We had arrived into Minsk and this was a convenient recommended place.We sat in the small, quiet, non-smoking dining area.Great selection of beers, we had the local dark beer and it was tasty.There is a lot meat dishes to choose from and they were very delicious - cheeks on mash and a medium rare cooked steak. Not sure I would order a dessert there again.Sports were playing on the tvs, which my boyfriend liked.There was a band upstairs that you could hear it and the cheering occasionally.It's an easy option that is central.Our waitress spoke English with us and everything came out as ordered, as our Russian is pitiful!Hello, StephEff1 ! Thanks for your feedback. We are very glad that you enjoyed us. Always glad to see you! Faithfully yours, team of "Rakovsky Brovar" brewery-restaurant

We had breakfast there with my husband. It is not expensive, food is plain and ok for that price. Would recommend for simple food lovers. We sat outside which is quite comfortable but very close to the street. The inside looked a little bit more interesting, but with no windows.. :/

Visiting Traktir was without a doubt the single most fun experience I ever had in a restaurant.It has everything you can hope for: amazing typical food, a lovely environment that reflects the countryâs traditions and really good service.We were overwhelmed with the kindness of everyone. The food is beautifully displayed and they make you feel like you have arrived to a very lively and fun party. Itâs so well thought of.This was the best experience I ever had in a restaurant. My boyfriend and I really hope to be able to come back one day. Plus we were lucky enough to be there for a typical Belarusian birthday party and it was so much fun and interesting!If you are in Minsk, do not miss this pearl. Delicious food, drinks and a guaranteed perfect time. They also have a lovely cherry licor that I recommend you to try!Thank you, Andrea, for such a sincere and warm review about our native Tavern.

6. News CAFE

Reviewed By kartul
We had dinner here and were quite satisfied with the food. We were a bit surprised by the very high prices of the bottled wines, but wines by glass were reasonably priced. The waitress spoke excellent English, and was very nice and looked like she enjoyed her job. However we had to wait very long for our dessert.It is a bit strange to have the names of international newspapers that are not available in Minsk on the wall, and as in many other restaurants in Minsk the smell of cigarette smoke destroys the atmosphere. The most annoying thing was actually the music. It was the worst kind of traditional jazz which was really horrible. Otherwise we would have given it a four, since we were quite happy with our meals.Maybe Belarusians like this kind of music, but we certainly don't.

The only place in Belarus with such a wide choice of beer!

Probably the best place to enjoy craft beers in Minsk! Centrally located, nice terrace and most sympathetic cellars offering a great, local and international selection of craft beers!Due to central location a bit pricey and slightly touristic but happy waiters and nice atmosphere compensate more than enoughBelmontcarlo!We are really glad that you have enjoyed your visit! You are always welcome!

Elegant cafe in the heart of the city. We serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. Dj sets on weekends. International cuisine, nice atmosphere.
Reviewed By NariRanju
This place is fantastic. Very well positioned, excellent staff and tasty and well presented food. No doubt very expensive by local standards, but very good value internationally speaking. Portions were a bit small (quite normal for a restaurant of this caliber), but the bruschetta was massive, and my wife who is a real food connoisseur said it was the best bruschetta she had ever tasted, also said the mille-feuille she had was also amazing. Everything else we had was also very tasty and well presented. They had a very extensive selection of food, drinks and sumptuous desserts. It was GRAND cafe.

Kuchmistr serves an excellent selection of Belarusian / Lithuanian dishes most of which date back to the times of glory of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, both of its brave gentry and hard-working peasants, not forgetting about local Jewish and Tartar culin
Reviewed By Ian C
Kuhmistr is on the ground floor of an anonymous block, but inside affects a brick-arched rusticity. The menu had an English section, and at least one of the waitresses spoke our language. Sticking to what were described as Belarusian specialities, I ate vereshchaka and my wife kolduny. The former was a dish of bits of pork and sausage in a cream sauce, served with little pancakes (to be used to scoop up the hash, but I didnât); the latter were like oversized meat-stuffed pierogi with a cheesy sauce. Local beer for me (a brand called Rechytsky), a glass of Georgian wine for her, both acceptable, neither amazing. The place filled steadily as we ate, mostly with locals so far as we could tell. The TV on the wall, sound thoughtfully turned down, was showing Belarusian cartoons, all wily peasants and talking animals, Baba Yaga meets Brer Rabbit.Three stars may seem a bit grudging, but I come back to my usual grouse about TripAdvisor's rating system. Three stars ought to mean good, not average; in this case it certainly does.Well, it is a great pity for us that you've come back to usual grouse about TripAdvisor's rating system right at this review. Of course we should have preferred it would happen 1 or 2 reviews later. Thank your for the last phrase, about "good, not average"; and have a good stay in Belarus anyway. Yours sincerely. Kuhmistr.

Enjoyed dinner here and had the very tasty and well prepared duck entree with a nice bottle of wine. Great vibe, high level of service and great people watching. I'm inspired to try their breakfast some time but have only dined here for an evening meal so far. Great wine list and a very fresh and Western style environment. The sign is almost non-existent so don't give up looking for this place very close to City Hall and Gambrinus pub. I'll return and return often. Love this little jewel.
