Since 2005
Restaurant UFO (previously
Bystrica) is housed in futuristic flying-saucer shaped structure on the top of Slovak National Uprising Bridge across river Danube in Bratislava, capital of Slovakia.
UFO is "flying"
85 metres above river Danube, can be reached sing an elevator located in the east pillar, and offers a good view over Bratislava.
The west pillar houses an emergency staircase with 430 stairs.
Floor of the restaurant used to rotate 360 degrees per 45 minutes, but it does just rarely today as reported.
Restaurant is an icon of Bratislava with highest gastronomy level offered.
It's a modern and stylish reincarnation of the former Communist-style restaurant Bystrica that formerly occupied the space.
It can serve dinner for up to 130 seated guests or reception for 250.
The open-air observation deck sits 95 meters above ground level with the restaurant slightly below at 85 meters.
The restaurant offers a mix of seasonal Mediterranean and Asian fusion cuisine and the bar supplies cocktails that could easily compete with the hippest bars around the world.
The Bridge of Slovak National Uprising, commonly referred to as Most SNP, and named Nový most between 1993 and 2012, has four lanes for motor traffic on the upper level and lanes for bicycles and pedestrians on the lower level.
Constructed in 1972 as second bridge over the Danube in Bratislava, it is still the world's longest cable-stayed bridge to have only single pylon and one cable-stayed plane.
A significant section of the Old Town below Bratislava Castle, which included nearly all of the Jewish quarter, was demolished to create the roadway that led to it; on the other hand, the bridge improved access between Petrzalka and the rest of the city.
Parts of the historical city walls were unearthed during construction.
Lietajuci tanier na Moste SNP od roku 2005 ukryva restauraciu s priznacnym nazvom
UFO (predtym
Bystrica).
Nachadza sa vo vyske 85 metrov nad hladinou Dunaja, pricom vyhliadkova plosina je este asi o 10 metrov vyssie.
Vedie k nej vytah umiestneny vo vychodnom pilieri, kym v zapadnom je umiestnene schodisko o 430 schodoch.
Podlaha restauracie sa v minulosti zvykla otacat rychlostou 360 stupnov za 45 minut, dnes uz to funguje len zriedkavo.
Restauracia je samozrejme ikonou na bratislavskom gastronomickom nebi.
Nezacala s najlepsimi ohlasmi, skor naopak, no dnes posobi ako moderna, stylova reinkarnacie starej komunistickej Bystrice, so zodpovedajucou urovnou jedal a napojov.
Restauracia pojme az 130 hosti pri stoloch, pripadne 250 formou recepcie.
Ponuka vyber sezonnych stredomorskych a azijskych specialit, doplnenu o kvalitne vina a ine "dary baru".
Most SNP (v rokoch 1993 az 2012 nazyvany Novy most) je jednopylonovy, ocelovy, cestny, zaveseny most, postaveny v rokoch 1967 - 1972 ako druhy most v Bratislave cez Dunaj.
Je to jediny most v Bratislave, ktory nema ziadny pilier v prude rieky Dunaj. V roku 2001 bol vyhlaseny za stavbu storocia na Slovensku v kategorii mostne stavby.
A to napriek kontroverziam jeho vystavby, ked pocas nej musela padnut znacna cast historickeho stareho mesta a jeho hradieb, vratane takmer celej zidovskej stvrte.
