Cafe Verne
An affordable, bohemian café inside the Academy of Fine Arts building, popular with local students and offering budget-friendly lunch specials.
Located inside the Academy of Fine Arts building at Hviezdoslavovo námestie 18, Café Verne features antique furniture and Jules Verne-themed decor. It has a terrace in summer and attracts a crowd of locals and art students. Weekday lunch specials include a free soup of the day, with main courses around €8.5-9, and the menu changes weekly.
