UFO is a restaurant in central Bratislava, Slovakia. It is located on top of the Most SNP bridge over the river Danube. The restaurant received the Restaurant of the Year award in 2011.[1] The name "UFO" comes from the restaurant's shape, resembling a flying saucer. The Most SNP bridge and the UFO restaurant on top of it are one of Bratislava's most famous and most prominent landmarks.

The restaurant is located on top of the bridge's support pylon. Access to the restaurant is available from two lifts located on the walking and cycling ways on either side of the bridge. The main carriageway of the Most SNP bridge is for motor traffic only. On the very top of the restaurant is a separate observation deck offering views over Bratislava. Access to the lifts costs €6.50, but when eating in the restaurant, this is deducted from the bill.

On the top of the saucer there is an area which gives a panoramic view of Bratislava.

The restaurant serves both traditional Slovak and international cuisine. The restaurant itself describes its cuisine as "Mediterasian".[2]
