At first, due to some negative reviews, we had doubts, so the first question we asked was about the order preparation time. Waiting time (approximately 30 minutes) we were satisfied, and the beer and krambambula brought quickly warmed us up a little in rainy weather. Free wi-fi also reduced the waiting time, and our order arrived 20 minutes later. Pancakes with machanka are beyond praise, and cutlets are how my grandmother can cook! You must agree, because grandma's food is the most delicious! Prices are quite affordable, cozy interior, good service, so 5 out of 5!

We stayed in Polotsk for one night. In the evening, we were looking for a place to have dinner, and we read reviews on Yandex. Despite the mixed reviews about the cafe, we decided to have dinner in Damian. At 8 p.m., 50% of the tables in the cafe were occupied. We thought, based on the reviews, that we would wait a long time for the order, but no. The order arrived quickly enough, first salads, and then hot dishes. We liked everything very much, it was delicious, satisfying and not expensive. The service is normal, the staff is friendly, the atmosphere is quiet and peaceful. A birthday party was being celebrated nearby, but quietly and calmly. I liked the place and the kitchen. If we are still in Polotsk, we will definitely come back to try new dishes of local cuisine.

It's a pretty normal place with normal food and prices, but not a wow restaurant. The Polotsky dranik is not bad, as is the Magic Pot, but my husband was very disappointed with the potatoes with wild mushrooms: there were only chanterelles from wild mushrooms in the dish, and for some reason with a bunch of carrots! Why are there carrots, it would be much tastier without them!! The coffee is so-so, but the cake was delicious) Not all items from the menu are available. In general, a strong average man and not capricious tourists will go)) We were waiting for something more gourmet.. But I liked the interior! Various household items are old and not so old, wooden furniture - and there are very nice paintings by a local artist on the walls, which can be purchased if desired.
