Fast and delicious. Very good service. There is a "quick serve" lunch menu and a "regular" menu, the dishes are ready pretty quickly too. A pleasant atmosphere, quiet, cozy and at the same time quite spacious, a view of the side of the hill with the wall of the Old Castle and the fire tower museum. There is a terrace. At the end, a photo was added - a view of the restaurant and terrace from the neighboring hill - from the Borisoglebskaya Kolozhskaya Church.

Of all the restaurants in Grodno that we visited, Bakst turned out to be the only one that we returned to on purpose. The place is very pleasant - a pleasant and cozy interior, good service. The food is interesting, with a beautiful presentation - we were not disappointed in any of the ordered dishes. Drinks are worth noting separately - Bakst serves memorable author's cocktails and very tasty spicy coffee.
Overall, it is a very good place to sit and relax.

Of all the establishments in Grodno that I visited, it was the tastiest here. I got on the lunch menu. And I was impressed)
In general, the restaurant itself is very atmospheric, there are many paintings by Bakst, quotes. I did not get on the terrace, alas, but it is also very pleasant inside. The staff is good. I took off the star for the casing that flew off from the wind to my head, which was not fixed on the window at all. This is a security issue, I hope it will be resolved. It was not pleasant

My daughter and son-in-law came to visit. The question of where to have dinner together did not even arise - undoubtedly at Bakst! Everything is at the highest level. Excellent cuisine. I chose tuna dishes and did not regret it: everything was amazingly cooked and served accordingly. The guests were very satisfied: excellent cuisine; calm atmosphere, conducive to communication. Many thanks to the management, the chef and all the staff. Special thanks to the waiter Victoria Zdanovich, who served our table. I would like to note her professionalism, attentive attitude and smile, which added a kind of zest to the service. Just the pros, everything is fine. Thank you for the warm welcome. Good luck to the management and the whole team.

Bakst stands on the high bank of the Naman River, at the most touristic place. Panoramic windows, a huge veranda - you can just drink tea, the castle itself is not visible behind the trees, but the proximity is felt. In addition to the veranda, there are several other halls, very cunningly located
According to the wall reproductions of Leo Bakst himself
There is a lot of air, few people, the supply is luxurious, expensive.

A very pleasant and colorful place near the castles. The light, bright interior, the courtyard is decorated with posters with reproductions of Bakst's works. Because we only went for coffee with dessert, I can't say anything about the kitchen, but the strudel was on top - a large portion (my husband and I had enough for two), a lot of filling, moderately sweet, but not cloying taste, raspberry sauce harmoniously complemented the dessert.
The service is fast and delicate. We were sitting on a large outdoor terrace overlooking the Old Castle and Kalozha Park.

Beautiful views of the Neman, pleasant interior, courteous staff. But for the restaurant, the main thing is delicious food, and here there are problems: they give away dishes for a long time. Beer and tea were waiting for 20 minutes. The submission queue is not respected. At the same time, tartar and soup were brought. The quiche-loren was liquid in the middle, i.e. undercooked. The waitress shrugged her shoulders at my claims, the dish was not replaced, no compliment was offered from the institution.The chef needs to monitor the quality of the dishes served. Such ' shoals ' are unacceptable.

Thanks to this restaurant, I learned that Leon Bakst is a native of Grodno)
A very pleasant place with a beautiful panoramic view, no worse than Stefan Batory's from his castle.
I really liked the cabbage soup and beef stroganoff pancakes from the business lunch menu.
But the seafood soup from the main menu is weak, a completely mediocre dish, the broth tastes strongly of mussels, tomatoes are not at all confused, there are no shrimp in the soup, only pieces of squid, a small octopus, and two mussels.
The strudel is not bad, but it feels like it was heated in the microwave, and this is absolutely not the case, you need to reheat the pastries in the oven. Then she acquires her former, freshly baked charm.

And the kitchen, of course, is worth praising)
We took two soups, "delicate cappuccino with mushrooms" and "tomato with seafood".
I'll say for the tomato, because I ate it.

We are guests of Grodno, pampered guests who travel a lot around the world and love to eat delicious food. The guide recommended a lot of delicious places and, surprisingly, the most "chic" place in the city upset both with food, service, and attitude to guests.
Today, just walking around, we just went to the Bucks to eat. Without a recommendation or any information about this place. We gathered food for the whole company, tried everything and left this place with an incredibly pleasant aftertaste! The staff is polite, all the dishes are very tasty and interesting. I'm just thrilled! And the check is smaller than the previous sensational places. It's a pity we didn't know about this place before! We highly recommend it to everyone!

Why and for what to come here?
There are no machanka and flasks, bacon and pancakes, wizards and other things from the category "homemade like grandma's" — this is a really fine cuisine restaurant offering author's dishes of immaculately high quality cooking.
The interior corresponding to the name, dim lighting, soft background music, tables placed at a distance — all this, together with the menu, defines the restaurant as an ideal place for a quiet evening with your loved ones. The fact that we had an offer made at the next table (she agreed!) — the best proof of that.
I thank the owners and staff of the restaurant for their efforts, which ensured my delightfully wonderful evening in Grodno.

I had to ask for sugar for tea. But we took our time and the mood was good, so we calmly reacted to this fact. If your time is limited, it is better to specify the time of submission.

Great restaurant. I read some kind of review - that it was served for a long time. We were on Saturday evening, there were a lot of people, a full hall - everything was brought to us within 15-20 minutes. The food quality is excellent, the mushroom soup is wonderful, the duck leg is gorgeous, the beef tartare is excellent, the fondue is like a fondue, good. Liqueurs - they took cranberry , ginger and Raspberry - are also of excellent quality, they do not cause any negative feelings. The latte is wonderful. Such a dinner for two cost $ 40, the prices for such a restaurant and the quality of the food are very acceptable. I support the rating of the institution, I can safely advise you to visit Grodno. P.S. - I whispered to the waitress that it was our wedding anniversary - we organized a candle in the fountain - a trifle, but it's nice for my wife. Thanks!

This is the place for which we are ready to return to Grodno!
It was 19.08, they celebrated my birthday.
The restaurant is located near the Old Castle and the fire tower, a little off the beaten path. And he's beautiful! Very spacious, bright, cozy. A chic interior with Bakst paintings and thematic photographs, you can endlessly look at the details. The photo zone by the fireplace captivated us. There is a large terrace overlooking the Neman River.
Our waitress, Victoria, was very attentive to us. She helped with the selection of dishes and drinks, answered our questions about the dishes and the artist benevolently and with a smile.
The menu is excellent, non-standard, I would say exquisite. And everything is very tasty. They brought me a cake as a gift.
Thank you for the wonderful impressions, if we are still in Grodno, we will definitely come back and advise everyone!

The restaurant upset :(
The holiday was celebrated in May 2024. The food (and this is what is always the main thing in the restaurant) was STALE: yesterday's snacks with a dried loaf and damp profiteroles, yesterday's heated meat, sliced dried and dried. This is unacceptable for a restaurant! If you cook the day before, then this is no longer a restaurant at all. In the restaurant, only the blanks are prepared the day before, but the dishes are not collected in any way.
The seafood was cooked tasteless (rolled in some unpleasant starch). The fish was over-dried. Vegetables on skewers — some were normal, and some were almost raw, the zucchini were white and crunchy… Instead of pieces of pork, they brought some kind of greasy fat (there was almost no meat in these pieces). The sauces tasted like they were poured from Hines store packs. We were not warned that some of the sauces were spicy. The portion size did not match the declared ones. The fruit PLATEAU was a tiny plate. The cheese plate was in fact a cheese saucer, 5 small cubes of each type of cheese... At the same time, there were completely different fruits and plates of food on each table (except for portions), and the fruits were also cut in advance — dried at the cut site. The lettuce leaves in caesar were palm-sized, how should they be eaten in evening dresses? Table knives are blunt. The dishes were placed unevenly on the tables, the guests had to get up and go to the other side of the table to try something else.
We didn't even want to take the leftovers with us, we were afraid of poisoning ourselves.
In general, the organization is a complete mess (previously, somewhere in 2022, this was not the case). In the morning before the event, I had to ask to wash the windows (they were stained and stained). The tablecloths are not ironed (they were ironed, but they remained crumpled). The waiters worked poorly: they had to be asked to remove dirty plates and top up drinks in carafes, the plates were removed on time only at the presidium. I am silent about the fact that in 2022, at a similar event, the waiters themselves poured drinks into the glasses of the guests, this year apparently this function was abolished. One waiter was WITHOUT an apron, wearing A sports T-SHIRT! By the agreed time, the food was not served, the waiters constantly asked whether it was necessary to carry it or not. Tea was not served on some tables when the cake was served, to the reasonable question of the guests when it would be, the waiter replied: "Did you order it?" Despite the fact that it was discussed in advance that tea is served with the cake and topped up without asking if it ends! The cake was cut as if a person was doing it for the first time in his life: someone got thick pieces, and someone got a finger thick. During the preparation of the event, we were persuaded to order a meat plateau for the presidium, they say, it is necessary. As a result, when we asked where it was, they said that we had not ordered... we saw the administrator for only 10 minutes the whole evening, starting at 4 p.m. and ending at 1 a.m. — she just went about her business. When we went outside, we saw all the staff lazily sitting in the sun and looking at the guests, as if it was their vacation, and not ours.
The promised mixer was not provided.
For several months, three people took out our brains due to the fact that our presenter was not from the state register. When they already decided to cancel the reservation, since there was no other way, they immediately found an opportunity - it turns out that it is possible to conclude an agreement with the presenter and with the DJ (we actually did not mind). They sent us a sample of the contract with a terrible dark photo so that we could manually reprint the text of the contract! We've been reprinting it for 2 hours... and what's the result? The contract was never taken from us, the restaurant did not need it!
There are 2 administrators in the restaurant, and they do not synchronize with each other: we discussed some issue with one admin, then we understand from another admin's question that the other is not aware at all. In addition, the administrator incorrectly transmitted information to the director. Then the director calls us, and, for example, persuades us to agree to the contract — and we did not object to this at all, and the administrator transmitted our disagreement from somewhere in the air. I had to run after the admins, pull out the details of cooperation with ticks, no one ever called on any question.
When we wanted to extend the contract (this was also discussed in advance and we said that we would extend it), we were told that the cost of the second hour of the extension would not be 200 rubles, as under the contract, but 250 and only in cash. I had to refuse the extension.
And all this against the background of the fact that all the staff is trying to speak in an "elegant pretentious" way, as if robots communicate with memorized service phrases. And we would like the guys to know what real service and quality are, and what the concept of the restaurant implies.
Those who plan to celebrate the event in Bakst — think a hundred times. All you will get is a really decent level of lemonades, coffee and a view from the windows (if the windows are clean). We are very upset and at the moment we are determined never to come here again and dissuade everyone. If the owners of the establishment want to settle the issue somehow, you can call +375-25-721-90-79.

Even a cucumber and tomato salad! At 16 o'clock they have no vegetables in the restaurant! Or did you just not want to discuss it? Although there are plenty of bored staff in the restaurant. The room is dark, the interior is not impressed. We left hungry. I have a bad impression of the restaurant and Grodno in general.
