KOUN
1 PaulínyhoThe best ice-cream in the town. Beware of the lines...
This is a must if you're into traditional Slovak cuisine. The key ingredients are from a farm in Stupava, which has the same owners.

It's just across the street, so that's that's the main benefit. Otherwise, great chocolate cheesecakes, good atmosphere, ok coffee, bit pricy though. They also have breakfast and lunch menus.

Shady uphill street, which leads you to one of the major city parks - Horsky park. Recommended for runners/hikers. Take your smartphone or navi with you, there are many small irregular streets so it's quite easy to get lost.
