I don't understand HOW cornflowers can have a rating of 5 stars, and Pushkin Times - 4.7. Are you out of your mind? The draniki in Pushkin are mind-blowing. Crispy all over the surface, golden. If we evaluate the institution itself, it would not hurt to think about ventilation, but since we were on the terrace, then it is normal. We were on the first day of our visit to Belarus and returned after the cornflowers. And we'll be back!
Good kitchen and interior! We took borscht, carbonara, dumplings and ribs! Everything is very tasty! Tinctures are good ;) the lemonade is great :) The desserts are delicious
The best way to feel like the nobility of the 19th century. Everything is just great, the service, the dishes, the interior is just on top!

We were in Vitebsk for a couple of days - we went to a restaurant, there were no special expectations, but the place was pleasantly surprised🍀The cocktail menu is excellent (bellini and rossini are delicious), shrimp, eel tartare, etc. - the portions are small, but that's the better - you can try more) we got to live music, the girl has a very pleasant voice, took a walk later and returned to the bar to have another cocktail, the bartender was talkative and endearing.
The place is a buzz and it is clear that the management loves their job, as well as the staff of this institution :)
We were in September-2022. The time from ordering to receiving the dishes:
- Tea - almost immediately;
- Borscht - 7 minutes;
- Napoleon was brought as soon as they finished the borscht;
- Dranburger - 27 minutes;
Strudel - 10 minutes.
I asked for beer along with a burger, but they brought it 5 minutes earlier.
It looks pretentious, more expensive than it actually costs. The prices are low:
- Dranburger 22 BYN;
- Borscht - 10 BYN.
WiFi from Beltelecom with phone authorization. The speed is 2/2 MBit/s.
Toilet - 1 stall M and 1 W. There are 2 urinals and a toilet stall in the men's room. There is no dryer, there are paper towels.
The music is different jazz, soul, pop and other calm, it sounds quiet.
There are 4 halls, each with 20 seats. Decorated in Pushkin's time, with yellow dim lighting and Pushkin's poems on the walls. The hookah room is decorated in its own way, something like a teahouse.
The name is strange - the apostrophe does not seem to be needed...
Divine, it's divine. There's a new cook here. And it's just crazy or crazy to eat. I've been here a million times, when I came back to town, I went for a snack and expected the normality. But now I'm not just thrilled, but Mega..... This is my restaurant for the whole weekend. I have never seen this in the best restaurants in Moscow. Necessarily Tar. Tuna tar . It is unusual and fresh
We were celebrating a birthday.
What I want to say,the prices of alcohol,,space,,
We took a bottle of good vodka, almost 200 rubles.
The service is not bad, the kitchen is too.
Not everyone can afford this place.
Good location in the heart of the city.VERY tasty food, I especially liked borscht and tubes with condensed milk.There is a strong smell of tobacco in the room.The receptionist is just not hospitable at all)
A cozy place with good live music and good cuisine. The cost of food and alcoholic beverages is quite high, but despite this, it is necessary to book a table in advance on a weekend evening.
We were well met, escorted to the hall, and given a menu. After ordering, the hot dish was brought in 10 minutes. And this is not good! It seems that in the kitchen they quickly warmed up what was cooked yesterday and gave it to the guests. For the level of an institution with a restaurant price tag, this is not acceptable! Still, you want to be fed a really freshly prepared dish. The dishes themselves were on a solid "four". The waiters tried to be attentive.
Great. The prices correspond to the quality and atmosphere. In my opinion, this is the best place in the city.
Cocktails made from high-quality alcohol, the food is delicious.
I was pleasantly pleased with the live vocals. Not too loud, not intrusive and stylish.
My sister's birthday was celebrated quite recently.
The first thing you feel when you come to an institution is a terrible smell of mold (which is not surprising, because the restaurant is in the basement). I think we can do something about it, but the administration does not have either the resources or the desire. Rather, the second option.
We were sitting in the hookah area. In fact, only a hookah and a couple of dishes were served on the table in front of us. We somehow managed to fit four. But it was terribly uncomfortable to sit. The table is low and narrow.
Someone's children were constantly running to us, one of the children even threw a slobbered wooden skewer into my husband's plate. The waitress saw what was happening, but did not react in any way. As an option, I thought that these were our children.
The service is terribly slow. A glass of wine was brought to us for 20-25 minutes. But, to be fair, the girl apologized for the long wait.
The kitchen is excellent. The ribs are incredible, as is the hodgepodge. There is nothing unusual about the medallions. But they're not bad either.
A good hookah.
Vitebsk was pleasantly surprised. I haven't been to this city for a long time, time has been good. I have a very good impression of "Pushkin ...", although I can judge by one visit at lunchtime. It was fast and delicious, the candle burned peacefully, and the Becherovka warmed. The halls were empty, the waitresses were friendly, how the place works in the evening, with proper loading, I will not say. But the desire to go there again arose. Unfortunately, my attempt to implement it was not successful, the attempt to go down the stairs was stopped by the administrator, since the institution opens at 12:00, I showed up at 11... They say Pushkin passed through Vitebsk twice, it is likely that my repeated visit to this place should be divided into longer periods. But, again, the first impression is pleasant. There is a responsible approach to the menu and attention to the service. I'll probably find out how it all works later. While for "Pushkin" A Foursome ... if the administrator were more boastful, offer to wait on the couch, leaf through a volume of "Alexander Sergeevich" after drinking a glass of warm water from the road) there would be a Five! But.... a lot of you are walking around here... She didn't say that, she didn't really care(
But for lunch, thanks! If I have an opportunity, I'll visit...
We came to have dinner on the veranda, although it is winter, but it is warm.
A small disadvantage is that the veranda is closed to smokers, so it smells like hookah, but there are also two halls not for smokers, and the fact that during rush hour you predictably wait a little longer for food to be served.
But the prices are relatively low, delicious food, three people had a good dinner for 1220, a pleasant atmosphere and entourage.
As for me, this is the best restaurant in Vitebsk. The staff of the agency) the music is good, there is live music. The food is very tasty. I've already been 50 times, I'll come again) I don't know the price level, I don't look at them)

An elite establishment at reasonable prices. I was pleasantly surprised. Good cuisine, friendly and unobtrusive staff. I will definitely go there again if I am in Vitebsk.
We came together for brunch. We were informed that there are no draniki. No. It's very strange for an institution. What exactly is missing? Potatoes and grater? Or are pancakes made from semi-finished products? Neither one nor the other is a reason to rate the statement highly. When we were forced to leave the restaurant, they did not say goodbye to us, the menu was abruptly taken away, they did not give any comments on the dissatisfaction with the lack of declared dishes.
Great food. The most delicious place in Vitebsk . The portions are very pleasing . We tried all the cocktails, I would like to have more choice. The staff can guide you through the menu. Live music on weekends.
A great place with excellent cuisine and attentive staff, where you can spend a pleasant evening

A cozy cafe with very good cuisine and pleasant service, light, non-annoying music, pleasant atmosphere. Unfortunately, not all dishes from the menu are present
I tried to book a table while not in Belarus (without having a Belarusian number and the opportunity to call them).
I wrote on Instagram - I was asked to leave a request on the site. I left it, no one contacted me for 2 days. I wrote again on Instagram - I was asked to specify a contact phone number and a messenger in which to contact me. I indicated and wrote to get in touch via WhatsApp. Again, no reaction. And so I wrote on Instagram for the third time, they promised to contact me in the near future. And they wrote, but on Viber)
Terrible service. There is no customer orientation.
For comparison, after I wrote on Instagram of the La Cultura restaurant, they answered me within 15 minutes and we booked a table.
Everything is very beautiful and stylish. The design is thought out to the smallest detail. Pleasant surroundings. The food is delicious, but the yield of the product is very small in relation to the price. The staff is super 🙌
The atmosphere is good, the smoking room is atmospheric, the hookah is excellent, watches the coals, is interested in whether everything is fine. Good service, but I would like it better, there is enough choice in the menu, but I didn't like the "Warm" salad a little, meat, rubber.
The waiting time is fine, we arrived at 7 (Saturday) there was no one in the hall. Clear. The cocktails are not bad.
Great food, polite staff. It's very cozy. Especially the candles on the table... Oh, how romantic it is.
The prices are biting.

We really liked it! The service, food and atmosphere were healthy! We had a great rest! I would like to mention the work of the waiter who served us, unfortunately I didn't remember the name, it was Sunday evening on the terrace-attentive, fast and polite!
I really like the veranda with live music! Listening is a great delight for the soul and ears. You always come to this place and relax from the top of your head to your heels. We love this place: it has become a tradition to visit Vitebsk and spend one of the evenings here.
The staff is very polite and professional, delicate and attentive. The face of the restaurant is always a great-looking hostess.
Excellent dishes and desserts. I highly recommend it to everyone
Pleasant atmosphere. It varies depending on the location. In summer, the veranda with live music was more moving, in winter it was more cozy indoors. Good cuisine and wine list. The only thing is that the staff could be less intrusive, I think there is no special need to come up every 2 minutes and check if everything is fine with us))
