Great location, relaxed atmosphere, picturesque waterfront, modern architecture and interesting views… These are also the advantages of the new urban enterprise on the banks of the Danube. PaB Donau has the name of this river in its name and today can proudly claim the Falstaff Awards 2026 to its credit.
When quality takes the form of a fork
The Falstaff Awards 2026 ceremony took place on 17 March 2026, and the Falstaff Awards are the result of a rigorous mapping of Slovak gastronomy. Plus points are always awarded by experts and Falstaff Gourmet Clubs members themselves, and every single point is converted into a fork award when added up. The more points, the more forks and the higher the award. Restaurants can receive one to four gold forks from Falstaff. Four is already master level, i.e. world class. A comprehensive score of 100 points is decisive, and a business must achieve a minimum of 80 points to be included in the bedecker.
The new face of Bratislava gastronomy scored significantly
The Falstaff rating catapulted this PaB in Eurovea II among the gastronomic elite of Slovakia and today it is the proud owner of two golden forks. However, the judging criteria are demanding: the taste of the food, the quality of the ingredients, the presentation to the guests, the service itself is also important. Thus, professionalism, speed, friendliness and overall impression. Points are also awarded for drinks and the atmosphere in the restaurant is not negligible. What is its design, what is its cleanliness, because these are all perceptions that visitors take away. In the case of PaB Donau, the fact that the cuisine artfully combines the Austro-Hungarian heritage with modern urban design was also decisive. Under the direction of chef Anton Meszaros, it offers classic dishes such as Wiener schnitzel and tafelspitz. However, guests who prefer lighter dishes will also find their own. Add to that the terrace on the promenade, the romantic view of the river, and a great experience is guaranteed. Quite simply, Two Forks is a major accolade for PaB Donau and a guarantee of quality for guests.
Recognition also for the beverage offer
In the case of PaB Donau, the drinks offer also scored, dominated by the unique craft beer from the Pálffy Brauerei (PaB) brewery in St. In addition, this offer is also closely linked to the VIAJUR winery, which commemorates the history and combines it with the unique terroir of the Lesser Carpathian region. In the cellars of the Pálfy Manor in Svätý Jur, wine has been produced since the 15th century and today combines years of experience with state-of-the-art technology. A stay at PaB Donau will also be enhanced by creative cocktails that fit right into this urban setting. The two Falstaff forks for this Bratislava PaB are both a commitment and a motivation to ensure that this new establishment on the banks of the Danube does not lose its charm, charm and professionalism.
