Where to eat

Restaurant Na Mlyne, hidden down a tree-lined laneway on the road to Hrnciarovce nad parnou, is definitely one of Trnava's secret treasures. More great restaurants are Kamináč (near city edge), Forhaus which is a more expensive option and Patriot which is a certain staple of Trnava City arena food court Sumo - Tamaškovičova
