I really like this legendary restaurant! It is better to book a table in advance, the place is popular.
Attentive service, fast food delivery!
This time I liked the dumplings with cherries) And cherry tincture is the best 👌🏻
A very cozy restaurant. Excellent cuisine, attentive staff with a good sense of humor! Convenient proximity to the best hotel in Minsk "President Hotel" - 5 minutes at a leisurely pace. I recommend it, it's been tested!
The restaurant fully met my expectations. We spent a wonderful evening with friends on the occasion of my birthday. Everything here is at the highest level, starting with the wardrobe. Delicious, satisfying, cozy, beautiful, sincere. I thank Alexander, who serves our table, for his high professionalism. A pleasant bonus was the music performed by the pianist. I'm sure I'll come here again!
A hype place. You walk in and immediately look at a wall with a lot of photos of celebrities of various kinds in the company of this very cook, whose dummy is also on display here. It feels very good, the managers at the entrance are very proud of their place, with slight carelessness sending you to make an appointment for the next visit, It turns out that we were lucky, there was a free table in the afternoon, provided that we had time to eat in an hour, then the table was reserved. We made it) The food was brought quickly, the service was pleasant, prompt, no complaints. But the food is the most ordinary, and it's not worth the money that they charge for it here!
There is a knight's hall, and a separate office, people arrange banquets here. Belarusian pleasant soft music. The interior is nice, but, in my opinion, a little heavy. So, if you are not a fan of HYPE and do not seek to join the cohort of celebrities who have visited this place, then it is better to go somewhere else, for example, next to a wonderful restaurant in the President Hotel, or, for example, to Your Own, it is delicious there)

Everything is delicious, pike cutlets 10/10, the most delicate delicious
Dranikov's set is good and the serve impressed us
The tinctures are unrealistically delicious and are drunk like a compote, I recommend everything that is mixed with honey and cherries
We remove 3 stars for the hair found in the draniki, I did not talk in front of my wife and visitors nearby so as not to spoil my appetite and impression of the institution.
We all understand and the human factor was not canceled by anyone, but after all, the management could take measures to avoid such incidents, especially at such prices (slightly above average)
And so everything is great, the waiter is a great fellow, he asked everything he needed, explained, the dishes for Monday morning did not have to wait long
It's a pity that the impression was so spoiled...
Traditional Belarusian cuisine. We went on a day off in a company of 7 people without prior reservation. Surprisingly, we were seated in 10-15 minutes, and in a separate cozy room at the back of the restaurant. The restaurant is full of ancient historical artifacts from the times of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, the Grand Duchy. On food: we ordered a lot of different dishes. There is a very diverse cuisine, especially in terms of potato dishes, which is not surprising, and also abounds in snacks suitable for stronger drinks, which are presented in a variety, in addition there are "ladies" drinks. I especially remember zubrovka and horseradish. The feast ended in a good mood and overfilled bellies. Separately, I would like to highlight the work of the waiters, who are friendly and courteous. Let's come back again! Thanks!
A small restaurant in a rustic hunting style. There is a summer terrace. The menu is not large, mostly with national popular dishes and snacks. Drinks for every taste + tinctures according to your own recipe.
Everything is delicious and very satisfying. The portions are large, the serving is delicious.
Pleasant, friendly, helpful staff.
The price level of the menu is above average.
It's probably the best I've ever eaten in Minsk. It seems like an ordinary cutlet with mashed potatoes, but in fact it's a haute cuisine dish. I really liked the atmosphere and the service.
We ate solyanka, peroxide for me, I didn't like kvass either, it was very tart, there was not enough sweetness, but the set of pigtails was excellent. But everything and everyone is an amateur. The waiters are wonderful, the place is nice
Guys, this is fat fat! I've been there 2 times. I ate too much and could barely walk afterwards. I think everything is delicious there! I recommend soups with soups and a meat plate with rich lard and sausages. By the way, lard is the most delicious thing I've tasted in Minsk. The recipe is as follows: take a singed black bread, rub with garlic, lard on top, pop a horseradish bowl, a spoonful of borscht, and eat previously prepared bread. (If you don't salivate after reading it, you're not my friend)
A wonderful place, perfectly cooked dishes of national cuisine. It is convenient that there are sets of dishes, you can try a lot of things. Keep in mind when ordering that the portions are really large and the dishes are hearty. The tinctures are lovely. The work of a waiter is beyond praise, we have not seen such a job for a long time, they know and love their job. Great fellows, keep everything at the same level and you will always have as many customers as you do now.
A wonderful place, a cozy atmosphere, several halls. Here you can get acquainted with the real Belarusian cuisine. They serve quickly, the waiters are polite.
Excellent restaurant of national Belarusian cuisine. Everything is thought out for the format of the institution: menu, interior, even background music. Delicious food, own drinks, friendly and attentive staff.
If you want to get acquainted with Belarusian cuisine and/or introduce foreign guests to it - you are definitely here!
A top-level restaurant, everything is very very tasty. The food, drinks, and service are great!

We went to have lunch on Fri and without reservation. They were very politely greeted and quickly offered several places to choose from. The soup and hot food were brought very quickly, the child and we liked everything very much.
Yes, I read negative reviews after visiting the restaurant and what conclusions do I draw as a tourist from the Union state: the terry province puts 1 star and they took themselves to the city, and forgot the village from themselves, ahaha))) but I really burned out of these 3-sheet compositions, as this audience burned out. And the tone of the restaurant team's response is adequate and ironic, which confirms a great sense of humor! To whom in cornflowers - in cornflowers, and who wants to try authentic national cuisine, come here) if you need to explain, then you do not need to explain!
I am a sophisticated person and used to good, friendly, unobtrusive service, delicious, high-quality food from chefs who really know their business. During my 6 days in this wonderful country and 2 days in Minsk, I visited restaurants choosing only from places with a rating above 4.5*. I can authoritatively say that the Cook is the best institution with the best attentive service in Belarus!!
If the administration of this institution ever reads this, please mark the waiter Vita, she is a great fellow!!!
The kitchen is delicious, the waiters are friendly, but to get there you need to go through another quest. We tried to book a table three times, and all without success, neither by phone nor in person. They stood in line. The tables seem to be empty, the hostess works very badly. I shoot stars only for hostesses

A gorgeous place with very tasty cuisine, tinctures (zhuravinka, zubrovochka - great).Everything is very tasty! Try carp - it's delicious. Special thanks to the girls, the receptionist, who was able to land us without an appointment and a long wait, and the waitress!
Pleasant atmosphere. The interior is in the national style. I liked the dishes and drinks of Belarusian cuisine. The prices for the city center are adequate. The staff is polite and, most importantly, trained.
Pleasant cafe, excellent staff, interesting design. But the price of the menu is clearly too high, the taste qualities do not correspond to the cost a little.
National cuisine, very friendly staff, pre-booking is required, there are often no available tables. A popular place in the city center. Delicious cuisine, a good entourage inside. Like it. I recommend.
Very tasty, hearty food. The portions are huge, I advise you not to order a lot at once. The dishes were served quickly enough despite the large number of visitors. It is better to book a table in advance. If you want to try the national cuisine, then you are here.
A very pleasant place with excellent cuisine and service. The waiters are friendly and tidy. A place where you can get to know Belarusian cuisine better
What should I say? We came here in search of Belarusian cuisine. It was not cheap, they took a lot of different dishes. I liked only cheesecakes and dumplings from the whole set. The children said that I cook pancakes better - and I agree with that. We didn't really like the cuisine in the restaurant... There are places that are tastier and better in terms of service and interior. In addition, the hot dishes were served for 1 hour. At the same time, they brought me a salad, and the children looked at me with hungry eyes. Of course, we may already be spoiled by good service, but you expect a higher level from a restaurant. Moreover, it is actively advertised by guides. Therefore, I do not recommend the restaurant.
And the restaurant's response to my review is great))) in general, all responses to reviews with low ratings are puzzling and perfectly illustrate the attitude towards guests...
We expected more after reading the reviews. The menu is decent, the staff is polite. We ordered a salad with beetroot and homemade cheese, beetroot and cheese are excellent, but lettuce leaves with sand, not washed. The hodgepodge is thin, but the borscht was delicious. A duck leg with apples in the duck part can be praised, apples with cherries are very sweet and with a lot of fragments of spices that are put during cooking: cloves, coriander, some other woody inclusions. Apple kvass and assorted liqueurs are excellent.
The perfect place to explore the local cuisine! Strictly by pre-ordering tables, everything is always busy! Book in advance. I recommend a mandatory visit. Parking at the theater nearby is free. Landmark exclusive buses.
We were in Minsk for 3 days. We looked at popular food places with a national flavor on the Internet. There were a lot of positive reviews about this institution. We stopped for lunch. The impression is depressing. Old shabby interiors, sticky floors in the toilet, it looks like dirt. The dishes and the serving are ordinary, like in a cheap eatery. We won't go a second time for any money.
Very tasty dishes, high-quality and homely, the service is good, but the prices are high when compared with Cornflowers (it is twice cheaper there), but here the level is twice as high in terms of the quality of the dishes and service. Prosperity to you❤
We had a rest in Minsk with our family and, on the advice of a friend, visited this restaurant. Amazing cuisine and atmosphere.

An excellent place to relax and explore the national cuisine of Belarus.
It is better to book a table in advance. But we came in fact, we had to wait a little - it didn't bother us. Convenient location, there is a cozy summer veranda, friendly staff, stylized music.
The choice of dishes was not easy, as I wanted to try everything. Thank you to the waiter who recommended trying the draniki and mochanka - I got it 100%!
We highly recommend the place! Prosperity to the restaurant, and crowds of visitors! :)
Wonderful restaurant, great atmosphere, delicious food and top-level service!
We were vacationing with my family (me, my husband and two children). The atmosphere is mesmerizing from the first step into the restaurant! A lot of little things, thanks to which everything in common is built - a great mood!)
Everything that was eaten, on the advice of the excellent waiter Alexander, was very tasty: draniki, medallions, vereshchaka!! Oyy is an explosion of gastronomic emotions))
Special thanks for the service! Alexander knows his business from start to finish!
We will definitely come to you again!)
They wouldn't let us in. They said all the tables were booked. The time was five o'clock in the afternoon. And apparently, until 23.00, 6 o'clock in a row, people were chewing non-stop. We asked if it was possible to wait, since this was the first time we had been to Minsk, and it was only a day. The restaurant was recommended by a friend from Belarus. But..... Alas. The restaurant is not aimed at guests. Only, apparently, on their own.
I liked it, we ate Belarusian cuisine, kholodnik, dumplings, bulbyanik, sandwiches with twisted bacon - everything is very tasty. But there are a couple of buts.
It's very stuffy in the back room, well, it's just unbearable. It is necessary to do normal ventilation, since there is a basement and no windows.
There was live music, yes, the singer has a very good voice, it's nice to listen. But the repertoire... a mixture of Russian folk and Soviet pop... I understand that the scoop theme is exploited everywhere here. But at least some of the Sabres were sung in Belarusian.
And so it reminds me of restaurants for European foreigners in St. Petersburg in the pre-Soviet times: accordion-balalaika-katyusha. That's just I'm not really a foreigner, I didn't get it))))
A wonderful restaurant. The atmosphere is wonderful. The national soundtrack. Delicious dishes of national cuisine. And the staff is very friendly and attentive. We were lucky, and we got in without armor. But next time we will book
A pleasant place, purely local flavor. I recommend you to visit for lovers of delicious food and snacks with vodka. Soups are great, pancakes, snacks are all delicious. I recommend
Moscow prices for, in general, ordinary dishes of Belarusian cuisine. Although the dishes are undoubtedly decent. There are always a lot of people, although it is not a problem to find a good quiet place comparable to this in Minsk. In short, for tourists from Russia, who will not be surprised by the price tag. It's going to be a little expensive for the locals, I guess.
It's strange how the most ordinary place, filled with grandmother's things with Soviet music playing against the background, decided that it was a premium institution and raised prices twice, and for some dishes three times. the divorce of tourists, no more. You can find more interesting places in Minsk.
The atmosphere in this restaurant was very pleasant, and the service was excellent. And, of course, I can't help but mention the food - the dishes were delicious and beautifully served. I enjoyed every bite! All in all, it was a wonderful experience, which I am happy to recommend! 😊
If you want to satisfy your hunger, then you are here. After walking around Minsk, be sure to try the local cuisine. This institution will take care of the empty "belly" of the client)))
Waiter girls, lovely beauties!!!
A charming place! We were celebrating a friend's birthday. The kitchen is at the highest level! I would especially like to mention the friendly and attentive service from the staff! I liked the tinctures!

Oh my God, that was amazing. It's been a long time since I've tasted so good. Beer, tinctures (which they prepare themselves), dishes, service, everything is at the highest level.
Sorry for the details, but even in the toilet, the toilet cover is automatically replaced. This is space in general.
A top-level restaurant, a magazine menu with a description of everything in mind of mini-stories, not just ingredients listed.
Vereshchaka is generally, my respect, such a delicious thing that words cannot describe.
I recommend it to everyone, but I warn you, the bill will be tidy. With alcohol, we had 300-350 rubles for three of us. (For Russian ~ 12k, at the rate for July 2024).
Attention, there are very large portions here. We took three dishes for two + 2 sets of kvass and ate so much that we walked around the city holding our bellies for the rest of the day. But even so, it was worth it. Extremely tasty
