The cafe is in a historic building, we stopped after a walk around the territory. On the right side, the halls were closed, apparently for events. There are 8-9 tables and 1 waitress on the left side. We took the menu and sat for 15-20 minutes and no one came up to us. She went to the bar and asked to take the order. The waitress replied that she was busy, and that she would come as soon as she was free. Carl! If it hadn't been for the rain, she would have turned around and left. We took borscht, draniki, dumplings with cherries. Everything is quite edible. There were no 2 items from the menu. The food arrived quickly! And we waited for the bill again for about 15 minutes. The waitress, however, apologized for the delay. In general, if you are not in a hurry or the weather has let you down, then you are at the right place)

Clean, delicious, well-prepared fresh food, humane prices, bottled kvass is super, the staff is friendly. Everything is fine except for the queue at the entrance even on a weekday and the heat inside the cafe. There is not only an air conditioner, but even a fan. Okay, the guests- we came, ate and left as soon as possible, but like the waitress girls, they stand there all day and even try to smile... Special thanks to them

I won't tell you about the place itself, read from the history. But I'll tell you about how the catering canteen is organized there. Delicious food, just like everywhere else in Belarus. It is very well organized by rooms-this is a feature of the citadel building itself. You can eat in the dining room, you can take it out. I highly recommend visiting, and I must also mention the bathroom separately. Everything is so clean that I can't even believe that it's not for show, but every day.

We visited the cafe on 04/29/2026 at about 4 p.m. The occupancy rate was 30-40%, so we calmly found a table. We chose draniki with sour cream, chicken fillet under a cheese cap with potatoes, Polessky salad, Pistachio cake, chamomile-orange tea. Everything was fresh and delicious, the service was courteous and fast. The atmosphere is themed - decorated in a military style, the music is appropriate (famous songs of the Soviet years). After visiting the Brest Fortress and museums, it is a great place to relax and replenish your strength.

A cozy cafe on the territory of the Brest fortress. Delicious cuisine and an entourage atmosphere - the cafe is located in a historic building and this is a great opportunity to feel yourself in the scenery of the 18th and 19th century.. But! A huge request to the management is to pay attention to the speed of service. There are influx of visitors and during such periods, young waitresses just get lost and make a lot of unnecessary movements, creating a feeling of useless fuss. We ordered borscht and draniki... Our dishes were already on the counter ready to be served, and the girls were running around, seating the customers, and wiping the tables.. They didn't let me take the first one myself, don't rush with arrogance, it won't cool down.. as a result, the borscht was just warm and served along with the draniki, which also cooled down while we were eating.. I'll give you 5 anyway because the place is wonderful and the cuisine is excellent. Pork fried pancakes are just fire👍 Visiting this cafe is like having lunch in a museum. Be sure to come in, but be prepared for the influx of other guests.

A wonderful cafe on the territory of the Memorial Complex. A wide selection of dishes. Salads, hot dishes, desserts. They took solyanka, draniki with sour cream, veal dumplings, sandwiches with caviar. Delicious, fast. I liked the draniki the most in this cafe. Svetlana served us the order very quickly and amicably. We recommend it!

Disgusting service, we waited 30 minutes, and until we were reminded, they didn't bring it. The food is more or less, but it has already been brought a little warm. Instead of 4 devices, 2 were brought. The girl with red hair (unfortunately, it was not possible to find out her name) is not very friendly, there is no desire to return to this institution. It's like a man in penal servitude.... It's a shame to have such a service staff in such a place....

Cafe on the territory of the Brest fortress. We ventured in after the tour, despite the warning in the reviews about long service. Since it was during the January holidays, the delay in serving dishes is justified. The waiters tried very hard. We were lucky that seats were being vacated when we entered, and we even managed to accommodate a group of 14 people. I took a pickle, it was delicious. I liked the cheesecakes. The dumplings (several portions for our company) were served cold. Then it was heated in the microwave. Delicious sea buckthorn tea. As I understand it, there is no alternative to have lunch without going out into the city and go on the next excursion.

It's a good place. I've always wanted to go to a cafe on the territory of such a famous fortress. The room is decorated in the same style as the main object. The food is delicious, the prices are reasonable, the staff is polite. Everything arrived very quickly. The only drawback in the menu is that there is no moonshine, for Belarus it is rather an exception. But there is vodka with the cafe of the same name, which is not bad. The toilet is very clean.

The place itself is very atmospheric, I would recommend a visit. But, having tried draniki in many places of Belarus, these were not very, too greasy. There are no questions about potatoes and herring.) The toilet at the cafe is clean. The dishes are served fairly quickly.

We were at this cafe on Thursday at 4.30 pm. According to the menu, there were only 2 salads out of 5 (one of them was the most expensive), there was no set and beer plate at all, and there were also no nuggets with potatoes. The desserts included dumplings, pancakes, and cakes - as a result, they initially said that only pancakes remained, but when the drinks arrived, it turned out that there were no pancakes either. In the end, they only paid for the drinks (the ice latte was a solid two....) and they asked the administrator to cancel the remaining order. It wasn't a problem, but the receptionist apologized and said they had a lot of people. But it's also natural - summer, vacations, tourists. What is the problem with making blanks based on the flow? Or were there people just today?

We had already waited for the order, had lunch and paid off, but the reserved tables were still empty. Many people who wanted to just turned around and left, they couldn't get in.

The menu does not correspond to reality. In fact, there were literally 5 dishes from the entire menu. Borscht 2/5, Gusar salad 3/5 (just sliced, only the delicious brisket saved). Draniki with sour cream are good, the portion is big (6 draniki). The prices are not too high, considering that it is a tourist destination. If you are walking in the fortress and you are hungry, you can eat, but you should not expect much. Delicious tinctures

We were satisfied, the waiters are nimble, the food is quite good! The portions are good, you can eat up to your fill with one dish.

We came to the cafe at 12:30, the children wanted to eat after several hours on the territory of the Brest fortress - it would seem that the lunch was the most. In the hall, several tables were occupied by customers who were eating. We asked if we could take an empty table and order, to which the staff replied that the cafe was closed and that we should come in half an hour, maybe it would work. There were 5 employees in the hall at that time, and when I asked why other people were eating and we couldn't, the employee replied that they had managed to order because they had arrived earlier. Of course, we are even glad that we could not eat in this cafe, with such an attitude towards the guests there is no desire to taste their cuisine, but it is a pity that such a cafe can even be on the memorable land.…

Disgusting cafe! The sausages are completely tasteless with veins, the draniki are all in butter as if after freezing, the bread is so hard that it was probably found at the Brest fortress around the seventies. You need to wait 20 minutes for the service to order the same amount of ordered dish. I do not advise you to waste your time in this cafe, and choose a decent one in the city.

Prices, as usual in such places, are inflated several times. At the same time, the quality of the dishes is simply disgusting. The cheapest draniki (apparently, frozen semi-finished products that were thawed, not of their own production), simply drowning in oil and, at the same time, not fried. The cheesecakes are exactly the same, blurred, defrosted. In general, it is better to eat outside the Fortress.

I didn't like it at all! The price-quality ratio does not match. I put a star for the side dish in the form of rustic potatoes. There is a lot of vegetable oil in the hodgepodge. An incomprehensible salad with fresh vegetables and ham. We took pork and chicken, too much with mayonnaise. The fries are raw, the children did not eat. They cook better in the dining room. I don't recommend it.

I was there on 5.01.2026. I don't understand why this place has such big stars. All the dishes!!! That's it!!! Not tasty... Draniki are made in some kind of stagnant oil, after which, sorry, belching all day, only two soups, the hodgepodge is not tasty, as in the canteen for 3 kopecks. There is nothing to do with the children there, there is nothing for them. It's easier to get to the center for 300 rubles and go to any other institution. I gave 3 stars for the surroundings and amenities. For the kitchen ZERO!

There is very little space, about 8 tables, and the waitresses at lunchtime are absolutely unable to cope with them. Therefore, be prepared for the fact that regular visitors will "hang" over you. The menu is not very diverse, and you need to pay a fairly decent amount for quite ordinary food. For understanding: a plate of French fries + nuggets - 20 rubles

Fall for the reviews. We ordered borscht and draniki. Borscht was obviously boiled several times, the color and taste are appropriate - none. The croutons served with it are moldy. They told the waiter, and the response was amazing: "We checked, everything is in order." No apologies, nothing. Maybe the other croutons were normal, but mine has mold and tastes the same. Draniki overcooked several times in rancid oil is impossible to eat. Ginger warming drink is just water with ginger. They also waited a very long time for the bill. I do not recommend this institution.

A place where guests are hated... after a walk through the museum and the complex, I wanted to relax and have a snack. We entered this establishment, no one greets the guests, of course we went to the air-conditioned room (+35 outside), the waiter stopped us and said that this room is only for groups. We sat down in the second room where the bar is located. The service is long, the price tag is higher than the establishments located outside the complex, the comfortable halls are completely closed or for groups. We waited a long time for the order, They brought the hodgepodge, I tried a couple of spoons and that's it, I felt sick from the unbearable heat and stuffiness, the hodgepodge is not tasty, as in cheap canteens of the most inedible sausages. The second course was refused because it is simply impossible to be in such conditions. I sat on the toilet floor for another 10 minutes because there was air conditioning. While we were waiting for the order, about 20 guests came in and left because of these conditions. For those who are going to have a snack and relax while walking around the fortress, I recommend not being lazy and taking a walk to the cafe "forget-me-not" in the parking lot. Don't waste your time and health on the Citadel.
