Crucially, specify 'bez trojobalu' (without breading/coating) and ask for it grilled or pan-fried. Avoid sugary cranberry sauce or fruit garnishes, opting for a simple side salad with oil and vinegar dressing.
Say this to the waiter (Slovak)
Bez trojobalu, prosím, len priamo opečený alebo grilovaný. Môžem dostať jednoduchý šalát s olejom a octom, bez sladkého dresingu alebo hranoliek?
No breading, please, just pan-fried or grilled. May I have a simple side salad with oil and vinegar, no sugary dressing or fries?
Watch out for
