It's a great place.
Not only the kitchen, but also the service is excellent.
The waiter creates beauty on the table all the time, exposes the lighting, everything is to the point and unobtrusively.

Book in advance, there are no available seats.
I wanted to celebrate my wife's birthday here. I called in advance and booked a table. Later they called back and said that the table was booked under air conditioning, they decided to clarify if it was scary. I replied that it was scary, since the weather was not +30 and we were on vacation, I would not like to catch a cold. The manager started offering a large table for 8 people, I agreed, but she immediately gave the back one, explaining that she could not put two people at a large table with a full landing. Then why offer it? As a result, it turned out that he could not offer anything else. If you do not want to spoil your holiday by organizing everything in advance, then avoid this institution. Spoiled mood and plans are guaranteed to you.
The cuisine is delicious and varied, with a national flavor. Pancakes for every taste! Hoppy homemade liqueurs and tinctures. Excellent waiters. It's worth a visit!

We came here twice during the trip, because we couldn't try everything we wanted at one time. A very cozy place, excellent service and menu. Separately about the menu: I really liked it. The very concept of slow food, focus on seasonal products, national cuisine.
Well, everything was delicious, of course, otherwise they would not have returned)
Our favorite cafe in Minsk. We were here in 2018 and in 2024. The quality of the dishes, service and comfort remain on top. It's a very atmospheric place.

It's a very hot place, but it's not worth it. You can only get in by booking or first-come, first-served, which can take up to 1.5 hours. The waiting time for the dishes is 30-40 minutes. I would like to mention the good work of the waiters. I wanted to try something unusual from the national cuisine because that's how the place is positioned. There is a choice of dishes, but not a lot of potatoes. Prices are also not humane, for example, a set of draniki costs 60 bel.rub. The dish itself is delicious. The institution itself leaves two feelings. There is no desire to come here again.
It's a good place. We have a mandatory place to visit when we are in Minsk. Delicious, cozy. But it is better to book in advance, you can fly with a visit
We ordered traditional Belarusian dishes: borscht, warlocks, krovyanka, etc. Everything is of very decent quality. I liked the set of liqueurs and kvass))
Perfect in every way! Service, Kitchen, location.
It is better to book a table by the evening, but if you did not do this, the staff will try to find an opportunity to arrange a place for you! Well done!!!
It's a great place! Everything is at a high level: the food, the service, the atmosphere, and the soulful songs of the "Pesniars". Also, in honor of the birthday, they brought a surprise - a gingerbread heart)) I liked borscht, a set of pancakes, a cutlet (like "Kievskaya") and a wonderful kvass. Quite reasonable prices with such a quality of dishes, in St. Petersburg it would cost one and a half times more expensive. If we were locals, we would become regulars of this restaurant! We wish you prosperity!
The place is gorgeous. The interior, the waiters are on top. Food for an amateur, I did not quite understand the blood and giblets))) the tinctures are very tasty.
I am the first in Minsk.And we decided to celebrate my birthday.We found this place based on reviews and booked a table.Upon arrival , we were escorted to a table .And as there were reviews that the waiters serve different, it is not clear how they are put.We made an order .I really liked the cream soup of sorrel and spinach straight bomb👍🏻my husband's borscht was delicious , but not enough)Beetroot salad with cheese, pear, you know, it seems like nothing, but somehow it's not as it was thought.The wine was delicious and dry, I took it on the advice of the waitress and said it was popular.My husband drank local cognac, he didn't like it very much)There was a frying pan with fried eggs and I'm afraid I won't write the name, shingles inside with meat with mushroom sauce)It doesn't seem bad.They took one with them because they had eaten enough.And cabbage rolls, but when I already opened them, I was just shocked by their size😔And no, this dish is not mine, alas.At prices, you know, as I understand it, everything here is not very cheap.Of course, I understand that nothing costs 3 kopecks now.It 's just that there are moments for which it is clearly expensive , but the quality and size 🤷🏼♀️So the place is good, the kitchen is old tinctures, snacks, just my opinion is twofold.
It's quite a good restaurant. The menu has national cuisine, good location in terms of walking distance. Prices are above average in the city, the food is delicious. There are quite a lot of visitors. In general, I recommend you to visit.
Everything is yum yum. We were passing through. It's not cheap, of course, but it's very tasty and atmospheric, but in such a business-historical style. I came up with a new style😄
When visiting, there were no empty seats, we decided to expect, the receptionist girl is very unfriendly. The interior is a little dark. The waitress is friendly, explained everything patiently. The food is delicious. There are a lot of photos with stars, but if you are not a star, then you are not very welcome…
Good morning. We were in Gorky Park, decided to have a snack. We wanted to try Belarusian cuisine, the choice was obvious. The place is good, the staff is friendly and professional. The dishes were served quickly:I am delighted with soups. But the set of pancakes upset me: it looks more like pancakes; for 2k rubles, 5 pancakes and 3 half sausages...
When you want national cuisine, then only here! We've been here more than once. And to drink, and have a snack, and listen to national melodies - it's all here. It's warm, cozy, and delicious. The waiters are very friendly. When I really really want pancakes, I always think about the Cook. But draniki, of course, is not the only signature dish. Everything is delicious))) Thank you for your hospitality.
excellent restaurant, delicious food, to get acquainted with the national cuisine, it's the most, I advise excellent apple kvass and delicious tinctures 👌🏻
a compliment before a meal perfectly accelerates the appetite)
This is the place where we will definitely return!Delicious dishes, fast delivery, excellent service!They ordered soups, hot dishes, cuts, desserts and alcoholic beverages. If you did not calculate and ordered a lot, and this is very possible when you want to try all the menus and dishes of impressive size, no problem-they will pack it with them.We were with small children, including in a stroller, and without looking at it, we were perfectly accommodated.An interesting interior, I will add a toilet room to the overall impression, compared to other restaurants, it is impeccable. Skullion-we are yours forever!)
Photos with famous people who were here are posted at the entrance. The service is excellent. The dishes are SUPER! Fish cutlets, to taste - from real carp, pike! Please note - this is a rarity.
The restaurant itself is very cozy, the choice of dishes is sufficient. The order was not small, everything was served pretty quickly. They cook well, the portions are large and delicious)
Be sure to try apple kvass 👍
When you are in Minsk, be sure to go to the Cookery, pleasant service, a varied menu of national Belarusian dishes. We took a set of sausages with dranik, a set of drinks, and a set of 12 liqueurs))) I liked everything very much. I recommend
The place is not bad. Everything is fine in the kitchen. Delicious dishes. The service is on the level. I took off the point for being seated at the table at the entrance. It was very cold. Each opening of the front door to the restaurant brought a wave of cold to the table. The wife was forced to sit in a fur coat. It's not comfortable. Maybe you should put the door to the hall instead of a curtain that does not save...
I don't understand why everyone wants to visit this restaurant so much, but we were unlucky. We were in Minsk for only 2 days with a family of 2 adults and 3 children, and on the first day we never got there, because there was a crowd of people waiting in the lobby, and the administrator announced the waiting time of 40 minutes. On the second day we decided to wait, after 25 minutes we were seated at a table. Polite waitress Anastasia took the order. Soups (mushroom with pearl barley for the eldest daughter and borscht for the son) were brought quickly, in 10 minutes. BUT we found a worm in the soup ((. Photo attached. Naturally, they apologized to us, saying that they could be in mushrooms, but the appetite was spoiled. Then we waited for our hot dishes (for me, my husband and younger daughter) for about an hour, until I already asked the waiter, actually where? The dishes turned out to be average in taste, the wow effect did not happen. As an apology for the worm, the soup was not included in the bill and a portion of the dessert was presented with brushwood. But this did not brighten up the already spoiled impression of this place. In addition, while waiting, I witnessed that the receptionist scolded the guest for being 20 minutes late. Not professionally. And the prices are unreasonably high. In general, think about it. Minsk is full of excellent restaurants and high-level cafes. I'm definitely not coming here anymore.
I liked the restaurant - delicious food, trained staff, definitely a seasoned atmosphere in the Belarusian style. A friendly team. We were sympathetic to the individual order, which was pleasantly surprised and pleased. Very expensive!
Very interesting and organic interior, delicious national cuisine. We visited several establishments in the city and liked the draniki here the most. The location in the center is convenient to go before/ after a walk. Perhaps it is better to have a local restaurant in the city
There was a risk of not getting into the restaurant, because it was Friday, but the administrator does his job for 5+ and the kitchen is just great) I advise you to try everything)
It was very tasty and atmospheric. But they cook for a long time, they were treated to tincture for waiting (this brightened up the expectation). Samsung pay payment does not work, be sure to take a card or cash with you. In general, I liked the place very much.
It's not a bad place, we got into it without any problems. I liked the atmosphere and the service. But I can't share my delight about the kitchen. We knew that this is a very popular place among tourists with a high rating, but the cuisine did not make an impression.The first to bring treats from the institution-garlic croutons, it would seem super-nice (it's clear that you immediately want to order beer), but why are they cold? It would seem a trifle, but why such an attitude towards such things? If, in essence, from what you ordered, then really the pancakes are mediocre, a lot of butter (I know that you will say that you fry them practically without it), a salad with warm chicken would be all right, but why so much sauce at the bottom of the plate? It looks like mayonnaise from the store. We took one hot dish-it's not bad, but it's definitely not ah! As it is written here. We have been to Minsk many times and there is something to compare it with. The place is not bad, but it's not worth queuing at the entrance. Plus, if you are such a well-known institution with many years of experience, then why is there not at least a primitive children's menu?
And one more point personally to those who respond to reviews, after reading many of the answers, I would like to say that they are often very unprofessional, harsh, and sometimes border on rudeness. I saw them after the visit, it was unpleasant, the overall impression deteriorated even more.
Excellent restaurant, one of the best in Minsk!
A pleasant atmosphere, 3 tables were occupied during our visit, it is probably worth booking for the weekend.
With regard to alcohol, it is a good choice, but nothing outstanding, I remember the borovik tincture separately, very interesting. A separate delight, kvass! It is necessary to try it necessarily and all kinds!
The food is delicious, the serving is beautiful - there's not even anything to add! Salads, hot dishes, snacks - I liked everything!
The place is a tourist destination, primarily due to the excellent national cuisine! The second factor is that the restaurant turned out to be the most expensive of all visited in Minsk. I am not an expert on the Minsk PO, but I believe that for tourists, such a receipt will look normal, but for the local population it will be expensive. But it is necessary to visit, at least once, it is worth both!
It's amazing. Very tasty. Borscht is a separate song. This is the only one here.
I didn't finish the draniki, they put it with them.
Delicious.
Well, the service is super
Quite expensive, but delicious. Nice interior, I like dim lights. Delicious tinctures. It will probably be expensive to go there every day. But you should definitely go. The Mir card is accepted for payment. But only if it is physically available, not in digital form.
We liked both the cozy, retro-style interior and the borscht, which was quite light, which was a big plus for us. Pike cutlets with mashed potatoes are just a hurricane, I recommend it!
The atmosphere is cozy, pleasant music sounds. Clear. The service is excellent. The kitchen is for 4. The dishes are large, the serving time, despite the large landing, is small. There is no separate parking.
A pleasant place with an amazing atmosphere. A bit of a long wait. The food is delicious and satisfying. I advise you to order gradually, and not immediately a mountain. I will not tell you about the tinctures, they did not order
One of the best establishments in Minsk! Great atmosphere and very helpful and courteous staff. For those who want to enjoy the best recipes of Belarusian cuisine, definitely here. Thank you for your hospitality! We will definitely come to you again.
A good idea, in general I liked the interior, not even the interior but the decor, but the restaurant pulls out the service, or rather the staff to which 5++++ , I did not like the whole kitchen, I would say for an amateur , the presentation is also not very successful for some dishes.
We liked the revenge, special thanks for being able to seat 5 people without prior reservation! The prices are high, of course, but everything was delicious! The children especially liked the borscht with pampushki! 👍
Great place, very tasty! The staff is competent and competent, they will offer dishes and drinks to your taste! The range of traditional local dishes is amazing! The prices are above average, but match the quality of the service and the service! We definitely recommend you to visit! Of course, the choice of local beer was a little more diverse!
