I recently visited the Upper Castle cafe and was absolutely delighted. Incredibly delicious pork steaks are served here, which are cooked to perfect tenderness and juiciness. It is also worth noting the grilled mozzarella cheese — it simply melts in your mouth and perfectly complements any dish. Special attention is drawn to the draniki, which are not made from semi-finished products here, but are prepared on site, which gives them an incredible taste and texture. The atmosphere in the cafe is very cozy, and the service is top-notch. The Upper Castle is a great place for lovers of good food!

This place is about inspiration and a reminder of origins and identity. Now let me explain what I mean. Polotsk already has its own atmosphere in the area of the old buildings and St. Sophia Cathedral. But there were also stars with a dinner with such authentic cuisine, which I always look for when traveling... I have rarely seen dumplings in different types on the menu! Many dishes are served in pots, with fervor from the heat. Borscht was more like cabbage soup, but it doesn't matter!) How satisfying and at the same time simple it was, just like cooking from the stove in the village as a child! The interior is wood-brushed, it seemed to me that this was what the church in Polotsk looked like during its heyday, and the kitchen was the same, perhaps ... The wait for dishes was not long, the prices were very affordable! We will definitely stop by again! And yes, upon arrival home, there was a desire to cook more of our traditional dishes, I was so inspired...

In general, I liked the cafe, the dishes of national cuisine, the interior was very good, the cafe was small but cozy, the draniki were very tasty, the cons were that the dishes in the steamer and pots were too greasy, everything was floating in oil and the girl at the checkout was constantly talking on the phone, she forgot about the bread, I had to remind her.
