We recently visited with my husband to celebrate the anniversary. The receptionist at the entrance disappeared after the greeting. The order was expected for about an hour. There is no waiter in the hall. The other guests had a banquet and were served first. Pumpkin soup with shrimp is the only delicious dish from the order for 100 rubles.
The renovation in the establishment is good, the atmosphere is cold. There was no celebration. There is no desire to return to this place anymore.
I recommend you to visit! I especially like how cocktails are prepared. Bartenders Evgeny and Victor take into account the wishes and make unique pieces.
We celebrated the alumni meeting on 11/30/2024. We were here a year ago. The cuisine has become much worse compared to last year, the choice is worthless, the quality of the dishes is very mediocre.
The medium asked for the steak, and the rare was brought.
Salads are tasteless.
We will not return here again and we do not recommend it to anyone.
A restaurant where you can comfortably hold a business meeting, enjoy the comfort, food. Of course, there are moments on economic issues, but they are not noticeable thanks to the nice service staff.
This is an amazing place, probably nothing in Belarus surprised me as much as this cafe.
The cafe is located in the very center, with a beautiful view.
We went there for lunch, it was Monday, 04/29., of the selected dishes: borscht was absent, pancakes with lightly salted salmon were absent, in general any pancakes from the usual menu were over, but you can order from a business lunch (the topic of pancakes has remained a secret for me).
Okay, we chose from what we had:
pancakes from the business menu (slightly salted salmon was not salty at all, but here it's a matter of taste) ;
Salad, there are no complaints about it.
Lentil soup with cheese sticks, which was eventually brought without cheese sticks, which was not mentioned, but to the question
- Where?
- there are none, I forgot to tell you.
The waiter, with a not very happy face and from the series, now I'll roll my eyes, what do you want from me.
In general, 2 stars for the location and the salad.
Do I recommend this place to friends who go there
- definitely not.
They came with their family for dinner, greeted us normally, and escorted us to a reserved table. We were given a menu, we ordered 3 types of snacks, drinks and 4 hot dishes.
We waited a very long time (taking into account that the landing was 35-40 percent), brought drinks and snacks without a single word, they didn't tell us anything about tinctures, although before that we visited restaurants with the same price tag, but the attitude was completely different to the guests. But the hot dishes were terrible, we waited for them for another 40 minutes and brought us this miracle called grilled octopus. You can't chew it, you can't cut it, but most importantly, it was just boiled or, how to say it correctly, overcooked. They called the waiter, asked us to replace him, he was poor rushing around with this plate all over the hall, 30 minutes passed and they said they couldn't replace him (well, probably because they couldn't cook him) They told me to choose something else. But what interests me is the work of the waiter and the administrators was, not that it was zero, but it did not exist at all.
I also ordered their pasta with beef in red wine, the pasta was too sweet, stuck together and undercooked (too far from al dente) the beef is tough and tasteless, although the most expensive pasta on their menu.
The drinks were normal, we ordered a liter of lemonade, but it felt like there was half a liter, and the rest was ice.
In short, it is not tasty and expensive. We were ready to pay money for delicious and fresh food, but it was a pity to pay for such a thing. The attitude of the staff is at a very low level, and in less expensive restaurants they are treated better. It was the first and last time.
We were at breakfast. The food was delicious, but the waiting time leaves much to be desired. The kitchen needs to work on the serving time. It's about breakfast.
There have been several times and each time the impressions are different
Sometimes they bring delicious dishes, the staff is very attentive. Literally a week later, the effect is exactly the opposite
But the conclusion was that we will not come here anymore
We took a complex of two and three dishes. Sorry, it wasn't delicious. The first one is cold, the meatballs are hard. Secondly, no one has eaten out of three people, the chicken is not finished, as if the tomato paste is terrible. The salad is tasteless
A fabulous forest. Incredible and stunning impressions from visiting this enchanted place. This place is probably cursed by an old communist. They will prepare delicious pasta for you, and they will give you cold borscht, but with warm sour cream. Your order will be accepted in 20 minutes with a half-empty hall, but they will assure you that there are a lot of orders. The first course will be TEA and COFFEE, not hot dishes or salads. Half of the dishes deserve praise, and the others you will not be able to force yourself to eat. Before ordering, ask what is on the menu. AMBIVALENCE is the correct name for this institution. But, however, the city is good, and it is not necessary to spoil the mood because of the food. It can be worse.
An incredible, new brunch menu.
Just a masterpiece banana cupcake, very tasty rice porridge with mango, and I also advise you to try the casserole 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Well, in general, a great place for the evening, the bar is 10 out of 10, the service is 10 out of 10, the atmosphere is 10 out of 10. I recommend you to visit!
It's delicious, they cook with a knife, you need to wait, you were with pets, you can stay with them in the hall, they were surprised to drink some water and just super.
A very overrated institution regarding the need to visit. We were on a weekday in August, there are not so many visitors inside. The service is super long, as a result, the shingles (such, by the way) were simply forgotten for us and made in a hurry at the very end. BUT the most funny thing with spaghetti arrabiata is that it's clear what kind of aldenta you need, the cash register is there, the door is there, but the fact that it's not spicy at all, the waitress explained: well, they forgot to put pepper... The curtain!
The place is atmospheric, the girl sings well, the view from the window is amazing, a quiet place in the center, the metro is nearby, the juice is delicious, the sofas are soft
The place turned out to be the most "not tasty" of all where we were. Although the expectations were high, as the prices, location and photos on the menu are impressive. But in reality it turned out to be completely different. The dishes differ from the photos stated in the menu, the wait is long, the taste leaves much to be desired
Excellent service of the waiter Sergey. I advised a salad with salmon hosomaki - it was very tasty, for hot I offered risotto with shrimp - the portion seemed to be designed for 2 people. I ate too much and was very satisfied, and all thanks to Sergey!!!
Plus, only for the location of the restaurant, a beautiful view of the avenue. The food is mediocre, does not match the price. I have been to this place several times, almost half of the dishes from the menu are constantly missing
We were attracted by the diverse menu with interesting dishes and the design of the establishment. After choosing the dishes, the waiter began to inform us about the absence of the dishes we had chosen, we chose others - not critical, but unpleasant. Then, after a while, they approached the selected lentil Soup with cheese grissini and reported the absence of cheese breadsticks and offered beetroot /lentil bread or ciabatta as a substitute - not critical, but unpleasant. As for the chicken broth with meatballs, they immediately reported that the meatballs would be replaced with chicken meat - it doesn't matter, but when the soup was brought, there was basically no meat in it, which shocked us. Margarita, the waiter, apologized and replaced our soup with one that matched its composition. Besides, Margarita, as an apology, offered us coffee and dessert at the expense of the establishment. We chose 2 coffees and brownies with pistachio and caramel as dessert - I liked it, Margarita suggested that we take the second dessert with us - nice, thank Margarita for her customer orientation and a way out of the situation.
They also took pappardelle Boscaiola with mushrooms and Viennese schnitzel. We would like to note a pleasant dressing for greens served with schnitzel.
A liter of grapefruit and almonds lemonade was chosen from the drinks, after pouring two glasses, only ice remained. We asked Margarita how much lemonade they brought us. As it turned out, a liter contains a full capacity of ice, which we were offered to redo with a lot of soda.
The dishes correspond to the photos on the menu. The food is delicious, I liked everything, we recommend you to visit. The wait is about 30 minutes, but the dishes are hot and delicious, the wait is justified. I would also like to note the cozy atmosphere in the cafe.
It's a great place. The food is delicious. Well done staff treat their customers with great Respect. The atmosphere is very cozy. The wait is minimal. Five out of Five and a little more. 👍👍👍👍👍
We were a company at a corporate party.I didn't like the word at all.very little space.The chairs of the neighboring corporate parties were moved almost on their heads.the program is about nothing. there is no dance floor.We danced on a tiny island.
Good, very good indeed. The staff is as pleasant as possible, not intrusive and at the same time you do not need to look all over the place. The cocktails are not bad and the food also evoked positive emotions. Thank you, well, we will come to you
I liked cranberry-basil lemonade and ramen very much. the salad with chicken is delicious, but the cherry tomatoes were put as stolen, the pasta with mushrooms did not go in at all, very fatty and a lot of cream in which pasta and pieces of mushrooms float, this is such a straight home story, but you still expect another level from the restaurant
if you sprinkle micro-greens on top - your dish will not automatically become a restaurant)
Why do we go to the cafe? Have a delicious snack. The interior and friendly waiters are pleasant, of course, but the main thing is the FOOD. So on Thursday we came to Berezka for breakfast, I ordered shakshuka. First of all, I found in it a nice and very sharp piece of shavings, a turn and a half from a jar of tomato paste. And shakshuka should be hot and spicy - it helps to be eaten quickly. It is possible to swallow such a chip for one or two and leave the Birch Tree for the hospital when it stands in the middle of the esophagus. I asked the Boss, but he's too cool to come to work by 12 o'clock - he wasn't there. While I was chatting with the waitress at the next table, shakshuka was returned. Yes, because even for me, who likes spicy and does not wince to eat jalapeno, it was spicy. Especially for breakfast. The dish is cooked absolutely wrong. Pfft... What can I say - maybe you shouldn't chase the picture, but just start cooking with straight hands and according to the recipe?
We were with a young man at dinner. The view, the interior is stylish and modern. The girl sings beautifully. The food is delicious. The prices are reasonable. We liked it 😊
A cozy place. I had a chance to visit in the morning of Monday.
The summer veranda is partially accessible to guests, half of the hall is closed (reservation on the tables).
You won't be able to sit at the window and look at the avenue.
They are greeted politely, the menu is not brought on its own, only upon request after a while.
Not everything is available on the breakfast menu.
The choice fell on English breakfast.
It's just incredibly delicious!!! Everything is harmoniously matched!!!! 10 out of 10, I just recommend it or I'm lucky)
They calculate quickly, the waiters are friendly.
I recommend
A pretentious establishment with zero maintenance. You order champagne, they put it aside and don't pour it. I have to get up and pour it myself. The waiters were clearly trained for a different level of service. They probably remained at the level of 67 when they opened.
That's great! Especially if you get to a business lunch. The portions are large, the food is delicious, the interior is thought out to the smallest detail. I really liked it. I recommend a visit.
Cool place! Pleasant atmosphere and polite staff. Very tasty cuisine. There is a hookah. But there is no parking)) but not far away, you can still find a place for your car and go to a cafe in a landmark place -Victory Square!
It's a disgusting place, the service is at zero. The waiter remembered the order only 3 times. The salad is beautiful on top, but inside it consists of stale greens and is a bonus. Change is not delivered by default.
The administrator resolved the issue, but the impression cannot be changed.
Overall, the place is good. Centre. Victory Square is beautiful at sunset.
There is a reservation. But there are a lot of free places as it is. From the list of selected dishes, 2-3 pieces were not available. For this, a minus star
Two stars! And that's for the location in the city center and a nice veranda. And also to the impeccable bartender (who actually saved the whole "party"). I arrived in Minsk for the first time, rented a hotel nearby, respectively, a birch tree nearby. I was here for three days in a row, so the picture of what is happening is objective: the waiters are sluggish flies most of the time are absent from the veranda, I go to look for them in the restaurant too, there is no one inside, it's understandable, with such a slow return of dishes, I certainly would not work here, listen to dissatisfaction from guests! With half the restaurant full, I alone would have coped faster with the delivery of dishes. Borscht-35 minutes (stupidly heat it up and put it on the table!) Draniki - ONE hour!!!! Hello.!! I repeat, only the bartender gives drinks quickly! The food is super mediocre, it's better to cook at home in the kitchen with your eyes closed. Although the menu itself is very interesting, Manager Anastasia, although she tries, it is clear that she is unable to cope with the situation and the incoming problems. Wi-Fi is terrible, for me, as a working person on a laptop, this is a very important aspect. It is sincerely not clear why the owner of the restaurant does not pay attention to the facts that are obviously annoying about poor service ... the restaurant can raise good revenue and make all guests well-fed and satisfied!! But alas.. that's what the lack of competition means, they say, so they will come! But this is a mistake, you can download sooooo
I will definitely not recommend it!This establishment was the only disappointment of such an excellent city... Of course, this did not affect the general mood, but the negative is obvious. We walked for a very long time and started looking for a cafe where to eat. In the area of Victory Square, they chose it. Why?! It's a very patriotic name. We went in, the interior is super! But, then we waited for 10 minutes when they would come to us to put us at the table-this is subject to availability. Then they also carried the menu for 10 minutes. Then they waited for 10 minutes to accept the order. Well, it would seem that the order was accepted, fine, given that they promised soups in 10-15 minutes, and hot pancakes) in 30 minutes. After accepting the order, they report that borscht and some of the kind of pancakes are missing in the cafe, this is an order of 4 people out of 6.How is that even possible?!? How can such dishes be out of stock?! Well, others have chosen... 35-40 minutes pass, we ask when there will be at least soup (for a moment it is already the cold borscht that we have re-elected), they answer in 15 minutes. Uh...What is this all about?! And hot, respectively, for another 40 minutes. This is taking into account the incomplete seating of the hall and daytime... In general, they left after drinking only drinks. Thank you for meeting many places on the way where you could have a delicious and quick meal! In general, then we were advised by the Cornflower restaurant chain! And we also recommend them!
The cafe is cozy. View from the window to Victory Square. As soon as we entered, the menu was brought. And they forgot about us. They tried to attract the attention of the waiters, but it was useless. After sitting for half an hour, and not waiting for our order to be accepted, they left.
I think even 1 star is a lot for this "legendary" institution in the center of Minsk. We were at lunch. We waited 10 minutes for the waiter to come up. He took the order for 10 minutes: at first he repeated verbally, confused everything, took out a notebook, wrote it down, but, along the way, he needed to double-check the notes, because even there he got confused and did not write everything down. Okay. I warned you that it's hot to wait for 40 minutes - and this is from the lunch menu, damn it! In reality, they waited for more than an hour. Are you guys serious? The bread that was asked to be served with the soup was brought when they ate even hotter, not only soup. At the same time, running past, he said 2 times, "I'll serve bread now" :)) The quality of the dishes is also so-so - in the refrigerator there is one vinegar, in the goulash raw potatoes, cutlets and purees without salt - this is understandable, everything is for an amateur, but put a pepper shaker and a salt shaker on the table! No, it turned out to be a shortage, and even on the nearby tables there were none. We did not ask, I'm afraid they would have been brought after paying the check ...))) So that you understand, the complaints are not so much about the guy who served us, although he, of course, did not cope very well - the restaurant management, do you think that 2 waiters on a huge summer playground during dinners is normal? Even the view from the window did not save from a pitiful impression.
The administrators' attitude is terrible. As soon as the receptionist came in, she had short, black, long hair, and instead of politely answering, she started kicking us out and saying at least "leave, you're just interfering with our work."
The food is delicious.
The waiter Maxim helped to decide on the menu what to order, he did not have to wait and call. Thanks!
The interior is modern, not intrusive, everything is clean and cozy. I liked it!
I haven't seen such a slow service for a long time. With 30% occupancy, the order was accepted in 15 minutes. A glass of beer was brought in 20 minutes later; carrot juice in 40 minutes, and bruschetta in 50!!! At the same time, there was a lot in the "stop", although the menu is very small. The waiter forgot to warn about the cooking time. In general, the level of service is a solid two. The salmon on the bruschetta was good and the administrator Anna tried to "keep her face", - for this + 1.
