This is a good café to sit and sink a few beers and watch the world pass by. The café offers local snacks like draniki and tasty potato pancakes.
Dining
The restaurant scene in Minsk is slowly changing. Old, formal restaurants are being usurped by a new breed of dynamic Western European-style eateries. The local cuisine, rich in baked meat, mushrooms, soups and heavy sauces, is making a comeback, too. Local favourites worth trying include "hribnoy sup" (mushroom and barley soup), "kolduni" (stuffed meat dumplings) and "golubtsy" (cabbage rolls stuffed with meat and rice). Many of the best restaurants are located near the Grand Opera. Several restaurants offer performances to accompany your meal.
