We were satisfied with visiting this institution. The table was not booked, but the receptionist kindly invited us to an empty table, the waiters served us kindly. The dishes we ordered were borscht with pom-poms (it was delicious, a little softer and more garlic-like than the pom-poms themselves, but maybe we got to such a party), followed by draniki, perfectly cooked, in a moderate ratio of potatoes and flour, as well as pancakes with sour cream, which turned out to be very tasty, just like at home. We definitely recommend this restaurant, and I also note that guests of the capital can be safely recommended for lunch / dinner and tasting of the Belarusian dish - draniki!

We went to the gastrofest. I'll start with the good thing: the receptionist at the entrance is a really friendly and warm—hearted person, perhaps the best thing about this place. The interior is atmospheric, with a touch of that same nostalgia for the 60s (I immediately remembered the cartoon "Now I'll sing"). Large windows are my weakness, and there is also a rabbit that I feel sorry for to the point of tears (everyone strokes it, a cage in the hall is a controversial decision). We chose between the halls — it seemed uncomfortable on the second floor, so we went down to the first floor. We waited for 40 minutes for the set, which is tolerable for such a concept. But, alas, the food was disappointing. What I liked: bacon with mustard/horseradish and black bread, barrel cucumbers and sauerkraut — really tasty and homemade. What didn't go down: · Monastic mushroom soup was served cold (we like it hot - we didn't finish it). · Duck with apples and prunes: the portion is very large, the meat comes off well, but the smell is peculiar, we did not like it. · Pancakes with simulated caviar and "Shredded" pancakes were frankly cold. · The cake "A la Napoleon" is sickly sweet, the cakes are hard, as if they were lying down. Only the cranberries saved. Would you have come back? No. Perhaps the food is prepared differently outside of the gastrofest, but I don't want to try it yet. For 53 BYN, we got a lot of food for two people, but without any gastronomic pleasure.
