The dining room on the 4th floor is a great place for those nostalgic for this format. A large selection of dishes, dishes are clean, whole, tables are clean. The prices are very low: a salad of really fresh vegetables and a cold salad (sparse) - 2-2.5 rubles, fish meatballs - 5 rubles and very tasty. Coffee is 3 rubles, but not very tasty.
It's a bit noisy, there's no beautiful view from the window, but as a dining room it's super.
I ordered a standard lunch: borscht , potatoes and pork cutlet. The borscht turned out to be very salty , the portion of potatoes is less than standard compared to similar establishments nearby , and the cutlet turned out to be quite good , but also several times more expensive than in other similar establishments nearby.
The menu of the day does not match what is on the selection. The only plus is that they were served with a smile and a pleasant mood.
NEW (opened on the 1st floor of the store only this spring), NOT BAD, BUT EXPENSIVE (see the price list in the photo). Because the same price for a small cappuccino from 5 rubles - about 150 rubles for Russian ones - is, in the Belarusian opinion, too much. And in the neighborhood you can find places no worse, and cheaper
Last weekend, my husband and I visited the new cafeteria on the first floor of the department store.I thought it would become one of the favorite establishments in Minsk, but... We ordered a cake, tea (in a teapot for 6 rubles) and coffee. I did not drink such tea even at school in the 80s of the last century. In a fairly large teapot at the bottom there was a fine substance -"tea", in an amount not commensurate with the amount of water. I can't even politely convey his taste. In the main department store of the country, I consider it simply indecent to serve (sell) such tea.
The food is not tasty, a softened waffle and an incomprehensible mess in the form of chicken with mushrooms in a creamy sauce. The dishes are disposable, which really spoils the impression. At the checkout, the girl did not even take her mind off the phone conversation to take the order and calculate. The situation is no better on the ground floor. Desserts and coffee do not match the stated prices. In general, it is not a very pleasant impression🙄
One person takes the order, he also prepares and pours drinks. We ordered waffles. The waffles turned out to be over-dried, because there were a lot of people at the checkout when they needed to be taken out. They gave pancakes a chance, but they also turned out to be tasteless: it felt like eating dry pita bread with ham. And the funny thing is that the site says that the dishes are prepared according to recipes of the 19th century. 😂😂😂 When marketers tried their best
A good dining room, a great replica from Soviet times! A very convenient place for fast and healthy meals. A large selection of dishes. The kitchen of delicious and healthy food!
It is sad that the first review is negative.
Of the advantages:
Pleasant interior and unobtrusive music.
That's it.
Cons:
Sea buckthorn tea is a chemical shit, syrup diluted with boiling water.
The potato cake is old and dry.
The waffle was generally atas, taken with flaxseed ice cream and salted caramel. Ice cream is like ice cream, but you can prop up a rickety chair with a waffle, hammer nails or patch a hole in the wall (well, you get it).
The staff's faces looked like they had worked 18 hours in a wild heat, but we came at lunch and besides us there were a couple of tables with pensioners in the cafe.
Acceptable prices, a decent assortment, the only drawback I couldn't find without help. But this is not a significant disadvantage, as they say, it is not difficult to ask ... When visiting Minsk, I will definitely stop by this dining room again

It's just terrible, it's impossible to eat pies, both were like expired or rancid butter, they didn't eat. The cakes are also not tasty at all. I didn't expect it, I thought it would be made from normal ingredients like across the street, but it's something with something.
The interior is beautiful, the food is not very good, all the staff take only coffee, I took a complex lunch, I couldn't eat soup, I ate only a waffle in a sandwich with a waffle.
If you are from Russia, then the concept of a dining room is completely different here. The food is honestly disgusting. In 3 canteens there was and gave the last chance to the Gum dining room… I realized that I won't eat in the canteens here anymore... as if they stopped 50 years ago
Excellent dining room, good assortment, delicious pastries, delicious food, good price, even recently there is a restaurant salad of the Greek type for the lowest price than in other establishments located nearby, delicious pancakes with cabbage and poultry, borscht is the tastiest.I recommend
Barely half of what is on the menu is available. There is no toilet. The service is fast. The food is simple, with a minimum of salt and spices, suitable for children
