The text deals with selected problems of catering in restaurants in Slovak Republic, as a transforming country. The research of public catering is based on study of internet webpages, press and web advertisements, phone numbers index and field research done by the authoress. It was realized in 2007 and in March and June 2008. It concentrated on problems of 'ethnisation' (by means of image of 'self', 'the others', 'image of the enemy'); 'genius loci' in the services of advertisement and competition: the problem of so-called 'ostalgia' (restaurants like 'KGB' or other forms of reminiscences of totality). The authoress emphasizes that the way of seeing the life in that era was specific in each of the reforming countries of the former 'Ostbloc' in the period after the breakpoint in 1989. The particular faces of socialism and historical circumstances in each of these regions were specific too.
