The story
Set in Košice's city park, EMOTI Sharefood Tavern anchors the resort's culinary scene under Sous Chef Dominik Demko and Executive Chef Jozef Hromják. The kitchen focuses on a sharing menu that blends traditional Slovak flavours with a modern twist. Guests gather around an open kitchen and central bar, choosing from smaller plates designed to encourage tasting multiple varieties at once.
The restaurant occupies a modern building distinguished by a striking water wall outside and a layout built around wood, glass, and greenery. This relaxed yet elegant setting fits the green surroundings of the resort while keeping the energy lively without becoming noisy. Couples and larger groups find the space welcoming for both casual meals and special occasions.
The menu offers distinct interpretations of regional favorites, such as tender pork knuckle served in clear aspic with mayonnaise and shallot mustard. A modern take on holúbky features juicy lamb paired with yoghurt and tomatoes for a fresh contrast. Desserts like the kefir termix bring childhood memories back, elevated by pear and the brightness of ice cream. These plates highlight how this Slovak cuisine honors ingredients while experimenting with texture and presentation.
Critics have noted the quality of the food and service, awarding EMOTI two Gault&Millau toques in 2026 shortly after opening. The drinks list complements the meal with a selection of wines, craft beers, house-made lemonades, and signature cocktails. The combination of thoughtful cooking and a well-rounded beverage program makes the tavern a strong recommendation for visitors seeking quality in the region.
