The cafe is located on the observation deck of the National Library. It's a very pleasant, small, but comfortable and delicious place. The main feature of the menu is shingles with a variety of side dishes, the prices are reasonable. Delicious mulled wine, after the observation deck in winter, just in time. I liked everything, thank you.

A wonderful cafe in all respects: cozy and wonderfully decorated, a view from the window, friendly, friendly waiters, quick serving of dishes. We ordered draniki, herring under a fur coat and rustic sausages. The dishes look very appetizing and very tasty. At the same time, the portions are very large...Well, very big ones. For the sake of persuasiveness, I attach a photo. We will definitely recommend it to our loved ones and we will be happy to come in ourselves. Thanks to the staff and great success.

I took the children on an excursion, went to a cafe for desserts, excellent attentive service, delicious and unusual, very cozy, the children did not want to leave. We felt easy and free, like at home, while not interfering with anyone. There is a lot of space. Thank you very much, we will definitely come back.

We were in Belarus for the New Year holidays and came to this cafe after the observation deck.
We ordered a salad, ice cream "as in childhood" and tea. Everything turned out to be incredibly delicious. I have never seen such ice cream and such a large portion anywhere else!😁
I also want to note that the service was great. Everything is very fast, sensitive, and attentive.
P.S. Greetings from Taganrog!)

We went in with a classmate after the observation deck, with whom we have been friends for 57 years. She's from Lugansk. Wonderful cuisine, huge delicious portions, pleasant atmosphere! The young man served with humor, quickly and in a beautiful Belarusian manner, which pleasantly surprised her. I will definitely come here with my husband.

A small cozy cafe under the roof of the National Library. The entrance to the cafe is combined with a viewing platform. You'll have to pay for it. Delicious food, large portions. You can have a drink and a snack;) Thanks to Daniel the waiter for creating a comfortable environment and fast service!

At the end of October, 24 years old spent a week in Minsk. Of course, they couldn't help but visit the National Library. After reading the reviews in advance, we decided that we would definitely go to the Graf cafe, which is located in the library building, on the 22nd floor, one floor below the observation deck. And they didn't regret it! The view of the city is no worse than from the baggage area, perhaps even better. ))) We got a wonderful, polite waiter (Vitaly, if I'm not mistaken), who enveloped us with care and attention. He spoke to us in Belarusian, which is also interesting. )) However, if necessary, I duplicated what was said in Russian without any problems. The menu is small, but everything is fresh and very tasty. While we were in Minsk, we tried draniki in different establishments. Here, perhaps, the most delicious. The service is fast. The atmosphere in the cafe is cozy. On our next visit to Minsk, I think we will definitely visit this institution again. Moreover, we were given a guest card.))

A wonderful cafe. Delicious food, great view from the window. Cozy and atmospheric. Separately, I would like to mention the waiter Daniel, who picked up a table for us (after his colleague left us, distracted by a very important phone call, apparently), recommended dessert, was very courteous and polite.
Overall, the impression of the institution is positive

Interesting view cafe) Tables stand along the windows, which allows you to enjoy the cityscape from a bird's-eye view. Comfortable sofas.. A pleasant friendly waiter, who knows the menu well, helped me decide on the choice of food and drinks) As a result, I had a large portion of pancakes and a scalding delicious mulled wine))) As a bonus, we received a guest card, which gives a discount on admission (because you need to buy a ticket to the observation deck of the National Park. libraries to get into the cafe) and on the menu.

I tried draniki for the first time in this cafe. And it was a pleasant acquaintance. the service is at the highest level, the waiter started talking to us in Belarusian, unfortunately we don't know him, but it was nice)) in the end, we were given several discount cards on a subsequent visit. When we return to Minsk, we will definitely visit again.

If you decide to visit the observation deck of the National Library, then be sure to stop by for lunch /dinner at this cafe. You probably won't find such delicious pancakes not only in Minsk, but in the whole of Belarus. And as a bonus to everything, along with eating, you get an excellent opportunity to admire the beauty of the city through panoramic windows at a height of 22 floors

A good way to combine an observation deck and a trip to a cafe. The cafe itself also offers a beautiful view of Independence Avenue. Comfortable seats, friendly, courteous waiters. I go there for a berry dessert😋There are also very tasty cheesecakes and a lot of types of coffee preparation.

On 27.03 we decided to visit this institution. We paid for the lift at 10 rubles . We arrived at 22:20. We announced that we want to drink coffee. The waiter brought the menu, and we said we'd look at it. The waiter announced that they were open until 22:30. And that means we won't have time to drink coffee. When I asked why until 22:30, if all sources say before 23:00, the waiter replied, "we start gathering at 22:30.
" In my understanding, if you write the opening hours before 23:00, be kind enough to serve customers who came before 23:00. If you are not ready to serve the guests who arrive at 22:20, please write that orders are accepted until 22:20.

We came in after the observation deck, we were lucky, there was an empty table. The service was a little long, all the tables were occupied, two waiters were almost running and did not have time. We waited until they took our order, then our food, then we sat in front of empty plates for 10 minutes, then we waited for coffee and the bill. The bill must be paid at the bar.
The views from the cafe are beautiful. The food is delicious, fresh, the portions are large, the prices are reasonable.

Great cafe. Nice interior, good service, good menu. I've been there four times in a month - twice with a girl and twice with children. It is better to come in the evening - a more beautiful view of the evening city opens up. After the cafe, you can go up to the playground again to get some air after a meal)
The dishes are delicious, simple and large - I, a healthy man, ate a salad with pork.
I tried mulled wine - I didn't go in, but the girl really liked it. I ordered more whiskey for myself and was also pleased)

Like it,
If you walk around the city, go up to the observation deck (then to the cafe)
Prices are reasonable +air conditioning)))
The building itself is a very interesting ratio on my part: stone, glass, metal
Although in the European Union it is considered one of the hundred ugly buildings, I have a different opinion.

Very tasty, and large portions of food. The staff is always polite and friendly. We visit constantly, we are already there as relatives. On your first visit, ask for a guest card and use it to get a discount on paying for access to the observation deck. Because the cafe is located on the territory of the observation deck of the National Library, you have to pay for admission, even if you only go to the cafe. A wonderful panoramic elevator and a view of the city from a height, beautiful both during the day and in the evening. I recommend it!

The extremely negative waiter is Victoria (or Veronica). It was the last day of the trip. This is the first time I've encountered such a service. This person should not work in the service sector. Even when I asked for a suggestion book, the waiter pretended that he didn't understand what I was talking about. They just tried to kick me out of the cafe. I am sure that the place is good because it is located in a place with a large flow of tourists and a landmark place for Minsk residents, but waiters need to be taught how to work in catering and communicate with people.

The most excellent cafe. All dishes are served very quickly, the price is excellent, the staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is gorgeous. The only drawback is not a large selection of dishes and I would like to have more choice of lemonades. We walk with my wife steadily once or twice a month)

A wonderful place to spend time with friends. Almost all the tables are located near the windows. The tables are different, there are for two, there are for large companies (with sofas).
The food is delicious, the portions are decent. The desserts are gorgeous!
The prices are not the lowest, but, in my opinion, they correspond to the content.
An exhibition can be visited on the floor. We were there before the New Year - a great photo zone was organized! Super!

Panoramic beautiful view. Delicious desserts, delicious shingles, special with herring, the fish is very fresh and delicious. The disadvantage of the service was that there were quite a few people and only 1 waiter, slow service - a long wait for the waiter to accept the order, it was strange when dessert was served first and tea a couple of minutes later, it was not logical))) and the waiter's uniform is very short. Overall, the place is good

I came with my wife at 22:30. They said that they were no longer serving, although they were scheduled to work until 23 hours. We just wanted to have tea and dessert, and we would definitely have done it in half an hour. In general, visitors are not expected there, and the student waiter decides whether to earn money for the institution in the evening.

2 Stars for the look, I probably recommend only desserts from the food; the smoked chicken salad is just tin , but I was hungry and ate it. Since only visitors of the site can come here, respectively, and the kitchen is like this, old products (I attach photos of frozen leaves, I no longer began to collect them on a plate), the waiter "brought" an answer from the cook to my remark on the dish: "everything is from under the knife", but the essence of the claim was not that. Draw your own conclusions.
And I recommend it for the great view, the food is not. And it's also funny the terminal is only on the bar , that is , you go yourself with a check and pay , I went with this book with a check - the check flew out of it, in short, it's fun. It 's a pity that the receipt is not 10-15 rubles and why shove this dry sliced baguette everywhere , it 's not only in my photo ; you can't eat it dry hard bread that can scratch the sky 🙈

We read excerpts from books to each other, drank delicious tea and ate sooo delicious desserts. Romantics are through the roof!! The view of Minsk is magnificent. We highly recommend it! Ask for a guest card at the end of the visit, with it a very large discount on subsequent ascents in the panoramic elevator.

A very tasty Belarusian menu with a wonderful view, cooked for 10-15 minutes if there is no excitement. You can go up to the floor above and enjoy the view of Minsk while your dish is being prepared.
The range of dishes is small - mostly pancakes with fish / chicken / meat + vegetables, or sausages with potatoes and vegetables. Very tasty desserts. There is an alcohol card.
But it is worth noting that at the entrance below you need to buy a ticket to the observation deck, otherwise you will not get to the cafe.
It is very interesting to visit this cafe with children, because the ascent to the 23rd floor in the cafe is carried out by an elevator with panoramic windows. My son and I skated 5 times, maybe more!

This cafe has excellent service!
I would like to mention Vladislav, a waiter who knows what he is doing by 101%.
The menu does not cause panic attacks when choosing, everything is concise, simple and delicious 👍🏽
And, of course, the view… The cafe itself is located on the 22nd floor.
After the feast, you can climb to the 23rd floor ( observation deck), where you will have a wonderful view😌
I liked everything, thank you all 😉👍🏽

Nice beautiful cafe, spacious. The windows offer beautiful views, but because of the panoramic glazing it is very hot and stuffy.

A good place for dates and to sit with friends, delicious food , large portions
, polite and friendly staff.But it's a bit boring, in my opinion, such a place should be used to the maximum, arrange various promotions, themed parties, games, etc.And in the interior there is not enough candles at the table, it may not pass through fire safety, but what can you think of in this way)))
