Impression of the cafe:
A great cafe with insanely delicious dishes and prices acceptable for a place with a similar level of service.
Advantages:
✅️ Accessibility. It is located in the city center, it takes about 15 minutes to walk to the nearest metro station.
✅️ Price / quality ratio. The portions are decent, and everything is unrealistically delicious!
✅️ Service. They serve you quickly enough, even if there is almost a full boarding in the hall. The average waiting time for hot dishes is 15/20 minutes.
It is possible to put something in a container with you that you will not finish, the portions are decent.
Overall rating: 95/100 — a slightly inconvenient approach to the restaurant (basement).
The rating in stars is 5+ :)

We visited the Yankee Cafe with a company of 6 people, we were satisfied with the visit. A large selection of dishes, especially surprised by the presence of a children's menu. The portions are very large, in my opinion, even too much, while the price is very low. All the dishes are delicious, a good balance of spices and salt, the serving is simple but beautiful.
Atmosphere: dim lights, wooden furniture, animal skins on the walls.
The staff is friendly, the serving of all dishes and drinks turned out to be super fast, well done!
Pencils were brought to the child, for this a separate plus sign. The dumplings ordered for the child turned out to be purchased, but I wanted homemade ones) only here there was a discrepancy with expectations.
When paying by check, they gave a discount to the birthday boy.
Recommend 👍

A very tasty cafe, there is a summer veranda, everything is very tasty, satisfying, and, as for me, it is budget-friendly (about 20 rubles per dish), the waiter with an earring in his nose smartly builds communication with the guest, I was very upset that I did not have time to change money for Belarusian to leave a tip. I definitely recommend this cafe for lunch or dinner. Casserole and machanka with pancakes are just thieves of hearts.

A very cool place, cozy, in the basement, a very cool kitchen, the chefs are just beautiful - they cooked very quickly considering the full landing, the waiter is a smart girl, although she mixed up the vegetable salad for us, but we were even happy about it, but I liked the fact that she was ready to change it right away. The dumplings are cool -the child was happy, the frying pan with meat and potatoes is gorgeous, the ribs are just a dump of the head, and a few more dishes and drinks, thank you -now as soon as we are in Minsk we will always come to you for a light. Greetings from Yaroslavl!

Everything is perfect: taste; price; speed of service and location.One day there was no non-alcoholic beer, but there was a great kvass.There is a pilot .The portions are large, the waiters are pleasant, dexterous and do everything very quickly, they returned three times in five days.I think this is significant!)I still remember the half-eaten skoblyanka and herring.I needed to finish eating, but I almost burst.The pans and lard are just God 's .We definitely recommend it.

The Yankee Cafe is one of the most cozy and wonderful places in Minsk. If you want to really eat delicious Belarusian homemade cuisine, then you are here! We have not tried such Pancakes anywhere else. Very tasty Mochanka with draniki, under the national moonshine- pervogon. The attitude of the waiters is fascinating. Many thanks to Pavel for his wonderful service! See you next time!

An interesting place in the heart of Minsk. Despite the basement location, it is very cozy and atmospheric here.
Dishes of traditional Belarusian cuisine are accompanied by patches of their own production of good quality.
The waitress girl (unfortunately, I didn't find out her name) was on top. I brought everything accurately and relatively quickly, despite the very high workload.
In general, if you want to move away from visiting other traditional restaurants, of which there are many in the center, I highly recommend visiting the Yankees!

Delicious and reasonable prices. I tried salmon with baked potatoes with spinach sauce. It's very appetizing.
There is an interesting interior inside, it is quite cozy. The only small disadvantage, but it does not affect the assessment: in summer, when it is hot and stuffy, you want to sit outside. And there is an outdoor terrace with tables. Some of the tables under the umbrellas were occupied. There were also empty tables, but for some reason the umbrellas above them were closed. And we were told that they would not open them. Because of this, it was not possible to sit outside. Still, it is not very comfortable to be under the hot sun, especially if precipitation falls. It is not very clear what prevented the umbrellas from being opened on another part of the terrace. But this is a small thing.

The portions are of excellent size, just in time for dinner after long hiking trips. The menu is extensive, the waiters help with the selection, if you ask, everything is very tasty.
The interior is pleasant. We were a company of four people, later a fifth came up, we had no problems changing the table to a bigger one.
Everything is wonderful, we'll come back on occasion.

Lunch for two with good portions of the first and second cost 2.5 t rubles. RF. we will definitely visit this place again, I recommend it.

A standard cafe. The menu is also quite standard for such establishments. There are national dishes, but they are very simplified and adapted for quick cooking. And in fact they fit on one menu sheet. Everything else is mass market/consumer. If you want "like grandma's", it's definitely not here.
The staff is very pleasant and courteous. It is clear that they are trying. That's a plus.

On February 26, 2024, my husband and I visited this wonderful cafe.
Absolutely amazing place!
We were delighted. The interior is cozy and stylish, creating the perfect atmosphere for a romantic dinner or a meeting with friends, a family dinner.
The staff was attentive and friendly. I would especially like to mention the waiter Pavel, who professionally orients himself into me, suggested me in the choice of dishes.Really delicious cuisine. I was pleased with the variety of the menu.
Oh, this kitchen... it's just great! All the dishes were fresh and delicious.
Respect to the chefs.
The perfect combination of price and quality.
You can write a lot of reasons to visit a cafe, but it's better to visit and experience this wonderful atmosphere for yourself. We will definitely come back here more than once! We recommend it, you won't regret it.

A great place in the city center! Very tasty cuisine at a great price! We sat with our spouse for a long time, ate hot food, tasted liqueurs, drank tea, coffee and dessert. The tables were never empty, as soon as someone leaves, new customers immediately come. A lot of tables were already booked. I definitely recommend this place to visit, especially for tourists.

You know, we got here by chance, according to a banner, next to the cafe "Cornflowers" (there was a queue at the entrance). We were looking for traditional cuisine and found it here.
The food is very tasty, there are almost always places in the cafe, the waiters are pleasant and efficient, the check is average, even probably a little lower than the competitors, the atmosphere is cozy, they cook quickly. We had a wonderful time. I recommend it to those who are looking for peace and tranquility in this world. Of the cons, probably not a rich selection of beer.

About food: very large portions of Belarusian cuisine for a reasonable price. This is an undoubted advantage of this institution. The food is delicious. From the unusual: here you can try the testicles of a bull in a pot.
The service is friendly. All the dishes were brought quickly, but I waited for dessert for a very long time. The staff is polite and courteous. I was sitting on the terrace, so the atmosphere was very cozy for me. It was cool and I was offered a warm blanket. It was very pleasant. I recommend visiting connoisseurs of Belarusian cuisine.

We booked a table for the anniversary a couple of months in advance. Birthday boys get a 20% discount. Everything went great, thanks to the cafe staff for a good time. Convenient location. They don't smoke in the cafe, which is also a big plus.

A very good place to visit, the soups are amazing, I really liked it. There are birthday discounts, although in many places this feature is missing. The minus star is only because draniki is not our dish, we ordered everything and did not enjoy it, but it's not the place to blame, as well as I did not like the beer, but then again I learned from not knowing the local)

If it would be possible to put 10 points, then I would. An amazing, beautiful, gorgeous place. Our acquaintance with Minsk began with him and our vacation ended with him. Excellent value for money. The portions are huge. The atmosphere is very inviting. Many thanks to the waiters Diana and Ivan. They were very polite, helped to decide on the menu, shared their wonderful mood, which definitely disposes to return to this place.

A good institution, visited in July 2024 by a company of 5 men. The kitchen is a solid five, the waiter service is also good. The only disadvantage is the size of the table and seats (despite the fact that we made reservations in advance, a week before the visit, the five of us were seated at a small table in a corner, which did not even really fit the dishes we ordered, let alone feel comfortable at such a table. The overall rating of the institution is "Good".

Prices are plus or minus in the market of all other cafes in Belarus. In general, it is available. Not bad, the food is good in quality, the meat is in sufficient quantity. It's a little bland cooked, for my taste, but it's at the discretion of the chef.

Exceeds all expectations. Behind the inconspicuous facade of a basement cafe with traditional Belarusian cuisine, there is a sincere institution with high-quality food and friendly staff. I'm sure this place hides a lot of secrets... The history of the kakbe building... he hints to us about this.
Book your seats in advance. It may happen that the hall will be empty, but all the tables are booked.

We chose this place in order to comfortably spend a birthday in a pleasant atmosphere, we were very disappointed.
Disgusting service, very
long serving of food and drinks, a very
dark room with almost zero lighting, several dishes had to be returned to the kitchen due to the fact that they were burnt, after which they had to wait about 40 minutes for their replacement. The prices do not correspond to the quality of the food and even more so to the service, on the birthday there was a discount on the entire menu, since no other conditions were specified anywhere, which we learned only when we asked for the bill.
If you want to try
the local cuisine and enjoy the evening,
choose another place, not this
place.

The national dishes are very tasty. I am pleasantly delighted with the portions of dishes.
We ordered pancakes with brisket, a skewer, a rustic frying pan
The waiter is very polite and friendly. The guy's doing great.
I advise everyone that the cost and quality match

A competent menu, not a very large selection of dishes, which is correct. There is everything: vegetables, meat, poultry, fish, desserts.
Fast serving, large portions.
Of the cons: I got a waiter who does not know the composition of the dishes.
I mixed up the ordered salad (ordered with fish, brought with bacon, while, of course, I did not forget to include it in the bill)
We ordered a hot meat platter (pork, chicken, beef) - all chops are like a sole. Dry, not tasty.
The first is a hodgepodge. Strangely, it was with sauerkraut, lemon, olives... A strange set.
In general, they went according to reviews, with a great desire to visit a wonderful place, and left with a desire not to return.

We were going to Cornflowers, but there was a queue of 100 five hundred people, we decided to look for something else with national cuisine and came across "Yankee." The atmosphere is pleasant, the place is in demand, a lot of tables were booked. The food is very tasty!!! We ordered pork steak, rustic potatoes, pancakes with mushrooms and bacon-very satisfying, a decent portion size. And of course beer :) I recommend this place!!!
