A picturesque place. When we ordered the grandmother, we were carefully warned that it would take 50 minutes to prepare. As a result, we decided to take a salad and two types of pancakes. As a result, the salad was brought in about 25 minutes, and we waited for 40 pancakes! Minutes. During this time, I could have cooked from scratch at home. Horror
Cafe of Belarusian cuisine. The staff greets you in national clothes. They explain the composition of the dishes in an accessible way. We managed to visit the cafe the second time, after ordering a table by phone.

When planning a vacation for the May holidays in Belarus, I made a note to go to this cafe as the best delicious institution. When we arrived, the waitress was wiping the tables, we said hello and at that moment the waitress shouted loudly and displeased at us: WE ARE CLOSED FOR SPECIAL SERVICE!!!
I say, so everyone has already left and you are wiping the tables, can you leave us 1 table that has already been cleaned?
Waitress: I'LL BE CLEANING FOR THE WHOLE 40 MINUTES!!! THERE'S A SIGN AT THE ENTRANCE!!! WHY DID YOU COME IN???
I went outside to find this sign and among all the ads I saw a piece of paper glued to the inside of the door with an inscription in Belarusian, where I did not understand a word.
We left and do not recommend visiting this place with an inadequate waitress who could not explain in a normal tone and left a residue behind.
We immediately found the Kaza restaurant with a beautiful interior and delicious food and highly recommend it.
Many thanks to Igor and the chef for the hot, homemade cuisine, good service on any day. We have been to the cafe several times and we will be happy to come!!We were satisfied with the service and the cuisine! Come, you won't regret it! They are waiting for you here and will be glad to see you!
A good cafe, you can taste Belarusian cuisine for an acceptable price, we ate draniki with meat. The menu is in Belarusian, but the waitress explains everything in detail. Wait for the dish for 15-20 minutes
The food is generally delicious and inexpensive. We took pancakes with pieces of pork in sour cream sauce, as well as pancakes with pork filling. The pancakes themselves are quite fatty, not counting pork. The waitress is alone in the whole room, she also takes orders, pays, cleans tables. People are sitting, families are coming. It's okay to come in for a meal in the evening. In general, the price is consistent.
It's delicious, the waiter is alone for all the cafes, does not keep up with everyone, and the order was carried out for a very long time, tk (explained that there are a lot of orders) We were in the summer during the tourist season. Linen tablecloths on the tables, clean.
Catering is not far from the scoop. The advantages are relatively inexpensive. The minus is poorly consistent with the national cuisine. In principle, you can visit, but you should not wait for frills. The staff of the campaign is still from those times. It is quite possible to eat, but "have a good time" in my opinion is not worth counting on..
Yes, the place is colorful of course,
Stretch cheap ceiling, plastic walls, a very big question about fire safety.
Russian Russian menu: it is not clear, one brings another in the picture, in Belarusian it is not clear to a Russian person at all, every second Russian comes in. The portions are small.
The food is not delicious!! There are only carrots and beans in the flasks, which should not be in such quantity. The burnt taste is still felt.
Locals don't come here from the word at ALL.
I didn't like it very much
There are the best draniki on this vacation in Belarus! The national flavor is wonderful, polite and courteous waiter. Pancakes with fish are wonderful. I also recommend horseradish and cucumbers with honey.
For those who want to try Belarusian cuisine in a cafe with an appropriate setting, this place can be safely recommended. They welcome you cordially, they will prompt you with dishes
I sit, eat, write a review. So far, everything is decent. The food is delicious, the drink is always delicious. Minus a star - for a menu without Russian. Everything is clear without translation, but... Eng. there is. Rus. no.

Maybe we were unlucky with the kitchen on a particular day. But the food was definitely on the top three, the pancakes were not at all tasty (photo attached). It feels like it's not cooked in the restoration6, but at home, and clumsily. There are very few places in the restaurant, only a few tables, people who wanted to eat often came in, but they were turned around, because two waiters could hardly cope. We took two different dishes, and both for three. We have something to compare it with, we tried draniki in another restaurant in Minsk, and it doesn't even compare.
It seems that the previous positive reviews about this eatery were written by "brothers-in-law" at the request of the owners of the establishment.
It is absolutely not clear what a normal person might like here.
I'll start in order:
1. Bank cards are not accepted for payment. I have to run around looking for an ATM.
2. The menu is only in Belarusian and English. In principle, it is possible to figure it out, but it takes a considerable amount of time.
3. On Saturday evening, half of the strong alcohol from the menu was available. Moreover, they reported this 15 minutes after the order. In return, the waiter did not offer any alternative with which to replace the missing drinks.
3. The food is simply disgusting!
- assorted "Babkin's pickles" consists of a plate with a diameter of 13 centimeters, on which there are dull and withered pickles: Korean carrots, 10 circles of very thinly sliced pickled cucumber and 4 slices of mushroom of unknown origin. All this "joy" costs 10 bel. rubles.
- a separate story deserves "The Belarusian roast with turds". This dish consists of 5 pancakes, on which there is pork cut into cubes with sauce, in the manner of beef stroganoff.
So the meat and sauce are just wildly over-salted. Either this dish was prepared by a second-year student who was expelled from the culinary vocational school for failing, or the meat was so not fresh that they decided to disguise it with salt.
3. There are no toothpicks on the tables!!!
To my question where to get a toothpick, the waiter shyly took out a greasy jar from under the bar, in which three or four toothpicks dangled forlornly.
If this eatery saves even on penny toothpicks, is it necessary to talk about the freshness of the products, the quality of the dishes and the rest of the service???
My advice is, if you don't want to be disappointed, you'd better look for another place.
We regretted coming in. There is no menu in Russian. I had to use English, it's inconvenient. despite the fact that there is no Russian on the menu, but the music is Russian pop. This is strange. It's not cheap. The kitchen, well... In general, we will not go in a second time.
A wonderful restaurant of Belarusian cuisine. The interior is in a national style, the dishes are very tasty, large portions, local horseradish is good! Friendly and attentive staff. The restaurant, as well as the whole of Belarus, left a wonderful impression!
02.01.2023 - When asked how long to wait in time, at least it's amazing, they answered that they would cook and bring it, it was cold in the restaurant, the waiter said that now breathe and it will be warmer, the bacon was brought frozen!!! The morichek salad is also frozen!!!! The service is, to put it mildly, three out of ten.... Tinctures are rubbish, we really do not recommend it....
The menu is oversaturated and unreadable , even the images of dishes do not save . Everything looks interesting at the entrance, but it's worth holding your gaze... and the hack and the lack of style and taste in the design become visible. The kitchen is satisfactory for 4 with a minus, if you do not take into account the cost... and the cost does not give indulgences to taste . But the main disadvantage is the service : it is indicated that they accept cashless payments , but not this time( . As a result: search for an ATM in an unfamiliar city , and then a load of non-convertible currency in the form of change . Complete anti-tourism
We tried to get in for two days, on the first day we went in without an appointment - there was a banquet (sometimes we took it for granted) we decided to book a table for the next day - no one called back and no confirmation came!!!! I called myself- a rude woman began to claim that we had already been refused, although there was no dialogue with any employee of this institution. And after that call, five minutes later, an SMS response was received to the submitted reservation request - with a refusal!!!! The atmosphere bribed me)))) at the entrance, everything is in the style of folk Belarus and a man may be a waiter walking around the hall in a folk shirt, but it did not work out that way to get pleasure from the kitchen. The service is zero-there is on the Internet, but they are not friends with the Internet (
More recently,
we visited this cafe in order to eat national cuisine. To say that we are satisfied is to say nothing. Very colorful place, everything is very tasty. The portions are large. Thanks to Igor for the excellent service. They brought everything quickly, although they said to wait about an hour. The locals all recommended this cafe. We will be in Brest, we will come again.

January, 2025. They were greeted unkindly. The look was like, "Why are you here?" It's very cold in the hall. They wanted a table behind a screen. They asked, and they answered very rudely. Whether the order is ready for a long time. They brought one dish at a time, i.e. one had to eat, otherwise it would get cold, the others were watching. The food quality is within the average range. Expensive.
I'm hesitating between a three and a four. If it were not for the claims to a super-place, there would be a solid four. The interior, the menu is only on the move, the waiter in an embroidered shirt - but somehow "we have an electric samovar and we ourselves are not sincere" (c) I know what delicious Belarusian food is) here it is rather quite usual, Eastern European cuisine, only mushrooms are salted in a plate of pickles, the rest is pickled and (suddenly!) in Korean))
Horseradish and potatoes with chanterelles are really good)
They did not order Belarusian pizza)
The place is atmospheric. Belarusian dishes are cooked well. Of the disadvantages, you wait a very long time for cooking. They brought a boiling saucepan and had to wait for it to cool down at least a little so that they could eat. Mackerel fish was cooked for 3 and the side dish was a Mexican mixture from a package. My husband didn't like this dish, I don't recommend it. The waiter is alone in the hall, when they came in, he came up after 15 minutes and apologized, saying I'm alone here. I put four only because of my love for Belarus. But I won't come to this cafe anymore.
We decided to go in for a snack, it started with the fact that the lady answered the question "where can I wash my hands" rather sharply and in a boorish manner, "we were passing by", threw the menu on the table we chose, turned around and left.
Russian Russian is NOT on the menu - only Belarusian and English, When asked by the administrator to give the menu in Russian, she replied "aside": "there is no other". And she turned around and left again..
I did not quite understand what kind of attitude towards guests in a service establishment…
I decided not to spoil my mood further and went hungry.
I do not recommend this institution, if the staff allows themselves to behave like this, well ... then it is not worth wasting time on such an institution…
Excellent national cuisine! Low prices are both a plus and a minus (sometimes bad companies gather!) The waiters work fast, but they are not very communicative!
An interesting institution, I came here specially after visiting the Brest Fortress, but there was a banquet and they even allowed me to sit at a couple of free tables, but I decided that it would be inconvenient for both the banquet guests and us. The staff is friendly and welcoming. I liked the atmosphere. I'll tell you about the food and tinctures next time I look in.
A good place to explore Belarusian cuisine is dzeruny, babka, etc. A large selection of national alcohol. The design of the hall is homely.

3 stars only for the interior.The place is decorated in a national style.That's where the advantages end.We ordered draniki in two different versions.One portion was brought in about 10 minutes, and the second was waited for half an hour.There is only the smell of potatoes in the pancakes, the rest of the dough.Some are freshly roasted, and some are warmed up (cold inside).They asked for 1 liter of compote, but said that it was only possible in glasses.Although they brought it to the next table in a jug.Change the cook and you will be happy.
