For the guests of the beautiful city of Minsk, it is a must-visit!
Service, kitchen, serving - the highest rating)
Thank you friends for such a kind welcome!
Delicious, but unreasonably expensive. Basically, nothing special. The wait is long, the interior is boring, the seating is cramped. I don't understand why there are so many positive reviews here. I liked it much more in the well-known networks of Minsk.
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)
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!
Perhaps the best place with truly original Belarusian Lithuanian cuisine. It's quite expensive at prices, but you have to pay for the taste) Kvass is top-quality. I always advise my foreign friends.

Good restaurant, great food, pleasant service.
Among the disadvantages - the prices are too high for Minsk, the level of Moscow and St. Petersburg, but the quality is certainly high in the Kitchen.
( Moscow and St. Petersburg are among the most expensive cities in terms of cost, not because they are capitals, but because of the high cost of products and staff salaries. Not all restaurants in the capitals are as expensive as Moscow and St. Petersburg)
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!!!
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
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 great place in the center of the city: the food is delicious, a fairly large selection of dishes; pleasant staff, and the atmosphere; you did not notice the disadvantages, thank you!!
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, a cozy atmosphere, several halls. Here you can get acquainted with the real Belarusian cuisine. They serve quickly, the waiters are polite.
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...
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.
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.
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!)
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
The restaurant is excellent, the dishes are delicious. I didn't really like the receptionist at the entrance, she was arrogant and seemed to be doing us a favor by escorting us to the hall. The waiters are great.
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❤
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.
The kitchen is delicious, the interior is pleasant. We tried borscht and draniki. I liked it, but it was expensive. 9 draniki in a serving with three sauces came out - 1800 rubles. Borscht is cheaper - for a serving of 600 rubles
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
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.
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.
The cabbage rolls from the last season of the menu were tasteless!
Borscht was a tasteless broth on which borscht was cooked, not at all rich, it felt like it was cooked on water!
The liqueurs were delicious, I can mention the berry one!
Americano coffee was tasteless, upset and drained at the same time !
The service is also a problem here , teach the staff to work !
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
Incredibly delicious! The makalka is flawless! The best dish I've tasted in Belarus!

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).
We visited in May 2023, and we liked the restaurant for its atmosphere, quite diverse menu and good cuisine.
You do not have to wait long for an order, the serving of dishes is fast enough, the decoration of the dishes is decent, good service, competent waitresses (can tell you in detail about each dish or give a good recommendation), delicious.
We can confidently recommend tartar, solyanka, a set of pancakes, pike cutlets, carp, and, of course, a set of homemade liqueurs.
The prices are a bit high, but it's worth it.

We have been here 5 times during our stay in Minsk. I really liked the cuisine and the atmosphere of the restaurant, both inside and on the terrace. Polite waiters, a very nice receptionist. It was easy to book a table, there were never any problems. The prices are acceptable, and the portions are really large. A place where you want to return. Parking is free nearby, which is also not unimportant. The food is very tasty, as are the drinks too. We will definitely come back to you the next time we are 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! 😊
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.
We arrived in Minsk late in the evening on December 30, and while we checked in, while we sorted out the connection, it was already late, and in Minsk the vast majority of cafes and restaurants close at 22-23 hours.
And there were 14 of us.
Anyway, Skullion
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!
I recommend all this establishment... it's very tasty there. The only drawback is that there are even a lot of people on a weekday, which is why the order takes a long time to prepare.
