The restaurant "By the Lake" in Brest is a cozy establishment where traditional cuisine, pleasant atmosphere and high—quality service are harmoniously combined. Located in a picturesque location next to the lake, the restaurant offers guests the opportunity to enjoy not only delicious dishes, but also a beautiful view.
The menu offers a wide selection of Slavic and European dishes. We especially recommend paying attention to traditional draniki, branded meat dishes and homemade tinctures. The quality of the products and the serving of the dishes meet high standards.
The interior of the inn is decorated in a classic style with elements of rustic comfort, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere..
The Tavern by the Lake is great for family dinners, business meetings or festive events. The establishment is deservedly popular among locals and tourists due to its consistently high quality of service and cozy atmosphere.
We recommend you to visit anyone who appreciates good cuisine, pleasant atmosphere and attentive service.

A colorful establishment of national cuisine in a pleasant place, a cozy corner of the park by the lake. There are tables outside, there are inside, and there is a stylized space there. The organization is on top. The food is delicious, there are some tinctures, but we were in the afternoon, unfortunately, we didn't try them, but they were served invitingly on neighboring tables. We ate salads, dumplings, draniki - five out of five!! Thank you so much for the delicious lunch and the pleasant atmosphere. Good luck and prosperity!!

It's a very atmospheric and cozy place. It is located next to the lake of lovers in the park of culture and recreation "1st of May". The food is very tasty and relatively inexpensive (an average of 75 BYN for three people). The service is fast even when crowded: the waiting time for complex dishes, on average, does not exceed 15-20 minutes. Friendly and attentive staff, very sincere. All three days that we were in the city, we had lunch only here. I definitely recommend you to visit!

Very cool place, great view, very helpful staff, and the atmosphere is very cozy, beautiful view from the window. Large portions, tasty, and inexpensive, for a set of 7 tinctures, a glass of wine, a meat plate, a mushroom appetizer, cabbage with a large piece of baked meat, shish kebab, draniki, mors, they paid about 4,500 thousand rubles with Russian money. If I'm ever in Brest again, I'll definitely come back! But it's better to book a table in advance.

The service is excellent.
Everything else is bad.
First of all, when we were there, only one type of beer was available from the entire menu - various light Alivaria. There was no bottled water. According to the assurances, the keg is new, but it turned out to be acidic.
Secondly, they call dumplings of a strange shape by sorcerers, there are no pictures in the menu, it is impossible to understand what you order.
Third, the witchers turned out to be sorcerers, but the minced meat inside was with coarsely chopped onions and absolutely not salty.
The only thing I liked were the mushroom pancakes and a plate of bacon and a bread basket.
They brought tea and some cookies as apologies, but at +28 I didn't want to try them at all. I think the reviews on Yandex are too high. Maximum of 4.

Above all praise, honestly! This is the case when everything is perfect in an institution: the atmosphere, the design, the service, and most importantly, the food and drinks. The borscht is delicious, and the draniki are the best I've ever tasted. The tinctures on the tray were placed according to the fortress, for which a separate respect When we arrived at the restaurant, all the seats were occupied and there was a queue, but we waited for a maximum of 7 minutes, everyone was seated very quickly, and most importantly, despite the workload, we were served quickly.

Very, very tasty!!! Good portions. I eat a lot, so the portions are normal for me. They will probably be huge for those with little teeth)
Denis the waiter is extraordinary! Remembers everyone and everything, lively, humorous, polite and tactful. I am delighted with the cuisine and the service. Next time we'll come to Brest - just there, I won't even think about it.
Thank you for the warm welcome!

I had a chance to visit Brest. After long walks, on the recommendation of local residents, we visited this institution. I was generally satisfied.
The cuisine is delicious, the staff is polite, the restaurant is clean and cozy.
The disadvantages of the menu and the description of dishes are only in Belarusian. It is not possible to connect to WiFi without a Belarusian SIM card.
There are no complaints about the kitchen. To the staff too. But there is room for the institution to grow.

A colorful cozy place with wonderful cuisine and excellent service.
However, when visiting on weekends, it is better to book a table in advance. We were served by a sweet young lady, Yana, who told us in detail and suggested the menu. The food and drinks are excellent, the tea and desserts are beyond praise.
A small remark. The administrator, Alexander, was not quite in the mood and had educational conversations with the staff in the hall, it was not very pleasant to listen, and it was awkward for the young ladies.

Oh, how delicious and atmospheric it is here)))
We went according to the recommendation. The kitchen is excellent. Traditional food and drinks, the cooking quality is excellent.
The children and adults were delighted. It's a pity that we couldn't assess the location on the lake directly, because it was a winter evening, but the warm atmosphere compensated for everything.
The price is reasonable for a tourist location.

To say that the restaurant is bombed is an understatement! The atmosphere is very cozy, the view of the lake is gorgeous, but the most important thing is the kitchen. A separate low bow to the chefs. All the dishes that were ordered were prepared with the soul, it is clear that the chefs are professionals in their field. Everything was super, mega, very tasty. As for me, the Michelin star is given to this institution!!! Thank you for a great time at your establishment. Bravo, I definitely recommend it.

Only pleasant memories remained about this place! We stopped here on the recommendation of a taxi driver after visiting Belovezhskaya Pushcha.Authentic atmosphere, very friendly and helpful staff, inviting, delicious snacks, dishes and drinks! Tinctures deserve special attention. We haven't tasted such delicious dishes anywhere during our vacation. A wide range of dishes: lean and meat. And all at a pleasant price!

The inn by the lake is my top and generally my love. The reason is simple - it is a very atmospheric place, with character, but without pathos. There are tables right on the street by the lake - the May sun, the breeze and the smell of the first bloom do their job. The restaurant serves mostly national cuisine, and everything we've tried is very, very tasty. In this restaurant, you feel light, free and fun, just like at home in good company. I definitely recommend the place, I will be happy to come here again. By the way, we waited 30 minutes to board at this restaurant, and after us the queue grew even more. And it's Saturday afternoon, not Friday night. But it's definitely worth it.

Bad. The interior hasn't changed for a long time, but it's interesting in some places, there are a lot of different utensils in the decor. We were at your "festival of chefs". Are you really proud of these dishes? Salad: the serving is interesting, inside there is a treasured salad covered with imitation caviar. You're an organization that specializes in fish, too. And do you have dried mackerel in your salad?Are you serious?Eggplant caviar: the best of the set. Dumplings: a complete failure. One was not fully cooked, one was boiled. The one with the duck is generally a mess inside that doesn't go down your throat. Hotter: is it really just one dranik with a cutlet on top? If you can't make a normal dranik from your existing potatoes, just one, then why add it to the set? Chocolate sausage is normal. Question: what should I drink it with? Would tea ruin your establishment? I understand that 39 rubles is not much, but fewer dishes are better, but better than that. Well done for making a new terrace, but I don't want to come to you anymore.

Fire. Everything is very tasty, excellent service, sincere.... The tinctures are excellent, the draniki are fire. Special thanks to the waiter Denis. We will definitely visit this place again, there were still untried dishes.... It was hard to get up from the table and I didn't want to leave.....

It is a very pleasant and cozy place, in the hall you are accompanied by pleasant Soviet-era music that creates a calm atmosphere. Outside the window you can watch a wonderful landscape in the form of a small pond with an island and ducks. I advise everyone to try beef medallions and kvass, it's very tasty!!! We really enjoyed everything!!!

It's a great place! Located in a park, by a lovely pond, the view from the window is awesome.
The food is delicious! The draniki are the best! :)
The only problem was that the menu was in Belarusian, and I had to interrogate the waiter to translate and explain the national dishes :))

Definitely the best restaurant in Brest, and maybe the whole of Belarus! A cozy interior, a beautiful view of the lake, an elegant menu of local cuisine with very affordable prices, top-of-the-line service! To visit Brest and not visit the Inn by the Lake would be akin to a crime!

Perhaps the only drawbacks are the nondescript appearance of the building and its location in a park.
But when you get inside, you begin to immerse yourself in the national culture and, of course, the cuisine.
The menu is not huge (this is a tavern, not a restaurant), but there is everything you need to make a complete impression - draniki, macaque, meat, fish, soups, desserts and of course your own tinctures and liqueurs, which by the way can be bought to take away in a stylized sealed bottle.
The unobtrusive music of the last century contributes to an even deeper immersion.
The price tag is not shocking.
We've been there twice, and I want to go back and try everything.

I recommend visiting this cozy place in Brest.
And a park, and a pond with tame ducks. The landscape design harmoniously emphasizes - traveler, go to the tavern, relax, taste various goodies from the road to your wallet. And the friendly hosts will feed, water and create a unique aura of your vacation.
We will arrive in Brest for our first lunch at this restaurant!

We stopped at the inn for lunch, there wasn't much time, so we chose a business lunch. Three courses: soup with meatballs, delicious salad of fresh cabbage and a dranik with meat or rice with fish to choose from. It was very fast, satisfying and delicious.
All the staff are polite and friendly. It's not just the theater that starts with a hanger. In the restaurant, the cloakroom staff also greeted us so warmly and saw us off that we definitely wanted to come back. The waiters are also attentive and efficient.
It's a pity that we were passing through and won't be able to go to the Tavern by the lake for a full dinner, although we don't lose hope... If it's in Brest, then we'll definitely look here.

A magnificent inn! The location is a miracle! Both inside and out, everything matches the name. The cuisine is excellent! The prices are reasonable. The service is excellent. There are several halls in the room, and there are many tables under awnings outside. If you want to get there in the evening or on weekends, it is better to book a table in advance.

There are many places worth visiting in Brest. The tavern by the lake is both an attraction and a place where you will be fed with awesome goodies.
The interior of a European tavern. Made with love and scope.
There are outdoor spaces under the roof and indoors. It is comfortable to sit both there and there. Everything is clean and tidy. The order is being monitored.
The range of dishes is large, everything is worth a try.
We took a barbecue of different meats, a set of liqueurs, salted mushrooms, pancakes and a couple of salads. Everything was very, very on the level. Satisfying and delicious.
Katerina served us, conquered us with her beauty, attentiveness and quality of service.
Calm music from the Soviet stage was playing.
Nearby, let me remind you, there is a small lake. You can ride a catamaran or a boat around the island with a huge beautiful spreading willow.
The prices are not too high at all. It turned out to be inexpensive.
It was very tasty. We ate everything, even though we ordered it beyond our physical capabilities)
I highly recommend it.

We were passing through, it was my wife's birthday, and we chose an institution for a festive dinner based on the scenic views from the outside and the rating on Yandex.
We didn't miss out, we booked a table in advance (you need to book in advance if you want a beautiful view, because there are a lot of people who want to). The service is 10/10, the staff is even too attentive, it's already awkward) inside there is a very beautiful interior, probably if they light a fireplace in the center in winter, it's generally incredible.
Pleasant and unobtrusive music is playing.
The food is at the highest level, beautiful dishes and appliances.
In general, if you choose a place to eat deliciously and authentically, then choose this place, just the top.
We came across the waiter Tatiana, we express our gratitude to her and the whole team on 28.05
Be sure to try the honey cake! If you're full, then take it with you - it's perfect.

It's a very atmospheric place. We visited it solely because of its location - by the lake. But we were pleasantly surprised by the delicious food, the view, and the interior. The prices are acceptable - a hot dish of 25-30 rubles. For large companies, you can order a samovar!

It's a great place. Inside there is an interesting interior, a menu for every taste, friendly staff, answered all questions and took into account all wishes. The kitchen is sooo delicious, thanks to the chefs. They took pork ribs - the meat was the softest and moved away from the bone, there was a gorgeous fish ambassador in the pancakes with salmon - it was not too salty, the pancakes themselves were not burnt, without a bitter crust and did not drown in oil, the dessert was magnificent, I had not eaten such a delicious cupcake for a long time. Separately, I want to note that takeaway items are neatly packaged in a package and a craft bag, if there are many packages, they offer a T-shirt for easy transfer. We were satisfied with the establishment, it has the most delicious cuisine and the best service in Brest

We came to Belarus for an atmosphere different from Russia, to see the sights and, of course, appreciate the national cuisine, we visited Litviny and cornflowers in Minsk. So, after visiting this place in Brest, our expectations were finally fulfilled, we tried several dishes, drank a bunch of tinctures, enjoyed the simple, original atmosphere, the waiter was simply excellent and the service itself. The price is cheaper than Minsk and, of course, cheaper than Russia.

The location is in a large pleasant park on the shore of a beautiful lake.
Authentic, national, cozy.
Not the lowest, but also not the highest prices.
Pretty fast service.
A little noisy atmosphere.
Simple furniture.
The usual menu, a good pork kebab, but chicken is just a breast that was prepared in advance and grilled before serving. Well then. Dumplings with cherries are normal. But they obviously come here not so much for the kitchen, but for the atmosphere and color.

A very respectable establishment!🏡 Authentic!Everything is beautifully furnished. There is an air conditioner, which saved you from the intense heat and gave you the opportunity to relax.
The feed is very fast. We all liked the food and it was much better than we had eaten in restaurants before.
The price tag is very democratic! My children and I ate for less than 100 rubles! Without alcohol. We bought it separately both for ourselves and as a gift to friends. They took horseradish and zubrovka.
We took cakes and potatoes to take away. We ate them later and they were great!
We really liked everything about this place. 👍 We got the most pleasure (and visual the same) for reasonable money 💷
I highly recommend you to visit!

This is my old love. The tavern "By the Lake" is a place without which it is already difficult to imagine Brest. It is a very beautiful and atmospheric place, with unusual delicious food, a good location, and wonderful staff. More often I take pictures and admire outside, walking or listening to music nearby, by the lake. But sometimes I look inside. For example, for rabbit pies, pancakes or shish kebab. It's good that Brest has such an Inn!
