EMOTI Sharefood Tavern

EMOTI is a brand new addition to the Villa Sandy City Park resort, set within the city park of Košice. On arrival, guests are drawn in by the modern building with its striking water wall, while inside the restaurant an open kitchen and a central bar immediately catch the eye. The overall design, built around natural elements such as wood, glass and greenery, feels relaxed yet elegant. The atmosphere is lively without being noisy, making it equally suitable for couples and larger groups. Head Chef Jozef Hromják, known from the fine dining Restaurant SEVEN within the same resort, creates a menu that combines traditional Slovak flavours with a modern interpretation and focuses on a sharing concept. Guests not expecting this approach may be surprised by slightly smaller portions. The pork knuckle in clear aspic was tender and well cooked, with the mayonnaise and shallot mustard rounding out the flavours nicely. We were equally pleased by the modern take on holúbky, featuring juicy lamb with yoghurt to lighten the dish and tomatoes providing both colour and a fresh flavour contrast. The kefir termix with pear, which took us straight back to childhood, was lifted by the freshness of the ice cream. The food is complemented by a well-considered drinks list, including wines, craft beers, house-made lemonades and signature cocktails. EMOTI is easy to recommend to anyone looking for quality food, a pleasant setting and excellent service.
