My wife and my cat stayed in Minsk for three days . I really wanted to see the local sights and taste the delicious national cuisine.
On the Internet, we saw a video review of this institution from the submission of a well-known food blogger . Then, without hesitation, we went to this wonderful restaurant.
At the entrance, we were met by a girl with the question "did we book a table?"
We didn't think at all that the place is very popular. And if you show up there without warning , then there may not be any empty seats .
Despite the fact that we did not take this moment into account, the receptionist went to a meeting and found a free table for us and our cat .
We were fed their signature dranburger , warlocks and three types of kvass .
Everything was very tasty. The atmosphere inside the establishment is very cozy. The background is national music and songs , which undoubtedly complements the image . The prices seemed to us a little higher than in other establishments where we had a chance to visit . However, this is quite justified .
I definitely recommend this place to all tourists and just lovers of delicious food.

Well, what can I say? One of the central places where you can eat delicious normal Russian dishes. The service is on top, do not take it away.
Of the cons: tinctures about nothing (compote), prices are high even for such a popular place. The table must be booked strongly in advance

Everything is decent enough, the cuisine, the atmosphere, the very interestingly designed menu - it is very pleasant to just read, you can say, like a book, the dishes and their history are described in great detail. It is a great place to get acquainted with the national cuisine of this region.
Of the disadvantages that I saw: the service is quite high, but the level of difference in approaches to visitors from different waiters was visible to the naked eye, at the next table the waiter set a very high bar for service, our waiter contrasted very strongly against him for the better - although there was no rudeness. It's just like someone was given a Rolls Royce, and we got a BMW for the same price.
Well, the price tag is quite high, although the food is delicious, but not familiar to the ordinary man in the street - since the restaurant has its own bias towards ancient cuisine. Therefore, I think that up to 5 stars do not reach the ideal price / quality ratio. Solid 4+. I definitely recommend it for visiting tourists, not only as a place of food, but also for some kind of cultural enrichment.

Guys, this is fat fat! I've been there 2 times. I ate too much and could barely walk afterwards. I think everything is delicious there! I recommend soups with soups and a meat plate with rich lard and sausages. By the way, lard is the most delicious thing I've tasted in Minsk. The recipe is as follows: take a singed black bread, rub with garlic, lard on top, pop a horseradish bowl, a spoonful of borscht, and eat previously prepared bread. (If you don't salivate after reading it, you're not my friend)

We were in Minsk for 3 days. We looked at popular food places with a national flavor on the Internet. There were a lot of positive reviews about this institution. We stopped for lunch. The impression is depressing. Old shabby interiors, sticky floors in the toilet, it looks like dirt. The dishes and the serving are ordinary, like in a cheap eatery. We won't go a second time for any money.

We expected more after reading the reviews. The menu is decent, the staff is polite. We ordered a salad with beetroot and homemade cheese, beetroot and cheese are excellent, but lettuce leaves with sand, not washed. The hodgepodge is thin, but the borscht was delicious. A duck leg with apples in the duck part can be praised, apples with cherries are very sweet and with a lot of fragments of spices that are put during cooking: cloves, coriander, some other woody inclusions. Apple kvass and assorted liqueurs are excellent.

It's a very advertised place, but I give it 3 stars and that's why.
The place is located in the center, including the tourist one, and the attendance is large.
The hall is somewhat cramped, there is live music: the girl played the piano (beautifully), a very fashionable toilet, the staff is polite, the hostess is well done.
But the dishes themselves... it seems like the national cuisine and the menu is in several languages, but everything is very fatty (in other places it was not so fatty, I know what I'm talking about), and two different dishes had the same sauce (either there is no imagination, or the desire to cook something else).
I'm not sure if I'll come here again, I'll try to look for something new that can surprise.
Do I recommend it - once a tourist will come down to visit, and then if you haven't found another place and are sooo hungry. And so there are other good places.

An incredibly popular place, you will not get there without booking a table.
The center of the Belarusian capital. Exquisite interior! The menu is full of a variety of delicious national dishes. Special attention is paid to blood loss (but it is worth warning - this dish is for an amateur and a "knowledgeable" person). Prices are above average (even in relation to Moscow ones). Pay attention to the "dies" with liqueurs (tinctures).. both men's and women's sets are worthy of attention, in addition, you can buy the one you like with you in the format of a whole bottle!

A wonderful place with amazing cuisine! I don't know where to start my review with the kitchen or tinctures? Let's go from the kitchen, perhaps the best draniki that I tried in Minsk! This combination of taste and texture of the dish is impressive, but sauces and toppings take it to a completely different level, literally to goosebumps! Thanks to the cook for that! As for tinctures: this is great, this is where I tried the crambambula, and it's very tasty, perhaps I recommend tasting sets and not just shots, 30 grams in a set is more pleasant to drink than 50 in a shot. Special thanks for the shitty one! Horseradish is a liquid jelly that warms you from the inside and fills you with a strong taste of horseradish. Summing up: this institution left a warm, pleasant feeling of home cooking, a lot of things reminded the dishes of grandma, mom, drinks reminded grandpa and dad. Thank you for the pleasant emotions of this place!

The place is excellent in terms of cuisine, atmosphere, service. Orders are taken out very cheerfully and without flying, when one guest from the company stayed waiting. Mincemeat, sorcerers, super liqueurs. Teenagers were impressed with apple kvass, for its freshness and a small degree). The prices for hot food are above average, but the taste and appearance of the dishes are 100% worth it. From the nuances. The halls are small, the tables are tight, so happy guests will work with spoons next to you. And only the 1st cubicle for M and W is very small.

The place is tired, the chairs are scary and uncomfortable, the waiting is VERY long, the dishes are unreasonably expensive, the owners have not heard about a reasonable price /quality ratio, the waiter Alexander does not know how to communicate with the guests of the institution.
I will not recommend this restaurant to anyone because of the above points. There are much better establishments in Minsk.
I update the review, taking into account the owner's response:
Now it would be an hour before waiting for dishes, in a half-empty hall to hide behind slow food🤣
We got to your place for a reason, we were acquainted with the menu in advance, 2 stars for food and drinks, delicious, but not worth it, because in restaurants guests receive not only culinary, but also aesthetic pleasure

It did not meet expectations, the cuisine is average, prices are 1.5-2 times higher than in other establishments, the menu is small. It is unclear why there is such a stir around this institution. According to the manager, tables are booked a week in advance).
I add a review after the official response of the institution..... What's the 90s-style answer? Where were you taught manners? There were 7 of us, 5 of them adults, and everyone's impressions of the kitchen are the same. You can have at least 200 dishes, the main thing is to have something to eat......

"Mood: there are dranburgers to go to Belarus"
Definitely the best restaurant we found in the center of Minsk!
Everything we tried is very tasty!
The menu is rich, made from fresh and delicious products!
We tried:
Noble salad - Caesar lovers will like it. The sauce is very tasty and tender.
Beetroot salad with homemade cheese is made from simple products, but you want to eat it over and over again, probably the beetroot is somehow pickled, sweet, pleasant.
Radziwill herring is salty, delicious - as it should be, served with hot potatoes.
Beef tartare is made from mixed meat, you even forget that it is raw - amazing!
Meringue roll is soft and airy, delicious, but not for fans of crunching meringue.
The brushwood is fresh, cooked to order, brought warm, well dried, the oil does not drain, the jam is delicious. If you don't finish, take it with you - the next day is also delicious)
And don't forget to try homemade tinctures!
Well, the cherry of the summer menu is a BURGER!
Burger with beef patty, delicious homemade sauce and amazing dumplings instead of buns!
In addition to delicious food, the restaurant is worth noting a very friendly and friendly team of waiters!
We highly recommend it, we will definitely come back when we arrive in Minsk!
