Impression of the cafe:
A great cafe with insanely delicious dishes and prices acceptable for a place with a similar level of service.
Advantages:
✅️ Accessibility. It is located in the city center, it takes about 15 minutes to walk to the nearest metro station.
✅️ Price / quality ratio. The portions are decent, and everything is unrealistically delicious!
✅️ Service. They serve you quickly enough, even if there is almost a full boarding in the hall. The average waiting time for hot dishes is 15/20 minutes.
It is possible to put something in a container with you that you will not finish, the portions are decent.
Overall rating: 95/100 — a slightly inconvenient approach to the restaurant (basement).
The rating in stars is 5+ :)

It was immaculately tasty, we went around many famous and chain cafes, restaurants, accidentally came here, the food is delicious, a huge selection of dishes, tastier than in a restaurant where the price tag is x3, I highly recommend pork ribs, the portion is huge, you can safely take two, pots with hearts lick your fingers, cherry tincture is sooo pleasant, very upset that we visited this place on the last day of our vacation ((( If we visit your city again, we will only go here to eat

We visited the Yankee Cafe with a company of 6 people, we were satisfied with the visit. A large selection of dishes, especially surprised by the presence of a children's menu. The portions are very large, in my opinion, even too much, while the price is very low. All the dishes are delicious, a good balance of spices and salt, the serving is simple but beautiful.
Atmosphere: dim lights, wooden furniture, animal skins on the walls.
The staff is friendly, the serving of all dishes and drinks turned out to be super fast, well done!
Pencils were brought to the child, for this a separate plus sign. The dumplings ordered for the child turned out to be purchased, but I wanted homemade ones) only here there was a discrepancy with expectations.
When paying by check, they gave a discount to the birthday boy.
Recommend 👍

A very cool place, cozy, in the basement, a very cool kitchen, the chefs are just beautiful - they cooked very quickly considering the full landing, the waiter is a smart girl, although she mixed up the vegetable salad for us, but we were even happy about it, but I liked the fact that she was ready to change it right away. The dumplings are cool -the child was happy, the frying pan with meat and potatoes is gorgeous, the ribs are just a dump of the head, and a few more dishes and drinks, thank you -now as soon as we are in Minsk we will always come to you for a light. Greetings from Yaroslavl!

I would like to mention the cozy atmosphere of the establishment right away. The restaurant's menu turned out to be very diverse and included traditional dishes of Belarusian cuisine. The prices in the restaurant are quite adequate, given the high quality of the products and cooking.
I recommend this restaurant to all lovers of traditional cuisine and those who want to try something new and unusual. I will definitely come back here again!

The Yankee Cafe is one of the most cozy and wonderful places in Minsk. If you want to really eat delicious Belarusian homemade cuisine, then you are here! We have not tried such Pancakes anywhere else. Very tasty Mochanka with draniki, under the national moonshine- pervogon. The attitude of the waiters is fascinating. Many thanks to Pavel for his wonderful service! See you next time!

An interesting place in the heart of Minsk. Despite the basement location, it is very cozy and atmospheric here.
Dishes of traditional Belarusian cuisine are accompanied by patches of their own production of good quality.
The waitress girl (unfortunately, I didn't find out her name) was on top. I brought everything accurately and relatively quickly, despite the very high workload.
In general, if you want to move away from visiting other traditional restaurants, of which there are many in the center, I highly recommend visiting the Yankees!

On Saturday, we visited a cafe on February 8, 2025 with friends .
Very nice place!
We were delighted.
The staff was attentive and friendly. Really delicious cuisine. I was pleased with the variety of the menu.
Oh, this kitchen... it's just great! All the dishes were fresh and delicious.
Respect to the chefs.
The perfect combination of price and quality.
There are many reasons to visit a cafe, but it's better to visit and experience this wonderful atmosphere for yourself. We will definitely come back here more than once! We recommend it, you won't regret it.Maria

Delicious and reasonable prices. I tried salmon with baked potatoes with spinach sauce. It's very appetizing.
There is an interesting interior inside, it is quite cozy. The only small disadvantage, but it does not affect the assessment: in summer, when it is hot and stuffy, you want to sit outside. And there is an outdoor terrace with tables. Some of the tables under the umbrellas were occupied. There were also empty tables, but for some reason the umbrellas above them were closed. And we were told that they would not open them. Because of this, it was not possible to sit outside. Still, it is not very comfortable to be under the hot sun, especially if precipitation falls. It is not very clear what prevented the umbrellas from being opened on another part of the terrace. But this is a small thing.

Hello everyone
I will not report on the entire diverse menu of the very pleasant Minsk cafe of Belarusian cuisine "Yankee's", it will take a very long time. I will only tell you about the dish I ordered, which was completely unfamiliar to me, under the magical name "Grillata".
When ordering, I somehow did not pay attention to the gramophone. But in vain! I gasped involuntarily when the dish was placed in front of me. These were huge bites of four types of meat! Grilled meat.
Beef tenderloin, pork tenderloin, chicken fillet, Homemade sausages, Rustic potatoes, Pomadoro sauce, salad mix.
All this splendor was perfectly marinated and grilled as "the doctor ordered." It is thin, at the same time tender and crunchy, almost melting in the mouth. And the Pomadoro sauce, which was able to recognize tomatoes, garlic, disassembled into atoms, spices, dried ground herbs and OM, earned general compliments!
Under the dry Spanish red, this plate was enough for several hours of a bright celebration.
My friends, if anyone will be in Minsk and is interested in Belarusian cuisine, I recommend it.
Good luck and goodies to all! 🌹💖

A standard cafe. The menu is also quite standard for such establishments. There are national dishes, but they are very simplified and adapted for quick cooking. And in fact they fit on one menu sheet. Everything else is mass market/consumer. If you want "like grandma's", it's definitely not here.
The staff is very pleasant and courteous. It is clear that they are trying. That's a plus.

A great place in the city center! Very tasty cuisine at a great price! We sat with our spouse for a long time, ate hot food, tasted liqueurs, drank tea, coffee and dessert. The tables were never empty, as soon as someone leaves, new customers immediately come. A lot of tables were already booked. I definitely recommend this place to visit, especially for tourists.

You know, we got here by chance, according to a banner, next to the cafe "Cornflowers" (there was a queue at the entrance). We were looking for traditional cuisine and found it here.
The food is very tasty, there are almost always places in the cafe, the waiters are pleasant and efficient, the check is average, even probably a little lower than the competitors, the atmosphere is cozy, they cook quickly. We had a wonderful time. I recommend it to those who are looking for peace and tranquility in this world. Of the cons, probably not a rich selection of beer.

A very good place to visit, the soups are amazing, I really liked it. There are birthday discounts, although in many places this feature is missing. The minus star is only because draniki is not our dish, we ordered everything and did not enjoy it, but it's not the place to blame, as well as I did not like the beer, but then again I learned from not knowing the local)

Exceeds all expectations. Behind the inconspicuous facade of a basement cafe with traditional Belarusian cuisine, there is a sincere institution with high-quality food and friendly staff. I'm sure this place hides a lot of secrets... The history of the kakbe building... he hints to us about this.
Book your seats in advance. It may happen that the hall will be empty, but all the tables are booked.

A good place to try national dishes. The service is good: The order was quickly accepted, and it was served just as quickly. We tried salads, appetizers, hot dishes and dessert) Everything was very tasty and satisfying. I will immediately note the size of the portions, very large. We couldn't even eat everything. Therefore, carefully read the menu and look by weight.
One of the things I didn't like was the dark environment, it was difficult to read the menu in the semi-darkness, so we were unsuccessfully seated near the entrance to the kitchen, it was very noisy) The staff in the kitchen was talking loudly and swearing at intervals. Also, all the heat from the kitchen went into the hall. It was a little stuffy.
Otherwise, it's a good place)

A very tasty cafe, there is a summer veranda, everything is very tasty, satisfying, and, as for me, it is budget-friendly (about 20 rubles per dish), the waiter with an earring in his nose smartly builds communication with the guest, I was very upset that I did not have time to change money for Belarusian to leave a tip. I definitely recommend this cafe for lunch or dinner. Casserole and machanka with pancakes are just thieves of hearts.

About food: very large portions of Belarusian cuisine for a reasonable price. This is an undoubted advantage of this institution. The food is delicious. From the unusual: here you can try the testicles of a bull in a pot.
The service is friendly. All the dishes were brought quickly, but I waited for dessert for a very long time. The staff is polite and courteous. I was sitting on the terrace, so the atmosphere was very cozy for me. It was cool and I was offered a warm blanket. It was very pleasant. I recommend visiting connoisseurs of Belarusian cuisine.

A competent menu, not a very large selection of dishes, which is correct. There is everything: vegetables, meat, poultry, fish, desserts.
Fast serving, large portions.
Of the cons: I got a waiter who does not know the composition of the dishes.
I mixed up the ordered salad (ordered with fish, brought with bacon, while, of course, I did not forget to include it in the bill)
We ordered a hot meat platter (pork, chicken, beef) - all chops are like a sole. Dry, not tasty.
The first is a hodgepodge. Strangely, it was with sauerkraut, lemon, olives... A strange set.
In general, they went according to reviews, with a great desire to visit a wonderful place, and left with a desire not to return.

My birthday was celebrated on September 22, 2024. I was with my husband and 2 children. We ordered 4 different hot dishes, salad, drinks (without alcohol). The next day, my son had a fever of 40, which could not be brought down, vomiting every 5 minutes and diarrhea. A day later, the temperature of 39.5 rose in the youngest child with the same symptoms, then I had abdominal pain. Unfortunately, on 23/09 we left for Brest, and 4 days later we flew to Russia. The eldest child suffered with such symptoms for 10 days! The diagnosis is SALMONELLOSIS! I am attaching a certificate. I am sure that we picked it up in this institution, because it was the last point of catering where we all ate before going to Brest. BE CAREFUL WHEN VISITING THIS PLACE! We need to check it out!
A certificate from the children's polyclinic in the attachment, so as not to be unfounded!

We came and it turned out that the institution was open from 14.00, perhaps there is a logical explanation for this, but we did not like walking for 15 minutes in the cold. We ordered borscht and brought a pale soup with a strange sour-salty taste. The borscht seemed dubious to the adult women at the next table, too.
The borscht was served with WHITE bread and semi-frozen watery lard.
And we ordered pancakes with chanterelles in a pot - the CRUNCH of DIRT on our teeth has been with us ever since! I understand that chanterelle is a fox fluke and porous. But if they are washed normally piece by piece, and not just rinsed in a basin, then there will be no earth left in them!!!
