My favorite restaurant with a wonderful view of the railway station and the Gates of Minsk. We always come here with friends before we leave: the prices are affordable, the food is very tasty, and the staff is smiling and pleasant.
If you have been to Minsk, but have never been to Cornflowers, then you have not been to Minsk!
An awesome place and views from the panorama to the Gates of Minsk.
Super kitchen, they left happy, like in that cartoon with full bellies like a wolf, now I'll sing
A very beautiful view!
I liked cabbage soup and cold tea, the pancakes are delicious, only the "Yuletide" pancakes for an amateur, I do not recommend it. Pickles are bitter in combination with cottage cheese.
Also, draniki "with baking", bitter sauce or draniki. The waitress accepted our comments, and generally liked the service and food.
The service has become a little worse... At first, they waited a long time for porridge, and then it turned out to be with hair. Of course, they replaced it faster, but something tells me that they just got the hair from there.
Have you been to a cafe serving national Belarusian dishes? Be sure to visit Cornflowers! This is a grid and there are quite a lot of them all over Minsk. I like the cafe in the shopping center next to the chugunachny railway station the most)) panoramic Windows overlooking the beautiful architecture of nearby houses decorated with statues and forming, as it were, a Gateway to the city, cozy, everything is stylized like a folk hut, quite cute🧡 about the kitchen itself- delicious dishes, a varied menu, a lot of liqueurs, prices are certainly not low, the average check in the summer of 2021 went out to my son and me 2000-2500 Russian rubles for two, without alcohol ☺️
Delicious food. That's it.
The time for serving the menu is from 10 minutes 🤦♀️
The waiting time for the order starts from 45 minutes (eggs for breakfast) 🤦♀️
The desire to help the client is below 0. I chose a position where eggs would be served in the form of scrambled eggs (I hate it), but on the plus side there were a lot of nice things (potatoes, sausages, bacon, sauce, cucumbers). I asked to clarify if I could serve these two declared eggs in the form of an omelet, if so, then good, I will be immensely grateful, if not, then I will choose something else. After more than 40 minutes, they bring me a dish with the words "the chefs did not want to cook an omelet." I was just freaking out. If you didn't want to, it's your right. But why the hell did they bring me a dish that I don't want to eat? And I still have to pay for it?! Although it was clearly stipulated that if replacing one egg variant with another is impossible, that is, I will not do it and just choose another position. No, they brought it, put it in front of the fact and don't care 🤷♀️
The order for two cost 70 Belarusian rubles, for our money 2100.
Solyanka, Draniki with salmon, Draniki with mushrooms, chicken schnitzel with boiled potatoes, mojito without alcohol and sea buckthorn tea.
There were empty seats, because it was 11 a.m., there were not many people, the waiter did not come right away. They warn you about the time of cooking hot. They were brought quickly, about 20-30 minutes. But not at the same time. One was eating hot, the other was looking at him and drinking a mojito.
Draniki and schnitzel were brought at the same time.
Tea is above praise.
Now about the dishes. The hodgepodge didn't have enough meat.
The pancakes were fried in rancid oil, so they were bitter.
I hope you will take these errors into account and will not let the network down. I'm not coming here.
Every time we visit Minsk and even Vitebsk, we definitely visit the Cornflowers cafe. I am glad that for 7 years since the first visit, the range of dishes and their quality have not become worse, but only better... And what a great service))) Next time, only in Cornflowers!
Delicious national food. The prices are average. I recommend you to visit Belarus. Draniki with goulash just fell off your head))). Good homemade tinctures and wine.
This restaurant was recommended to us when visiting Minsk. The disappointment is complete. Waiters communicate with dissatisfied faces. We ordered draniki, the waiting time for the dish has not been announced, okay, we are waiting. We decided to ask a question after a while: how much longer to wait? Answer: I have no idea, I will clarify now. After the "clarification", the draniki immediately appeared, cold. Cool, you can't say anything. They asked for an invoice, payment by card. The waiter left a receipt as he passed by and threw it on the move: the terminal will be free, then I will calculate. It feels like they came to his house and made us cook these pancakes. As a result, I went to the administrator and left her a review of their "establishment". We spent an evening in Minsk on this dining room. Very sorry. It is better to go to the Lido restaurant with a mill at the entrance, I was there when I first visited Minsk, I was satisfied. I leave two stars for the interior.
Delicious, portions from the heart) of course we took draniki (with mushrooms, and another portion with a sponge). Another time, salad, zeppelins with meat and croutons with cheese.
Everything is delicious! But croutons with cheese is something incredible 🥰 I award them the first place in the croutons rating, these are not mediocre croutons like everywhere else, this is a work of culinary art 😁😁😁 I recommend everything, and definitely croutons)
I do not advise it extremely, the service is terrible, the pancakes were not brought all together, but one at a time and cooled down, the waiters were absolutely not polite, even to the point that they brought the setting, when they asked where it was, they offered to identify it by smell. The first and last time in this institution
The staff is good, the menu is varied. It is better to take folk cuisine, it is delicious, and the prices are reasonable. It's funny how the drinks are decorated with cornflowers) the atmosphere is in the style of the name, you can sit both inside the restaurant (the air conditioning is good) and on the summer terrace.
A very cozy restaurant! In the national flavor. It's soulful, atmospheric. The dishes are served hot, very tasty! Variety in the menu. I recommend it!!!
The administrator's work is terribly organized during busy hours. The waiter sat him down at an empty table, a minute later the administrator came and informed him that the tables needed to be occupied on a first-come, first-served basis and asked to make room. At the same time, the restaurant has 3 entrances and it is difficult to guess where to take a queue and that it exists
It is impossible to wait for the waiter. 1 Menu was carried for 15 minutes, the other two were kindly provided to us from the next table. Wait hot for 30 minutes, as the waiter announced. In general, they did not order anything and went to another place.
P. S. I do not know why in my response the representative of this institution asked me to write to the mail mentioned below, but there was no response to my letter. Apparently, they work there as well "perfectly" and respond to reviews only for unsubscribing!
Arriving in Minsk in the morning (from St. Petersburg), of course I wanted something local and delicious!!!) And the breakfast was a success)) pleasant atmosphere, staff!! And edaa.. mmm!!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
We will be in Minsk again - we will definitely come!)
A good place for a location close to the train station. It's delicious, there are always a lot of people.

The best draniki. Goulash as one of the accompaniments to them is magnificent, the softest. A mix of mushrooms to them is also wonderful, with a creamy sauce with demiglass to them as a base.
The food is delicious, it was late in the evening, in general everything is fast, the staff is polite. The interior is in a rustic style. It's cute. The location is convenient, near the train station.
In general, everything is good, considering the location and traffic of visitors.
Minus a star for the lack of customer orientation - bacon was added to the chicken dish, which was inappropriate, because the order was made by a Muslim (visually obvious).
The cuisine is delicious, the portions are satisfactory.
The waiters are friendly.
This is not the first time in this institution. Everything is always delicious in principle. But unfortunately, today they brought an absolutely cold grandmother.’ We said that, apologized, and that's okay)
It's been a long time. The waiter forgot about part of the order. Then I had to find a waiter to close the bill. I can't evaluate the food adequately, because the service spoiled the impression.
