The staff is polite and competent, the menu satisfies preferences, and the pancakes with caviar are the best that I have tried.
The set with tinctures is also very tasty

I really liked the restaurant. The dishes are delicious, the service is super, the staff is very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, we didn't stay in Minsk for long, we couldn't have lunch and dinner, but the breakfasts are great!
Guys, well done 👍👍👍🙂

First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to the waiter of this institution for such a long presence in my life, one morning breakfast. In an empty cafe, in the conditions of the menu, I repeat, "breakfast", where 5 dishes, our modest company managed to serve for 3 hours. No, we are not fans of eating a lot, just serving each dish for about an hour, whether it's a salad or even coffee. The food is average, the prices are overpriced, due to the location and interior, it's all clear, but come to breakfast and spend 3 hours of your life? People who have come to visit this country, hoping to "see the city", your personal and planned time is threatened by a meal in this wonderful institution.

The kitchen is a nightmare.Overcooked dry pancakes, over-salted.Beef Stroganoff as an addition to pancakes is over-stewed meat, mushrooms from a jar, of an incomprehensible consistency.Borscht with such small pieces of meat that they are not visible and just indecently small.Pasta with chicken- the chicken is over-dried.Beef tartar is bland, onion foam interrupts the whole taste, unpleasant. But the biggest disappointment is the beef steak with adjika.The waiter asked for the roast steak, but they brought the wrong one, the meat itself is dry. The pepper sauce, caramelized onions on the meat are icy, the side dish of peas and mushrooms is not seasoned and overexposed.The staff is slow.The bathroom is poorly cleaned

It's just terrible! The duck is spoiled, the roast beef is rubbery, the lemonade is delicious, but it was carried for 20 minutes. And they brought the bill for everything, sent it to be redone, I hope they will be able to!!!!

There is nothing like good cuisine, professional cooking!!!!
We came to Minsk for the weekend, went to have lunch with the family, on Saturday it was a day off when there were few, very few visitors.
The service leaves much to be desired: it seemed that only one waiter worked, it took 20 minutes to wait for the waiter's attention to his table (I had to go to the reception desk behind the waiter). As a result, the waiter, who was annoyed by the visitors, dropped a bottle of wine from his hands when opening it, dousing the visitors.
The dishes began to be served 50 minutes after the order was accepted!!!! The next course was served after another 50 minutes. At the next table, the customers were also very indignant about the long wait.
Borscht was ordered from the first courses: this is a distant reminder of borscht, where cabbage, cut into strips, and carrots, cut into large cubes and two veins of meat floated in light pink water. The dish is completely empty, not brought to taste.
For the hot meal, we ordered pasta with porcini mushrooms (this is what it says in the cafe's menu card, on the website it says simply "with mushrooms": they brought "pasta" with champignons. To our question "where are the porcini mushrooms?", the waiter replied that they are also "present" in the dish. We probably didn't notice them.
The only dish that could be given a "4" was steak.
The result of our lunch: 2.5 hours of waiting time, a spoiled mood and an empty stomach.
The management of the institution needs to read the reviews of visitors. And it would not hurt at all to test the professional knowledge and skills of the kitchen staff! Of course, this is advice to the management, who themselves have professional knowledge in public catering, and not just money for a business restaurant.

The pancakes with mushrooms were inedible, there was so much salt in the mushrooms that it burned the tongue, it was very strange that the institution was located in the center of Minsk and it was supposed to be delicious, but no, the prices were too high, the food was not tasty.

Delicious cuisine! The portions are large and served beautifully. The tea is delicious. The service is wonderful, the waiters are polite and personable. The prices are quite pleasant by Russian standards.
It's a pity that there is no way to leave a tip by bank transfer.

It used to be our favorite restaurant in Minsk. But there are changes. One of the most surprising was the decision to replace the neat rag napkins on which the appliances were placed with paper sheets advertising ala cheap fast food cafe. When updating the menu, some dishes were removed, it so happened that some of them were our favorites (chocolate tart, eggplant). The waiters and even the hosts (!) with haughty faces, not a trace of a smile (except for a few waitresses, who are always happy to leave generous tips, it's like we “owe something” to everyone else).

We booked a table on the terrace, when we arrived, it turned out that they had forgotten about our reservation, offered another table that was not quite suitable for us, we agreed. The waiter, too, turned out to be slow and with a bad memory, had to be reminded of his order. It felt like we came to his house uninvited.

Very poor service. There was a long hair in the dish, coffee was carried for 30 minutes and one thing was eventually forgotten, the child was served pancakes longer than dishes for adults. Porridge was brought to everyone after the main hot one, although it is logical to eat porridge first. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone else.

A beautiful fashionable place near Victory Square. I liked the pizza and tea. We were sitting inside, it looked more comfortable on the terrace in the warmer months. The service is quite fast and very polite.
However, for some reason they brought us a dish that we did not order. But they could not determine whether the waiter's mistake or the children were playing while he was recording the order.

We celebrated a corporate party on 12/29/12. Everything would be fine if it wasn't for the program! 30 rubles per person for the program and it was expected that it would be great! But! During the 4 hours of the corporate party, we were allowed to dance for about 30-40 minutes (and then everyone came up and ordered the music themselves, because what the "DJ" put on absolutely did not correspond to fun and dancing). Contests... Oh, horror, since the weddings of 2000)) "Santa Claus" is a separate story))
Unfortunately, this is the case when appearances are deceptive. To come and have lunch / dinner - yes, probably, but with the program, dear Berezka, something needs to be done.

The impression was spoiled by the service. The processes are not completely debugged. A long pitch. But this is a business lunch, gentlemen. People came for lunch. The flooring on the terrace needs to be repaired. When the waiter moves, the sofa and table wobble past certain tables. Unpleasant. I liked the pasta. Dessert was not ordered.

Terrible service!
I came to a half-empty restaurant, none of the staff greeted me. I sat down at a table with those who were waiting for me. The waiter brought the order and didn't even ask if I wanted to order anything, I'm not talking about a glass of water.
If there was an opportunity, I would put zero.

They left after 1.5 hours of waiting for the main course and did not receive it
Doesn't it seem strange that such things should be said to the waiters? In the end, after receiving an apology, they referred to the "banquet", it's funny
The result is a hungry child, I'm already silent about the rest of the family, salads about nothing, 45 minutes of cooking, does not match the price.
In general, a spoiled evening and mood

How a birch tree will spoil your mood for your money.
Overall impression: disgusting, and then there will be a lot of letters.
It so happened that the Birch tree is not far from my house, and when I went out to the store, I decided that I would eat there. Otherwise I wouldn't have gone there.
Here's what comes across right away:
1. No hospitality and culture of welcoming guests. There is an administrator at the entrance, when I came in, she did not pay any attention to me (in general, zero, as if I were an empty place), was busy with other guests, did not even say hello (M-multitasking is not about this administrator at all). To the right of the entrance there is a closet, closed, and you are standing, waiting and thinking, whether to take off your jacket and open the closet yourself (but somehow inconvenient, you seem to be visiting), or to pass right in your jacket (by the way, later I saw how the girl who was sitting at the next table took the jacket and they carried the closet, which once again emphasizes the unprofessionalism of the administrator), well, I waited until they paid attention to me, took a jacket and held it. And it was possible to say hello, smile and make it clear that now the guests will be conducted and approached. The mood was already spoiled, but ok.
2. Waitress. Very average. Arrogance showed through. I had to make a basic order + order food with me, I asked if I should place an order with me now or later, she smiled as if I had asked something stupid, and said -as you want (and I know that in some restaurants they take the order "with them" at the end so that the dishes were as hot as possible when you pick them up). In the Birch along the way , they did not hear about it
3. The most cringe: when I ate, the receptionist or the second waitress (not the one who worked with me) came up to me and asked if I could count, I said yes on the card. And then this waitress was gone) it took 4-5-6-7 minutes, it was like I was forgotten. When she ran past my table (not paying any attention to me), I asked her if I would be discharged soon, she said without looking at me, "Yes, yes, yes," and ran away. It was as disgusting as possible. No "sorry", nothing at all. By the way, the restaurant was not full, it's good if at least 50% were guests, but it was empty, while there were a lot of staff.
4. The first waitress came up to me and asked if she could count me)) I was already angry and indignant, to which the first waitress said that she didn't know at all that I should have already received the bill. I was further indignant, but she hid her eyes and looked at the floor. No one apologized. It was disgusting.
5. When I came to get a jacket, the "receptionist" who works at the entrance again did not pay any attention to me – she was busy with the guests who came. (I had to pick up my jacket from the closet). I stood and waited for her to be free, but she went to show the guests the hall. I asked, "Should I take the jacket myself?") but the staff did. She silently returned to the closet and gave me the jacket-she DIDN'T say A WORD!! No one apologized, no one said goodbye. If you are an administrator, you should be able to multitask, and you need to hide your emotions.
In general, 3 people worked with me (for a half-empty hall) and all three are not professionals at all. They left a disgusting impression and spoiled the mood. As for food, it's fine. Just fine, but no "wow". There are restaurants around with much more delicious food and normal service. I don't see any reason to go to the Birch Tree anymore or recommend it to someone. Any visitor will immediately notice a huge discrepancy with the external beauty of the cafe and the work of the staff.

Everything is fine except:
1. Steak with already cooled vegetables?
2. The steak itself looks more like boiled rather than fried meat, well, at least medium rare turned out in principle…
3. We ordered tartare, pancakes and meat. For some reason, someone decided to serve steak for us first, and then pancakes (it didn't work out to evaluate them, it's not dessert - they refused).
4. Pepper and salt for the steak probably need to be asked separately, since this was not the case…
5. An interesting solution by the author: a lot of carrot puree around the steak ... I couldn't appreciate it, because it's strange and therefore I just put it aside. It would be better to have a separate pepper sauce.
In general, three points, only for the waiter, the girl, although tired (at lunch on Sunday, but at least she was honest). Without it, there would be 2.

Unfortunately, it used to be much better for us! Now — orders are brought after 40 minutes, my friend forgot about booking a table for 7 people at the dr, then they carried food for eternity, a piece of iron was found in the food (from an iron washcloth for dishes). Previously, there was a very tasty pasta with seafood and espresso martinis((

Were 03.11.23 a company of 4 people. We ordered veal cheeks with mashed potatoes. They brought mashed potatoes with lumps, to our remark, they did not even apologize. After that, the waiter just disappeared. Drinks were carried for a very long time, in the end we didn't even wait for the order, asked for the bill and went to another institution. At the next table, young people swore that they were waiting for hotter for more than an hour, and as a result they left without waiting. The toilet was dirty, there were no paper towels, the urns were full.

The food is normal. Service 0. From the threshold, a woman with big lips looked at me from head to toe with a nasty face - the receptionist 🤡 I asked which table my girlfriend was at, to which I received the answer "turn around and see how I know"... ok. Our waitress didn't know the menu at all. She didn't understand what we were ordering, asked a hundred times and still brought the wrong thing. She couldn't answer questions about the dish, she just didn't fit so that we wouldn't ask. Terrible attitude and service. We will not come again

A wonderful restaurant. In the evening, they asked to book a table for breakfast, saying that they would really like to start the Birthday party at this restaurant. In honor of DR, along with breakfast, the staff came out with candle lights and congratulated. It was very pleasant. They asked for dinner from the chef. It turned out that it was necessary to inform in advance, but we explained that we were leaving tomorrow and went to meet us. The chef presented us with a hot dish - duck leg confit with dami glas sauce. An interesting story and a sumptuous presentation. Customer focus is 10 points out of 5. Above all praise. The prices are more than loyal. Thanks again to the staff of the institution! I definitely recommend it.

The restaurant has been built for a long time, the food is delicious, but at prices there are dishes that are not worth it, a beautiful serving of dishes, large portions. The atmosphere is a separate topic, everything is very pleasant, you are served at your level. The menu is varied, I ordered mulled wine and ice cream, and a cake, when the cake was brought to us, I immediately thought that it would be delicious, but this was the first opinion, when you start eating it, it is delicious and juicy.

It's good that at least they apologized.
Waiting for a dish for more than an hour and a half is such a thing. Perhaps because they ordered a "special offer" in insta, so they had to wait so long, but the very fact that you need to wait 2 hours until they cook is a fail. And judging by the reviews and photos, maybe it's good that they didn't wait for the dishes. In general, not the best place, well, either we were unlucky.
