I didn't understand the rave reviews about this eatery. We went to have dinner with our family... There are greasy stains on the walls. The table had to be wiped independently with the available wet wipes from greasy stains and crumbs left over from previous visitors. Okay, with whom it does not happen, let's move on... We ordered the simplest dishes - 2 dishes with shingles, dumplings and pies with beef cheeks. After about 40 minutes, they bothered to bring our order. The dumplings are hot, straight from the oven. 3 other dishes are COLD, with body temperature (however, when serving, do not forget to inform that everything is very hot). Although this institution is considered the most competent in the preparation of shingles, but the shingles were served to us COLD and already clearly soaked, soaked in fat and without a crispy crust. The ordered teas actually turned out to be sweet-sweet compotes-fruit drinks made from berries and fruits. The last nail was hammered by the waiter, asking if we liked everything? I wish I hadn't asked anything anymore. My friends, when you give 5 stars to this place, then you were just very hungry and glad that you managed to eat at least something. In my inexperienced opinion, this is a natural pigsty. It would be necessary to consider the expediency of granting this institution the right to use the national symbol.
It's incredibly delicious. The best impressions of traditional Belarusian cuisine. There was only not enough Zubrovka on the table (not on the menu), and there was no time to finish, they close at 23
A great place!!Insanely delicious!!Very large portions !!Everything is atmospheric!!The pitch is decent!!We recommend visiting this institution!!

It's very tasty, very good. The waiter is a darling! We came to you from Russia and were very much impressed.We visited you on August 27 at 19:30 at a table for two. Unfortunately, the waiter's name was not remembered, but he was just a fire)
Great place: polite and friendly staff, interesting interior, varied menu. Everything was very tasty. The prices seem justified. I also liked the serving of the dishes. I recommend visiting
Good, delicious national cuisine, but very high workload almost constantly. The average order time is 25 minutes, it is very difficult to get there on weekends
On August 11, 2024, in a restaurant on Independence Street, opposite the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Belarus, there was no water and no coffee in the morning, and the rest of the breakfast items are limited. In this regard, we could not taste the dishes we wanted. In general, a good food restaurant.
I was in Minsk for work for 3 days in early March. During this time, I managed to fall in love with the city and Cornflowers.
Very cool staff: lovely, friendly girls who fully convey the flavor and hospitality of the country.
Belarusian pancakes are something! I ate them every day for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
I also managed to try the tinctures - they are delicious and my head doesn't hurt in the morning.
I will definitely return to Minsk and Cornflowers more than once!
A good establishment, and located in the center of Minsk, very tasty dinners

I liked the children's menu. Not only a separate specially selected food for children, but also beautifully decorated dishes. And they cook very quickly.
My favorite place in Minsk. I highly recommend it to all visitors, without lofty expectations. National cuisine, for a very reasonable price tag. Tinctures are generally 2.5₽. And in general, at the level of other cafes, the prices are more than affordable. The price/quality is excellent.
There are no questions about the kitchen. Everything is delicious.
But the service is at zero. The waitress is unfriendly and inattentive, does not smile, answers questions as if I distract her from important things. It should be noted that there were few people in the institution. You work with clients. Why such universal fatigue at the beginning of the day? Approximately the same service was provided at another point of this establishment.

Excellent restaurant of Belarusian cuisine. Fast, courteous service. Comfortable seating. Pleasant atmosphere. Short waiting time. The kitchen is on top, everything is delicious and of high quality. The shingles are beyond praise!!
Great veranda. I took grapefruit juice, freshly squeezed. Diluted decently. Machanka dish with shingles, I didn't really like it. The waiters are polite.
We went in for breakfast, only a few tables were occupied. The menu was brought to us about 20 minutes later, and then after our request. We sat for another 25 minutes, and they didn't deign to come up to us and take the order. All this time, the waiters were standing in a bunch, chatting, apparently discussing some important business :) By the way, the same waiting guests were sitting next to us… The place is not bad and with delicious food, but teach your staff to show respect to the guests :) PS. we did not have breakfast, we had to go somewhere else.
A great restaurant with folk cuisine. Cozy, delicious, excellent service. Amazingly delicious kvass and craft liqueurs. The prices are absolutely adequate.
The service is just terrible – in 10 minutes, not only did no one pay attention and did not offer a menu, but they did not even remove dirty plates from previous guests...
The child is allergic to milk and eggs – they chose the only dish. The waiter floats in the knowledge of the composition, "it seems to be in the composition," but when asked simply not to add the product, he simply spread his hands. I didn't offer any options, "look at the children's menu." A complete failure
The food is excellent, the portions are large, the service is top-notch, the waiters are smart, the waiting time for the order is 10 minutes, and we waited for rush hour for 30 minutes, but it was worth it, thank you very much
Thank you guys for the excellent cuisine and hospitality! I was in Minsk for the first time and we had a very tasty meal.
I was disappointed with the draniki in Vitebsk, but I really liked the Cornflowers in Minsk! The waiters are nimble and knowledgeable about the menu. I really liked your place, thank you for your hard work! Ginger tincture is average)
Favorite restaurant. Fast service. Friendly staff. A good selection of national cuisine dishes. And the food itself is something. The inner gourmet rejoices, and the outer one almost faints from the taste! This is something! Delicious at home, a masterpiece in the restaurant!
I wish the team to keep the bar! 👏👍
The service is disgusting. We waited for the order for more than an hour. People who came later and ordered more portions were brought orders earlier :) the waiters are louts and ignores. I had to call the admin. Was one drink offered to a company of three people as an apology? Are we supposed to drink it from the same glass?) A frying pan with sausages and pancakes is a greasy mess. Compared to the Moscow time, the establishments are some kind of horror.
A great restaurant. Convenient location and a fairly spacious room. We liked the food, everything was very tasty. Drinks are brought immediately after ordering, a large number of juices, alcoholic beverages, various types of beer, smoothies and cocktails. With an average restaurant occupancy, the waiting time takes an average of ten minutes. Inside there is a very beautiful interior, large tables and comfortable chairs and sofas.
We went to a cafe with children, ordered hot and plus 1 soup, the order was prepared, but this was not the most unpleasant thing, I had to feed my children with my soup so they did not bring anything, after we ate it after 15 minutes the rest of the dishes came, the pancakes with mushrooms did not like at all
I loved this place very much, visited it for more than 7 years for sure, but in the last couple of times I was severely disappointed with the service and sanitary condition... The waiters "did a favor", rarely approached. On the veranda, we moved from the scorching sun to a vacant table with the permission and knowledge of the administrator. The table was not wiped until we asked for it. The serving of dishes was sooo slow, 20-25 minutes for a drink ...? I didn't want to write about it, but in connection with this situation it's worth it. Exactly a year ago at the same time, we were here with a friend, everything was fine, so far... the cockroach didn't come out. I called the administrator, she said that scheduled processing was carried out, so this was the way out... Our dinner was paid for by the institution, an absolutely real cockroach and the correct answer of the institution. But still, after a visit on 27.09.23, which combined forgetfulness to wipe the table, a very long wait for EVERYTHING, and after a reminder that we were tired of waiting for more coldness and lack of apologies from people who provide hospitality... mb I'll go eat the draniki myself (so far it's really successful), but I won't lead the guests, so as not to embarrass myself. The service on this day would be very embarrassing if I came with guests. Belarusians are famous in the world for their attention to cleanliness! And then there's my personal experience with a cockroach gtd back. I'll probably only come back here if I'm in great need. A pity. Convenient and a lot of good memories in the past
We came on vacation and wanted to try the national food, which we actually got in Cornflowers. Pleasant interior, friendly waiters, very tasty food. But you should immediately understand when you come that this is a restaurant, so you should not count on a budget price tag. After all, it's not a dining room, so the level is higher. A cold brew and a bun with cheese filling to it is a favorite and a bomb! We will definitely visit again!
Vaselki is the best restaurant in this country. I cooked the ribs and shingles very tasty, of course they waited a long time, but we were a big company and the restaurant was packed
One of the best restaurants I've been to
There are practically no questions
The atmosphere is pleasant, the staff is excellent
I've been eating there for several years, I've never been upset
A great restaurant. Everything is very tasty. I especially liked the dumplings and kvass. Cozy atmosphere, polite waiters. The atmosphere is homely and warm. We were passing through Minsk, stopped by for lunch. Next time we will definitely stop by and eat again. I recommend it to everyone.
The waiters are great. The kitchen is a failure. Friday, 2:30 p.m. The menu section "potato dishes" – two of the three dishes are not on the menu. Are you out of potatoes?
A set of sausages - one is undercooked, raw minced meat.
There is no ice for drinks.
The order was waited for about forty minutes.
The impression was pulled out by the waiter, who was literally torn to get everywhere and make everyone happy. Special thanks to him for that!
Favorite restaurant of Belarusian cuisine. There are no complaints about the kitchen, everything is always fresh and delicious. The interior is very pleasant and authentic. For me, a huge disadvantage is very loud music. The interlocutor is hard to hear, and she constantly needs to shout over the music. That's why I took off one star.
There are an awful lot of people. There's nothing to breathe. Everyone is sitting on each other's heads. The food is very greasy. It is clearly visible that they are trying to squeeze the most out of the room.
I really liked it. The staff is very polite. Meals and drinks are brought quickly. The hop board is just top!
The menu has changed a bit, but it's not critical
The queues are like going to the bolshoi theater for a premiere. The staff was rude, and standing outside for about 1 hour and 40 minutes wasn't much fun.
