Slovakia's national dish, soft potato dumplings under a thick layer of fresh bryndza sheep cheese and topped with bacon, served at every honest Bratislava restaurant.

Bryndza is a soft sheep cheese with Slovak PDO status traditionally produced in the Tatra mountains. Slovak shepherds in the High Tatras have made bryndzove halusky on open fires for centuries, the recipe codified in Slovak national cooking through the 1918 Czechoslovak Republic and protected by EU PDO in 2008.
