Welcome to our channel! The Horseshoe tavern is located in a quiet place, not far from the center of Grodno, on Kirova Street, 9. It was there that we went one spring day, either for a late lunch or an early dinner.
Atmosphere.
The name on the main sign is not indicated, you can only understand that it is a "Horseshoe" by getting closer to the entrance group. The inn positions itself as a hospitable establishment with long-forgotten dishes of Old Slavic cuisine and original liqueurs. Soft music is playing inside. The choice of distinctive cuisine here is rich and varied. The prices are reasonable. The staff is in uniform of a national character. For six years now, gastronomic festivals have been held in the tavern in spring and autumn, offering visitors various interesting sets, for example, an interpretation of the festive feast among the peasants of the Polessky village from the novel by the Belarusian writer Ivan Melezh, or a set based on Peter 1's favorite dinner dishes. It's a pity that we didn't catch this gastrofest, but we will appreciate It's like a reason to come back here!
Interior.
The interior design is typical for an inn. There are a lot of seats, the furniture arrangement is quite wide. The walls are finished with natural dark wood bricks, the halls are furnished with rough, massive furniture. The warm, subdued lighting resembles the natural light of the evening sun. The brutal decoration, linen tablecloths, large bottles of tinctures, an oven and other details of 19th-20th century everyday life are all very consistent with the overall style and concept of the establishment.
Menu.
It is made of wood and resembles a fairy-tale box.
Inside, the description is in two languages, the grammars are in place, there are no pictures. If you believe the stereotypes, then potatoes are present in almost all dishes of Belarus, and despite the versatility of the cuisine of this country, we suggest that you personally verify this stereotype by looking at the menu and reading the article to the end.
We taste culture and traditions.
We place an order and after 10 minutes the "Royal fish from overseas" appears on the table. Tender salmon, cut into identical pieces, gave the broth a golden color and a good broth, and spicy vegetables - richness and flavor. The fish soup was followed by one of the most famous dishes of Belarusian cuisine, the most popular of which is perhaps draniki - this is "Bulbyanaya babka". It has everything not to think about hunger for a long time. Overall, everything was delicious, high in calories, and we barely got up from the table.

Everything is fine except the most important thing-the kitchen.
I'll start with the pros-the entrance group is excellent, the entourage is 4+. The service is 4+. Tinctures 5.
After opening the menu (elegantly decorated), the oddities begin. The peasant salad includes ingredients such as beef tongue, shrimp. Etc. the dishes are strange in composition, they do not correspond in any way to the names hinting at antiquity and traditions.
Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture of the receipt. The names are roughly from memory:
- solyanka 4- (there was not enough richness and taste)
- merchant's salad 3 (Caesar salad wrapped at home in a pancake with the addition of red beans). A strange combination that has no pronounced taste. In general, it's a mess.
- Beef Stroganoff 3 (unpleasant taste of beef)
- chicken under a walnut 2 (the name is not accurate. But this is the most disastrous dish. The walnut and cheese are burnt, the chicken is dry)
In general, I do not recommend it, we did not get any positive emotions from the dishes.

We were pleasantly surprised! For our entire journey through Belarus, this place is with:
1) the most pleasant prices
2) the most delicious food
3) friendly waiters (you will not find this everywhere in the country!)
4) a cozy atmosphere
For seven people, a business lunch with extra lemonade came out at 105 bel.rubles
There is a table for a large company with the aesthetics of a fireplace room.
Delicious national dishes. The food from the main menu is prepared in front of you, so the wait may be 40 minutes, but the business lunch was served very quickly - and with a national twist :)
Thank you!
