The food is very, very tasty, the portions are decent, the tinctures are strong)) Of the dishes, I especially liked the Skoblyanka. The prices are adequate. I recommend it! Special thanks to the waitress Diana, a sweet, positive girl, does everything clearly and quickly. Only positive emotions.

We came and it turned out that the institution was open from 14.00, perhaps there is a logical explanation for this, but we did not like walking for 15 minutes in the cold. We ordered borscht and brought a pale soup with a strange sour-salty taste. The borscht seemed dubious to the adult women at the next table, too.
The borscht was served with WHITE bread and semi-frozen watery lard.
And we ordered pancakes with chanterelles in a pot - the CRUNCH of DIRT on our teeth has been with us ever since! I understand that chanterelle is a fox fluke and porous. But if they are washed normally piece by piece, and not just rinsed in a basin, then there will be no earth left in them!!!

We ordered a milkshake and ice cream, the juvenile expert said that he had never eaten anything so delicious.
Horseradish is great, a dish of Belarusian cuisine (I forgot which one) too.
The service is perfect, without excessive intrusiveness, but fast and competent.
One of the disadvantages is that you need a phone number for Wi-Fi, some Russian numbers do not come

A nice short rest in the coolness of a hot summer day in Minsk. Delicious beer, fast service. The summer porch attracted more than the cool room in the basement.

First. That no one writes in the reviews.. This is not a cafe.. No one will come in here for coffee..
This is a restaurant-bar/pub.
It is located in the basement, I liked the rough wooden interior, I don't like each other - so everyone has their own place here.
Why the Yankees call it, and everywhere the crane is depicted on the menu, is a mystery.
I didn't like that there was no soap in the toilets. Maybe this is the norm for this institution.
According to the food, the draniki were overcooked / more precisely, all three were burnt. Machanka is delicious. The plate of croutons turned out to be the largest plate of croutons in my life. Beer is ok.
Total: for comparison with Cornflowers, which are 30 meters away.
The price is about the same.
In Cornflowers, the food tastes better / looks better, but there are many times more people and noisier.
It's good for Yankees to gather with friends for vodka or beer.

It's a great place. It's very tasty, the prices are average, like in a cornflower. The service is on the level. It is possible indoors in the basement, it is possible outdoors under a tent.
I recommend.

A very decent cafe. A pleasant hunting-style interior. Delicious Belarusian dishes. Fast and courteous service. It was daytime, but almost all the tables were occupied. You probably won't get here in the evening and on weekends without an appointment.

I liked everything and it was very tasty. When choosing where to have dinner, we were a little confused by the latest reviews that the cafe had "deteriorated". But in the end everything turned out fine: very tasty pancakes, interesting salads and delicious heather!

Good location, in the city center. I liked the beer, Starka. The food is delicious, the portions are large, the Belarusian cuisine. one drawback is that the waiters work slowly and do not immediately approach the guest.

A chic cafe with excellent local cuisine. I found it by accident, but I did not regret that I tried the delicious dishes. The submission deserves special attention. The dish will be brought to you in a ceramic pot or ceramic dish. The experience is great!

IMHO - the place is overrated. The table was booked in advance. No one met at the entrance, although the room is so small that the entrance can be viewed from any point. Then it turned out that the man at the counter, who had been watching us for about a minute, was both the bartender and the hostess... A table for three is unlikely to accommodate dinner dishes for one, it is so small. A trip to the common areas determined the decision to leave the institution. Which they did. There was no desire to taste the dishes anymore

The price tag is too high
There are many steps - it is difficult to get there with a child with a stroller.
The restaurant is dark - The menu is dark as a result, you can't see what you're ordering
Of the relative advantages, there is a children's menu, on the reverse side there is a coloring book.
I had to ask for pencils to be brought, they brought stubs of pencils that draw very poorly on the menu
Ordered
From the children's menu- dumplings- they look beautiful, purchased, and taste pleasant
Draniki are salty in themselves, Sour Cream corrected the situation
Hearts baked in a pot - OK, the portion is large, but the heart did not flutter
Would you recommend a restaurant? Probably not

We were with a family of 10 people. The atmosphere is cozy, reminiscent of a tavern, the staff is wonderful, smiling, kind and very nimble. The menu was chosen traditional Belarusian: borscht (you'll lick your fingers, but you'll fight for savory lard), shingles with brisket and mushrooms (so that I could cook so delicious), wizards with chops (I didn't even know that such things happen), a rustic frying pan (pork and magic potatoes are tender), dessert ("ahhh we will cook this quickly" These words of the waiter struck me for some reason). Each dish is cooked with love. The feed is fast. The bear on the wall :))) looks strong.
Opening from 15:00
A check for a family of 4 people: 75.3 Br
The preface. We were standing at the Cornflower cafe, in line, they said to wait 20-30 minutes to let us into the cafe and wait 40 minutes for cooking. (But they recommended it to us, so we stood there...we were waiting) Well, it's such a pleasure.... We found a cafe at the Yankee's by location, and the three of us went exploring. We looked at the menu, and in anticipation of the order, my husband went to get the rest. And we did not lose, but on the contrary, we won. After 15 minutes, we started eating. Everyone had a delicious dinner and went for a walk well-fed and satisfied.
I recommend it! 5 stars, conquered in the very heart!!!

We were there 1 time, but we took note of the place because everything is occupied nearby on the avenue, but it's quieter here. There weren't many people, so everything was brought quickly enough, I liked the food, the service was pleasant, the prices were reasonable. I recommend the place.

A very strange policy of the "restaurant".
The first day we had dinner at the restaurant next door, then we decided to change course and came here. The waiter advised borscht and I asked for ONE GARLIC, not the head, but one clove to the borscht, to which it was said that they would give it if they counted it as horseradish (and this is almost 100 rubles for Russian money), for one clove)) provided that we were going to take a lot of tasting dishes for the sake of. After this delightful pettiness, we got up and went back to the same place where we had dinner the first day and there we were happily handed a clove of garlic for borscht, and treated with blood even after our impressions of you. We plan to bring these comrades a head of onion and garlic tomorrow, so that they will not be ashamed if someone asks for a garlic clove or a quarter of an onion for borscht.
"Prosperity" to you.

The kitchen is good.The portions are large, the service is fast.Only the musical accompaniment does not correspond to the sign "National cuisine".Western music spoils the impression of national dishes and surroundings.

There is no organization in the establishment, if you want to eat here more than an hour before closing, you will encounter the fact that three waiters will give you different information. At first they will say that there are no hot dishes, but everything else can be ordered. And after 5 minutes you will find out that in fact you can only order cold snacks. When asked why they couldn't even cook a salad for us, they said that the kitchen closes in half an hour, but they are so heavily loaded that they will not be able to cook absolutely anything. When asked how this could be if another waiter gave us different information, they said that we were simply deceived. An interesting organization is at a place where the waiters deceive you, and the kitchen refuses to work with a completely empty hall and a barely loaded veranda

We wanted to have dinner before leaving for another city, we arrived at 21:50, and closing at 23:00.
The waitress said that you can only order salads and cold appetizers, we sat down at a table, spending time, which was not enough. The next waiter said the same thing.
After 3 minutes, another waiter came up and said that they could only cook cold snacks (cheese plate, fish slices, etc. - you won't get enough, in general), and also that their kitchen was working for another half hour and they were sooo loaded (there were 20-30 people in the cafe, many of whom were finishing their meal) :)
In response to my "and they just told us that we can order salads", he said "well, you were deceived, come back tomorrow", and tomorrow we won't be here anymore)
a miracle, not a service :)

It is a very affordable place both for prices and visitors.
The food is not bad, but some positions are clearly weak, despite the orientation of the kitchen.
You can come in for lunch, but the place belongs to the category of mediocre

Atmospheric interior. The waiters are nimble and polite. Good cuisine. I especially liked the wizards. Belarusian beer is of very decent quality. Tinctures are not bad. Prices are not biting for the center of Minsk. In general, if you want to taste good Belarusian cuisine, then I heartily recommend visiting this place.

We went specifically to this cafe, after reading the recommendations. I didn't like it: there are tables on the street, it's impossible to sit if it's hot, you go into the room, it's so dark that you can break your head, you go in and don't see anything, and the kitchen is not tasty. National cuisine, you should be able to- fried pancakes, oil drains, for some reason Caesar's son also had a lot of oil, the waiter asked me three times, I honestly don't pay attention to it, but here we were in the city, it was very hot, I wanted to sit down in the cold and enjoy - it didn't work out

A cozy cafe. Very tasty food at very low prices, and even in the city center!!! The staff is very cool. Attentive. Polite. He tries to fulfill all the wishes of the client. It is very convenient that the large hall for corporate parties and events is separated from the common room. This allows you to comfortably communicate with friends.

The restaurant is located in the center. The menu is varied, there are many dishes of national Belarusian cuisine. The service is polite, the dishes are not taken out very quickly. The restaurant is located in the basement, the rooms are dark, there is not enough lighting. They took pancakes and koloboks, they turned out to be too fat.

The food is a bit greasy, for an amateur, but generally delicious. Kvass is extremely good. Atmospheric.
BUT. When the hall is filled by a quarter (with visitors), it takes a very long time to prepare dishes. We waited forty minutes, and then asked for a complaint book. The staff immediately began to argue with us, claiming that hot food is served everywhere within an hour (we were not warned about this when we made the order). As a result, the book was never provided, because we were in a hurry, we did not insist, we write a review here.

The service in the restaurant leaves much to be desired.
50% of the declared menu was missing from the restaurant.
The dumplings served to us were boiled. As the children who were with us noticed, the meat jumped out of the dumplings.
The draniki were not impressed.
The only delicious dish was the fish cut.
The tongue was wonderfully cooked, but the side dish (boiled vegetables) was pumped up, which was clearly not in the topic.

On August 22, 2024, we visited this institution. After visiting, the question arises: why are there not as many people in the cafe "Yankee" as in other establishments of national cuisine? The service is respectable, the cuisine is wonderful, the atmosphere is cool. Large portions and reasonable prices. Delicious liqueurs! I recommend you to visit

We came from Moscow to Belarus for the NG holidays. I found the top 10 places where you can eat in Minsk on the Internet and the restaurant "Yankee's" was one of them. We decided to come here for dinner.
Positive: It was delicious for me. I ordered chicken breast with cheese and mushrooms. I threw away the cheese cap, but the breast was delicious. Only very thin. The pancakes are greasy, but delicious.
The young man did not like it, he ordered pork (steak). I haven't tried it, I can't add anything from myself. But I liked his borscht, rich and with pieces of meat.
Cons: the place is not cozy, it resembles some kind of pub. The morse was brought cold, it was not very pleasant to drink. I didn't like the dishes. They bring only one device for each, i.e. if I ate the pancakes and they bring me the breast, I need to have time to pick up the fork and knife before they are taken away and eat dirty. Long service time.
I'm not going back there a second time.
