A fabulous, traditional place, like the whole of Grodno.
Everything is delicious, fast and beautiful, which is important) pickled lard is generally a fire! Yes, with local infusions! It's not cheap, but there are plenty of guests.
The interior is quite interesting, there are several rooms, you can accommodate both a small and a large company. The basement is decorated with a lock. The staff is well trained, the menu is guided. The dishes are delicious, especially the pancakes in crispy breading.

The cafe is located in an ancient building on the basement floor, low ceilings with radial arches and many columns and small spaces, very cozy though dark (an ideal place for a beer bar).
The portions are very small, if you are hungry, you need to order soup and two hot ones (or a salad), it will cost 70-80 rubles plus a drink - in total, it easily runs up $ 30 per person - prices are greatly inflated even considering the location.
The waiting time for dishes is 40 minutes-an hour.
The kitchen is very mediocre. Draniki are fresh, borscht is 6/10, dumplings are dry and they cause heartburn. The choice of dishes is extremely limited and of the same type.

Very tasty food, national-style interior, convenient location in the city center. The staff is polite, friendly, the order was delivered quickly. The price tag is slightly above average. We took borscht and salad with chicken, green peas - it's just incomparable. The liqueur is gorgeous. Thanks to the cook! I would love to visit again.

The cafe is pleasant, located in a historic building, in the center, pleasant staff, food was waited for relatively short time. The cafe serves Belarusian cuisine. We took draniki - we liked it very much, the famous Cornflowers tasted much better, the borscht was not very salty.

The place is in the very center of the old town. We were the whole family. The pancakes and borscht were quite edible and even tasty. The dishes were not very large, we wanted to share a portion of soup between the children, but it turned out to be impossible here (although in the institution, which is immediately opposite, they met us halfway in the same situation). The frying pan with poultry and potato balls turned out to be a little greasier than my stomach could handle. Overall, I liked it.

2 stars for the location . There is nothing more to put stars for . There are breakfasts, lunches, dinners, it is convenient for residents nearby. The price tag is too high, the presentation is stylized, the cuisine is folk, but it does not reach its price tag. In such a heart of Grodno, they find and present themselves so poorly with cuisine. Guys! You can do better , since you declare the price tag to be a restaurant one .

Delicious, satisfying, good-sized dishes, relatively inexpensive, good service! I would like to wish the manager to consider the repertoire of the music being played in the institution, otherwise the name karchma is stylized as karchma and the music does not match. And so I really advise you to visit this institution!

The restaurant is wonderful. Despite the fact that it is located in the center, the prices are adequate and, most importantly, everything is delicious. And the dishes and the serving are generally original (it's a pity I didn't take a photo)But I advise you to go there yourself, try everything and see 👍

We were on an excursion to Grodno, went to have lunch. Very tasty soup and pancakes. The prices are quite reasonable for the old town. If there are places and the weather allows, it is better to sit outside. There's still not enough room in the room.

We were there for the first time - I brought guests.
Everyone ordered different things, everyone, including me, was delighted. The food is very tasty and the portions are good.
The only drawback is that I would like the waitress to be more friendly
But I give 5 stars for the food

It is cheaper than in nearby restaurants, but the taste of the dishes is not restaurant-like. Rather, it is a very good entourage dining room. The service would like to be a little faster. The waiter girl is nimble and polite, but she is the only one at all. In the middle of the day, some of the dishes were gone, because the kitchen had run out of some products.

We came again on 10/26/2024 to have dinner. I always liked everything, but this time something went wrong. After the order was brought, I realized that the composition of the salad did not correspond to what was described in the menu. An ingredient was missing, and the second one was added without warning. The second course was French fries. After eating with my spouse, more than half of the plate came across pieces with mold. There was still dessert, which was brought an hour after the order. There were apples with a musty smell in the strudel.
We didn't make a scene, apologized to us, paid and left. But the mood is spoiled. It's good that it didn't affect your health.

The place is very beautiful and located in the city center. The dish that was ordered was brought quickly.The waiter who served us made a good impression, but the second employee did not behave very correctly. A phrase came out of her mouth that made me not want to come back here.
The phrase sounded like this: "Why are they still sitting here?!"

A very decent and very efficient kitchen, polite and efficient waiters, waiting for dishes for less than ten minutes, the only minus is not the full availability of the assortment from the menu, for two visits it did not work out to try cheesecakes, and instead of moonshine, which also ended for some reason, I had to jam vodka =)

Very tasty! Mom remembered her childhood when she tried the dumplings with potatoes and cottage cheese that I ordered. They took pancakes with sour cream and something else (I don't remember anymore). Of the drinks - mors. Everything is delicious. There were problems with paying with an ozone card, but still managed to pay)
The only thing to notice is the dust. Sitting down at the table, there was a large layer of dust on the windowsill. Perhaps he was in other parts of the hall, but I did not notice. I advise you to wipe the dust more often, but I recommend it 👍

We visited this place on Sunday evening. We ordered dinner for three people. The waiting time for dishes is 30-40 minutes, in order to pass the waiting time, we took drinks - juice, beer and a glass of white wine. Mors and beer are nothing like that, but wine is a schmurdy, it's impossible to drink it. The dishes arrived almost simultaneously, only one of them did not match the order. They informed the waiter about this, the waiter made it clear with her grin that she didn't care - she didn't like your problems. The dish was refused. Will we come back here again?- I don't think so. There are better places.

The place, as it was written in one of the comments below, is a walk-through:
The menu does not please with variety, it is delicious at home and no more
I withdraw two stars for difficulties with payment -they said that they accept mir cards, in fact, it was not possible to pay with any of our MIR cards, I had to look for cash(

We didn't like it at the Tavern yesterday. First, they brought warm white wine and warm vodka and said that they only had warm wine. I didn't talk about vodka at all. By the way, the waiter is very polite. The service is fast. The atmosphere is normal, though a little gloomy.
Dumplings "with potatoes and mushrooms" turned out to be with potatoes and cottage cheese, but we must pay tribute to them - it's delicious. Sorcerers are very common. Nothing special. The herring in a beautiful jar turned out to be stale for a very long time, all falling apart with sourness. Not a credit. And in the end, like the cherry on the cake, they could not accept payment from our cards, of which we had seven different banks. Moreover, we clarified in advance, before ordering, whether they have problems with Mir maps. And most importantly, the girls didn't want to do anything about it at all. They just stood there and spread their hands. When I offered to pay with a good commission in Russian rubles, one said that "your rubles are not accepted anywhere at all." It was a shame, especially since it's not true.
As a result, I myself agreed with the citizens of the Russian Federation (they filled the entire restaurant). And we made the payment through them. As we understood in this Tavern, their bank accepts payments only from VTB and Sberbank, cards that we did not have. But for some reason I found out, and not the cafe staff.
In all the other restaurants we visited after that, the cards were perfectly accepted. That's it.

Delicious food. The sorcerers are fire. The grapes were a little too salty, though.
But the institution itself is from somewhere in the 00s. An uncomfortable room, very stuffy. And what surprised me very unpleasantly: in an institution of Belarusian cuisine with a characteristic design, songs mixed with club music were played. Well, that is, you eat a dranik, drink horseradish, and "if you're going to San Francisco..." plays against the background under the cue ball.🤡
Somehow it doesn't match the atmosphere.
In general, the food is 5, the atmosphere is 3. Together it is solid 4

The place is passable. The staff is polite and friendly.
The kitchen was pumped up: we took borscht with a girl, she made classic pancakes, I made beef stroganoff, and fruit tea with juniper
Borscht for 13 rubles . It's like a canteen, but it's served with a sandwich with bacon. The broth is not rich, without sourness. Without garlic and herbs.
Classic pancakes for 13 rubles. norms, without greens, sour cream from the store.
The most fucked—up is "beef stroganoff with pancakes" for as much as 26 rubles.: served without greens, without sour cream. The meat dish itself is dominated by champignons, which are not mentioned in the menu. Please note: the ingredients are not listed in the menu at all, which allows the institution to slightly manipulate the expectations of the visitor. For this, in fact, I give 2 stars.
And finally, tea: teapots the size of a mug (300ml), for some reason we got an insular Earl grey in them, despite the fact that we ordered "fruit juniper".
That's how it turned out: 1 position will pull you to the dining room level, 1 position is OK, 2 positions are outright crap. And after all, the chosen one is the most popular in the tourist center of Grodno, which could have been worked out a long time ago and brought to perfection without losing margin. "Come on, they're taking it.".. Or not?

Very tasty, good portions, pancakes with machanka are excellent.
There was a problem when paying with a Savings Bank card, but it was solved by transferring to the administrator's account.
The only thing is that the toilet would be cleaned more often.

Even I didn't understand these rave reviews. I understand that this is not fast food, that people come there slowly to communicate and spend time. But 1 hour and 20 minutes is an objectively long time to cook pancakes!!! And in all these 80 minutes, the waiter did not come up to us once, did not say that the food was delayed. I didn't offer anything, a snack of some kind. But what killed me the most was that when the food did arrive, I asked for the menu again. I wanted to choose some dessert. The menu was brought, and that's it... No one cares why I asked him. We ate and talked for another hour. But no one came up. I had to go to the bar myself, ask them to calculate and get out. And yes, there weren't many people. An empty hall. Apparently, someone worked alone, both as a waiter and a cook... I was tired and slept in the kitchen.

Traveling around Belarus, during these winter holidays, we managed to have lunch in Karchma, which is very conveniently located right at the intersection of Ozheshko Street and Sovetskaya pedestrian street, which charmed us with architecture, cafes, and local flavor. An atmospheric place, due to its convenient location, which is popular. But not only the place is red with Karchma, but with hearty and delicious food. Hot dishes, salads, meat pickles, including national cuisine, with fervor, with heat. Everything is fresh and the portions are good. Chilled visitors can order something hot for themselves, for heating and for a sincere conversation. Thanks to Karchma for the hospitality, we will remember this pleasant place!

Of the advantages: soups, hot in pans, desserts are delicious, prices are reasonable, the interior is not new, but quite pleasant.
Of the cons: the music does not correspond to the theme of the institution, the staff is not very friendly, but they do their job.
To try the national cuisine is fine.

We considered the Tavern to be the coolest restaurant in Grodno in advance, even on Saturday evening we could not get there because of the large number of guests, we did not have reservations. According to reviews on the Internet, we decided that they just feed perfectly. The food is good, it's true, but not for 5+. There are good dishes, warm salads are good, a hodgepodge for 4. This is a cellar with a bar, whoever likes such an interior is here. Not very cheap, but not ruinous.

The food is delicious, the staff is polite. The design style is more suitable for an ordinary cafe and not for an inn. The big disadvantage is that there is one toilet stall and while we were there there was always a queue near it
