A showstopping art-nouveau building hosts Košice's primo see-and-be-seen venue. Brunch options have a gourmet twist (like scrambled quail's eggs and bacon from woolly mangalica pigs) while dinners are central European comfort food with five-star presentation, including schnitzels and beef stroganoff. We're especially pleased with the mostly Slovak wine list – now, which one pairs nicely with a triple-chocolate mousse?
