Specialty Food Shops - Gourmet Goods

If you need to shop for top quality food products, you will find them at Stary Otec (Grandfather). This network of 15 specialized food stores in Bratislava offers gourmet goods solely from local farmers, growers and producers.

Here you can purchase first-class meat from Slovak farmers, high-quality sausages and hams, cheese, milk, yogurt and butter, free-range eggs, pastries and traditional sourdough bread, jams and honey, seasonal vegetables and fruit and other high-quality groceries. The philosophy of Grandfathers is to offer its customers exclusively Slovak goods and to help these great local, and often less well known, products become well recognized through its outlets. The network cooperates with small and medium-sized producers, carriers of tradition, whose aim is to stay small and concentrate on quality rather than quantity. Many of them proudly continue the tradition started by their grandfathers generations ago. Foods are fresh, seasonal and full of natural flavors that are not influenced by any additives or harmful preservatives and other chemical substances. Most of them are produced true to traditional recipes, home-made jams are sugar-free and contain a lot of fruit and honey comes from Slovak honey producers. With every product from Grandfather you will know its exact origin and by its purchase you will support small producers and give jobs to people in less developed regions of Slovakia. Enjoy quality local food and support a good thing!
