The location is great, the center of Minsk in every meaning. In principle, it is cozy, the interior is authentic with an old fashioned Belarusian style of house like "hata". The dishes are tasty and simple: potato pancakes, goulash, cutlets, pancakes, ... but the prices are like in top restaurants for overseas delicacies or like a for premium meat-house. I think that it is the pricing policy that mainly scares people away, at least from visiting again. We were there on Friday evening, and the place was half empty ... Perhaps the rain dispersed it, but apparently - to other places. But on such days, and with such a location - there should be a line! Special respect to the staff, the administrator is experienced, the waiters are attentive, and Kostyan is simply - Krasauchik! English speaking staff is a big value! Suggest to try!
But advice to Marketing team - wish to enhance this place promotion, probably lack of special campaigns, it's as a must. Also, try to rebrand or simplify the name - as example just "Karchma", or something short, it should be more memorable, and simple for search by foreigners... Why not.

Delicious, conveniently located, a cozy summer veranda with blankets for finches, near the river - it's nice to find such a successful and cozy place to meet with friends.
The portions are excellent, delicious, served in cast-iron dishes and keep warm longer, the drinks are varied and large, ranging from strong and ending with teapots of tea.
My friends and I really enjoyed it, thank you.

Excellent location in the center of Minsk, you can sit on a covered terrace with a beautiful view, or in a small courtyard in the shade. They served us very quickly, took a cheese plate and a dry white wine made in France. The wine was just great. It was a little surprising that the prices of wine from different countries were the same. Then we ordered coffee and pancakes with a top. I liked everything, the pancakes on kefir were the most delicate, the coffee was excellent. If there was time, we would love to come again. The disadvantages were not noticed at one time.

The food is praised and recommended, and we tried to look there. The summer veranda is small and cozy, the tables are occupied, it is better to book in advance. The waiter offered a table in the courtyard, saw him off and disappeared. We took the menu ourselves at the next table. In 10 minutes. Not a single waiter appeared in the courtyard, although three tables were occupied. The yard is not cozy: napkins are lying around, chairs are standing at random, there is nothing on the tables. I had to go to the bar, to my questions whether they would accept the order or serve only the veranda, everyone vied with each other and answered rather sharply that of course, there were just a lot of people. A young waitress appeared, coldly polite. Then they were served quickly and just as coldly. The food (golubchik from the oven, wine, ice cream) is delicious, the price tag is too high, but this is the very center, the tour. the trail is practically.

It's a very good place. On the riverbank in the historical center of Minsk. The view is beautiful (we were sitting on the veranda). Sponge pancakes are great! I would like to mention the waitress separately, unfortunately I do not remember her name (with black hair, thin, not tall). A cheerful, kind person, told me everything, advised and lifted my mood) and coped with boarding 12 people very easily!!! I recommend the place

We walked around the Trinity suburb and came here to have a snack. We were sitting on the terrace outside, nice view. The food arrived pretty quickly. I liked the mushroom soup in bread, the pancakes are medium. The prices are higher than the famous Cornflowers, and the food is worse. In general, you can come in if you walk in the area.
I didn't like that the waiter was quite insistently asking for tips, right with the questions "Will you leave? Will you leave it? Leave 10%, if there is no cash, I will enter it at the terminal and pay by card." As a result, it was almost impossible not to leave, but this approach is no good. Apparently, the calculation is for tourists who once came in and need to get these tips by any means.

I can't describe the pros and cons. When we were in Minsk, we passed by many times. There was a desire to come in - there was a beautiful view of Svisloch from the veranda, but everything was always busy. Today, in the rain on Monday, we passed by, the veranda was almost empty. We went in, asked the waiter about the service, he reluctantly answered. We waited 10 minutes for someone to come up to us, but they didn't wait and left. There was a "Reserved" sign on many tables, maybe the guys were just spoiled by their demand.

A great place with professionals who work and love their job, and do not work off the day. We were on May 9, of course, they immediately said that the expectation was increased, but they gave it back faster than promised.
The menu is for lovers of local cuisines, 100% disappearing. Belarusian cuisine in all its glory, I don't know what else I've seen. There is something to drink, but there are also soft drinks. The establishment is large as much as 2 floors, the second floor of one of the wings has 2 rooms, one has ± 10 tables with a view of the city and the river, the other has a more intimate 5-6 tables with a window to the courtyard. And the views from the summer veranda are chic, the city center, the river, the historical part, and the tavern itself in colorful knowledge, of which there are many nearby. There are a couple of stoics in the courtyard.
Highly recommend it!

My honest review after visiting on May 14, 24:
The cafe needs to change the waiters in hoodies and ordinary clothes, to friendly staff, I was not pleased when a person who seemed to be walking by took and brought an order.
The food was delicious, but for example there is no bread for soups and we were not offered it.The hodgepodge was delicious by the way.
Draniki-I think it tastes better on the neighboring streets, these were some kind of raw.

A beautiful view opens from the summer terrace. The food is normal. The service is specific. If I ask you to take the rest of the food with you, they will bring you a container so that they can fold it themselves. This is usually done by the employees of the institution. I also noticed that the waiters do not have teamwork. Which is why you have to wait for your waiter attached to your table. As an example, the guests came, sat down at the table, and it was not cleaned after the others. The waiter came up, and instead of clearing the table, he said something like that it wasn't his table and went somewhere. Well, who does that. Take it away, put the guests down and then go about your business.

The food is ordinary, nothing special. The problem is in the service and attitude of the staff. Almost all the tables are reserved, although we sat for about two hours, no one came to these tables, and visitors who were interested in free places were refused. The waiters were waiting for quite a long time, after the previous visitors, the tables are not even wiped and used napkins are not removed, thank you, although the dishes are taken away. We cooked fairly simple dishes like pancakes and pots of meat for about an hour. I do not recommend this place.

Caesar and parsley, that says it all. I wonder when restaurants will realize that classic dishes are not the dishes that are worth experimenting with. And in general, the staff's rather cool attitude towards visitors, such as "find a place yourself, we don't have time, and if we don't find it, then there is no place", and the most interesting thing is that all the guests are tourists, well, you know what it looks like.

Брали драники, и они были вкуснейшими: и колдуны с домашним фаршем, и классические драники с куриными потрохами под сливочно-грибным соусом. Отличное ледяное пиво, незаменимое в жаркий летний день. Быстрое и вежливое обслуживание с долей юмора. Всё очень понравилось.

Tavern... the name is like from books about the beginning of the 20th century …

The place itself gives the impression of a "passing yard", it's not cozy somehow, the service is simplified somehow (there is no severity of something, I can't even explain what ..., it's not hospitable Or what?)
Funny toilets - there are 5 times more on a submarine!

Пришли по рекомендации.
Возвращались сюда дважды.
Хорошее место на берегу
(чем-то даже Питерский грузинский ресторан на набережной напомнило).
Есть внутренний зал.
Есть места под зонтиками на улице.
И есть павильон (в нем было немного жарковато, но терпимо).
Вкусно.
Холодник очень вкусный - вкуснее, чем в других местах.
Вкус драников в Белоруссии я так и не поняла (делаю их иначе), у них как-будто картофельные биточки.
В целом вкусно.
В первый раз официант был никакой, на простой вопрос ответил грубо и «на отвяжись».
Второй раз и отношение персонала порадовало, и кухня была такая же вкусная.
Спасибо.
Рекомендую.
Цены, кстати, вроде тоже демократичные.

Одно из лучших гастро мест в Минске, в Белорусском стиле, этническая кухня. Каждый раз бывая в Минске ужинаю там. Зимой в помещении на 2м этаже, летом на веранде. Горячие блюда ожидание 15-30 мин, пролетают не заметно. В начале берём пиво, не пастеризованое Адивария, с тарелкой закуски сало и пр., пока пробуем, приносят вкуснейший борш с горячими булочками, далее Бабулины прысмаки (колбаска домашняя с картофелем) и 300 грамм настойки с перцем), можно после второе пиво, тут по ощущениям. Рядом люди катаются на катамаран ах, вид на реку Свислочь. Красота! Вечером на той стороне реки играют ребята на электрогитар.

We came in with the children. We sat down on the street. Only two tables were occupied.
The table was all sticky. We waited 10 minutes, asked the waitress to come over. She said it now. Another 10 minutes passed, but no one came up. At the same time, she ran back and forth. And in general, it felt like she was alone in the whole establishment and she just didn't need new customers.
So it didn't work out to evaluate the kitchen. And after such a wait, I didn't want to.
