Excellent location in the very center. We rented an apartment nearby, it was very convenient.
The dishes on the menu are all hearty, there are many national dishes. Salads, snacks, local beer, cocktails. But keep in mind that a variety of pancakes, dumplings in hot pans are quite fatty. The restaurant has a pleasant atmosphere, and a summer terrace is open in the warmer months.
On the downside, there were long queues in the summer to wait for free tables, the place is very popular with tourists. At the same time, the service itself is quite fast.
We visit Minsk regularly and always try to have dinner in Cornflowers) Thank you for your work and the atmosphere.
A good place to enjoy Belarusian cuisine. Borscht, draniki and cocoa were tested.
Positive:
1. Delicious food and drinks. The borscht was very good, the pancakes and cocoa did not disappoint either. For its price, great.
2. A large selection of Belarusian cuisine and alcohol.
3. Pleasant atmosphere. The decor and staff create the feeling of a real Belarusian tavern.
4. Spacious establishment. Even during peak hours, there is a high probability that you can find an empty table.
5. Good service. The waiter was tactful and polite.
Minuses:
1. Waiting for some dishes. Borscht and cocoa were brought almost immediately, but the pancakes had to wait quite a long time (about 20-25 minutes). Other visitors also faced such a problem, there were several tired waiting glances.
2. Input delay. The administrator had to wait about 5 minutes, which caused a queue to form. It would be better if someone from the staff could come on as a substitute at such moments.
At the moment, "Vasilki" also leave a positive impression.
I recommend you to visit.
I will say that it is a pleasant atmospheric place in a national style and traditional cuisine. The pitch is beautiful. They serve quickly, everything is clear. I didn't try everything, but what I took was delicious. The drinks are decent, I can't say about alcohol, I don't drink, but the neighbors were happy to order. The only thing is that the flow of tourists is such that there is a queue of 5-10 people at the entrance and waiting for an empty table. I think it's better to book a table in advance. We were lucky, there were places on a weekday afternoon, but it was tight. The staff is polite, but seems a little tired. I highly recommend you to visit!
It is a very advertised place, everyone knows and recommends it. I liked: a variety of dishes, convenient location, pleasant atmosphere inside, music, dishes, interiors. I didn't like it: the staff is acting strangely and not very well coordinated. At first, we were strictly warned that we would have to wait in line for 20 minutes, but in the end, after 5 minutes, we were already escorted to the table. The girl wiped the table in front of us and did not do it very well, I got dirty with cream that was left on the table from previous guests, they did not take the order for a long time, moreover, the waiters did not seem to be busy. The dishes themselves, admittedly, are very tasty.
This is a storehouse of Belarusian food. All the top dishes are on the menu. And everything is done well. An authentic setting. Only dranichkov for every taste. And the herring....MMM. I'm writing and drooling. There is also a drawback. The administrators of the halls are not aware of the availability of seats, and at what stage the guests are. But this can also be turned into a plus. Do not stand in line, but go inside and have never been so I did not find an empty place. But in general, this is a serious disadvantage and requires study. There are a lot of waiters, but they can't collect information. They cannot pass it to the assigned waiter. Therefore, the administrator cannot accumulate information either. Shortly.. Kitchen, top. Tuteisha top. The organization is lame.
This cafe is the first, bright, tasty and very kind impression of the city of Minsk. We came across this cozy place from the morning train and were shocked by the balanced breakfasts, the beautiful homely atmosphere, and the smiling young waiters. And there is everything a traveler needs! I really liked the cafe, but in the evening, on the way back, I couldn't get into it - there were no empty seats, although the cafe halls are quite spacious. Apparently, we weren't the only ones who appreciated this pleasant place. We will definitely visit Cornflower on our next visit to Minsk.
I really liked the cafe! Cozy, delicious, a large selection of local dishes. We tried a lot: pancakes, baked dumplings, meat, zeppelins, cottage cheese dessert (well, very tasty!), cabbage soup. There is a queue, especially in the evening, but not long to wait, we were quickly seated at the table both times.
I highly recommend it! Although later the locals told us that the Cornflowers contain pancakes in frozen billets that are brought from somewhere. Maybe the restaurant itself will explain whether this is true or not?
IT'S A GREAT PLACE WITH A GREAT LOCATION, I'VE BEEN THERE MORE THAN ONCE AND I'VE ALWAYS BEEN VERY SATISFIED. THE ROOMS ARE ALWAYS CLEAN, NICE, TIDY, AND HAVE A COMFORTABLE ATMOSPHERE. THE STAFF IS VERY POLITE, ATTENTIVE AND ENDEARING.THE DISHES ARE ALWAYS PREPARED WITH FRESH AND HIGH-QUALITY PRODUCTS.EVERYTHING IS ALWAYS VERY TASTY, BEAUTIFUL AND MOUTH-WATERING SERVING.! WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN SATISFIED, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
Yes. You can and should go here. Firstly, there are the best Draniki in Minsk and the surrounding area, and secondly, everything is very tasty here. The price-quality ratio is good. My daughter and I arrived in Minsk, according to reviews we found a coffee shop and stomped to it km from the train station. We just walked along Independence Avenue and noticed that in the morning the cafe was already filled with people (and this is a good sign). As a result, we didn't like the cafe we were going to at all, but we returned to Cornflowers for lunch with friends. There were a lot of us, and everyone was satisfied. By the way, then we went to another restaurant of this chain, and we liked it a little less. Apparently, there is a good chef here at the moment.
An ideal family cafe chain in Minsk.
Price-quality - fire ratio! There are many dishes of national cuisine. Almost everything is very tasty. And we've tried a lot of dishes! The portions are decent. The menu is varied. The waiters are friendly and competent. My husband, 2 children, and I have been to other establishments in the city, but I loved this one the most! I sincerely recommend it to everyone!
A great restaurant with a good selection of local dishes! Pleasant environment. Polite staff. The price tag is very democratic, and the portions are huge! I recommend you to visit! But a tip: it's better to go in advance or book a table, because there's even a live queue for seats. A very popular place. On a day off, my friend and I stood in line for 10-15 minutes at the table and it was lucky
The Cornflowers restaurant has forever sunk into my heart, just like Minsk itself!
Very tasty! Very cozy! Very friendly!
I liked everything!!!
If you are visiting Minsk, be sure to visit this corner of Belarusian cuisine!
It warms in every sense of the word!
Everyone will be able to find something for themselves to their liking and of course to their taste!!!
Thanks to all the "Cornflowers" of this wonderful restaurant!
I recommend it!!!
What can I say, friends, "Cornflowers" is the calling card of the national Belarusian cuisine. Delicious. Nicely. Acceptable. The well-trained staff of the institution, well-created atmosphere, good music.
The only thing that I would like to be done at the modern level is to call the waiters via a radio button. So that you no longer have to look out / wave your hands / or get up-approach them on your own. And it will be quite a fairy tale!
Cornflowers were pleased with the warmth, comfort, bright atmosphere, pleasant Belarusian music and attentive waiters.
I liked the "Yuletide" pancakes, a large portion of salad with mozzarella and dried tomatoes (very tasty!), a light cherry pie did not burden an already well-filled stomach, rich and warming Red mulled wine (with red wine), and green tea.
For all 57 Belarusian rubles. I consider the price reasonable. Everything is delicious and there is no heaviness after a hearty lunch)) Thank you, you made me happy!
As a guest of the capital, I think this is an excellent restaurant. Delicious! Fast and sincere! Cappuccino is hot!)) The tinctures are very tasty!! I wanted to take my friends with me and treat them at home, but it turns out you can't take them out (((. Otherwise, everything is great! The world's most delicious cabbage soup with cranberries!!! I'm not a fan of cabbage soup at all, but THESE! Something! Bravo to the cook! At least for their sake, I want to return to Minsk)))
Delicious dishes, beautifully served. The interior is in the Belarusian folk style. Cozy halls on the lower level, where you can take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city center. Conveniently, there is parking nearby. On Sunday, before 12, I managed to park right next to the establishment. I recommend it to the guests of the city and the country as a fairly budget, but tasty and cozy place.
Be in the institution twice. The first time was just fine, everything was delicious, served quickly. The price/quality ratio is also great.
The next day they wanted to come back again. There's a big queue at the entrance, well, we think, okay, we'll take it with us, but it wasn't there. We are told that for a takeaway order, we need to stand in line and sit at a table. The question arises - why, if we are not going to sit? Is it so difficult to accept an order?
In this regard, a minus point
Great restaurant! We came to lunch three times and always left satisfied, well-fed and tipsy!
Excellent service by polite very young guys and girls. The constant queue at the entrance is moving very actively and takes up to 10 minutes maximum waiting time. Cozy interior, comfortable furniture.
All kinds of draniki are delicious. Borscht and cabbage soup are excellent and rich. The bacon is gorgeous, and the pickles are interesting. The zepellins were also highly appreciated by us, as were the sausages with stewed cabbage. A very unusual recipe for kvass. Something between a braga and a dark beer is a very amateur drink.
Morse, however, was quite good.
On Sunday, judging by the number of people with suitcases, many, like us, stopped by the path for a good drink and snack, which only confirms the high quality of these Cornflowers. For such a high-quality meal and portion size, the prices are very modest, even with alcohol, the final bill turned out to be quite small.
Maximum recommendation!
A wonderful place like all the other restaurants of the chain, a pleasant atmosphere, a national menu, very tasty dishes, and especially desserts.
BUT there are also minor disadvantages, tables are not booked, it is not clear why, and there is almost always a queue at the entrance, because the rooms are not large, and there are probably a lot of people who want to.
In general, being in Minsk is a must-visit!!!
A must-visit!!! Perhaps the best institution of national cuisine in terms of price-quality-assortment ratio! And the tinctures here seemed to us the most delicious - there is only a choice of 6 names, but it's worth trying each one, and everyone will find "their own"!
We have been to this particular cafe twice (8-10 times online in different cities) - everything is very tasty everywhere (plus or minus), it is better to book a table in advance (especially for the evening), but no later than a day before the visit. In this institution, the service is at a very high level (unlike Grodno, where dirty dishes were not removed from the tables for hours - apparently there is not enough staff). The interior is different - in some establishments it is modern, in some it has a national flavor. Both are here (on different floors). We really liked the assorted dumplings, potato grandmother, ribs (the knuckle was a little greasy, and the ribs were super!), from desserts, the leaves are good (apple filling without a single "membrane-bone)!!!
We will definitely come back, thank you.
The Vasilki restaurant offers a rich variety of Belarusian dishes. The food is very tasty! Beef medallions, pancakes with machanka, salad with tongue, fried mozzarella, mulled wine based on cranberries - everything deserves the approval of the chefs' skill. Of the minuses, I note that, apparently, the administrator does not care about checking cleanliness. Unfortunately, the pleasant impressions were greatly smoothed out by dirty toilet doors, a stained mirror, sticky and unwashed tables. Used napkins are lying on the floor, and the waiters just step over. The lamp above the table does not work. The boards on which the dishes were served are dirty. There is no desire to visit this place again!
We have been here 3 times in 3 days. It's a great place. All the staff are very good: the waiters are all very polite, I really wanted to drink and brought some water for free. The food is delicious, the portions are large. I recommend, of course, draniki, I really liked grandma's mushroom soup (you can't pull your ears off mushroom lovers), tinctures, just like homemade ones. The prices are very pleasant, the two of us to eat and drink only averaged 2000 rubles. Of Russia. It's a great place.
A lot has already been written about this institution. A wonderful network, delicious food, served by cute girls and boys in beautiful national clothes. I noticed for myself - fast service and serving of dishes (even when fully seated), all the dishes are beautifully decorated and very tasty. We stopped by for lunch and breakfast.
But it is not always possible to sit down right away, since the center is crowded, and the institution is in high demand, it is possible to observe the queue at the entrance.
A great place with lots of seats and a national flavor. I really like machanka with pancakes (a traditional Belarusian dish) here - although the recipe has been changed a bit lately. I give 5 points to this particular restaurant for the atmosphere, speed and quality of serving dishes. In general, the Cornflowers chain would put 4/4- because in a number of establishments there are questions about the service (indecently long waiting for dishes; they may not bring your order or make a mistake with the order as a whole, etc.)
The restaurant of national cuisine, I highly recommend it to those who have come to relax. National music in the institution adds atmosphere! Food and drinks 10/10, a huge selection, everything is very tasty and served quickly, despite the fact that the hall is often completely filled. There is a queue at the entrance, it is better to book, but we queued for no more than 5 minutes, in any case it's worth it!
Well, what can I say? Delicious, fast, affordable, high-quality.
We visited the Cornflowers cafe and were satisfied. The dishes were brought quickly, the waiter advised competently, and did not impose anything additionally. He was moderately polite and joked at random. He has a separate star) As for the kitchen, I liked everything, especially the pancakes with mushrooms, it's just chanterelle season. Draniki with machanka is an exceptionally traditional dish, I did not go in, draniki are sour in this dish and machanka is for an amateur, I would not order it a second time, but even so, the quality of the products is excellent, everything is fresh and very decent in itself. The interior is in the classic style of Minsk,
My review is a little ambiguous! I won't say good, I won't say bad. For the first time in Belarus. Of course, I want the most-the most atmospheric!!! I read
reviews - be sure to visit Cornflowers!!! Here we arrived at 10 a.m., and by two o'clock in the afternoon, of course, for lunch in Cornflowers!!!
Excellent location, unobtrusively quiet music is playing. The menu is mmm.
And now the most interesting thing begins... September 23rd is Monday, not even a day off. There are a lot of visitors, it's great, but.... Of course, thanks to the owners for the great idea, thanks to the staff (young boys and girls)
and of course to the chefs who really try to cope... But the flow of visitors is too large for such a large number of staff. They simply do not have time to feed us such willing people who came here! It is for the national atmosphere!!! Question: Where is the manager? Or the administrator? Everything is just left to chance! The staff is excellent, but they can't cope with such an influx, hence the chaos, dirty tables, and orders that you just forgot to bring or fry🤣
In short, a great place, great staff! And even a good manager, then you can put all 10 stars!!!
I have been several times and always on 5/5. Excellent location - in the city center. Very tasty and hearty dishes, especially pancakes. The service is 5/5 , they suggested what to try from different dishes of national cuisine.the atmosphere is amazing and, most importantly, reasonable prices! I recommend you to visit!
To get acquainted with the cuisine of the Republic of Belarus, to eat pancakes and other dishes cooked very tasty and obviously from fresh products, the place is ideal. The waiters are polite and attentive. The place left a very positive impression! I can safely recommend it for those who are new to Belarus and want to get acquainted with the local cuisine.
A very nice and delicious place!
The food is at the highest level🍽️
The knuckle is divine, big, satisfying, I recommend it to everyone. Also, the national dish is draniki with a sponge🤌🏼👍🏼
The pleasant beautiful interior, the music immerses in the atmosphere, the staff is friendly.
The place is popular, on the evening of the weekend I had to wait a little in line.
A good chain restaurant "Vasilki", which will present a rich variety of dishes of Belarusian cuisine. The food is delicious and the price is not expensive.
The service at this point is good, the staff is friendly, if necessary, they will help with advice. The dishes arrived quickly.
The location is very convenient, it is located in the center, where you can take a walk after a hearty lunch or dinner.
A good cafe chain in Minsk. Reasonable prices, cozy interior, cleanliness and order. Excellent service. Fast, organized. Dishes of national cuisine - pancakes, dumplings, dumplings, a lot of meat dishes. In four days in Minsk, we had lunch twice in two different Cornflowers. I liked both of them. Let's come back again!
A wonderful idea with local cuisine and a nice interior. Affordable prices, delicious food, and therefore a huge number of people who want to eat here. The order was accepted quickly, but it was completed within 30-40 minutes for hot dishes. Drinks were brought quickly, and in order not to sit without food, you need to order snacks or salads. They took draniki, of course, with various additions. I do not know what they should be in the original, but these are pancakes with potatoes added. There is a lot of flour, I would prefer more potatoes in the composition. Delicious, satisfying. It is possible to make your own impression only by personally visiting the cafe. And of course, for the tourist season, you need to increase the number of chefs.
Excellent, atmospheric, cozy cafe!!! We came to Minsk for the holidays, had breakfast there every day, and the food was sooo delicious!!!! The main menu is gorgeous, varied, the portions are large, the serving is 30 minutes somewhere. The staff is friendly and courteous! I recommend this cafe to everyone, you will be satisfied!!!!
A great place, atmospheric, delicious, authentic. We went here all the time during our stay in Minsk. The prices are reasonable, and the national flavor is felt. True, there is always a full landing, sometimes you had to wait, but this only confirms the popularity of this institution.
Definitely the top eatery in Minsk. All my friends who come to Minsk for work prefer to have breakfast and lunch here.
Very tasty, fast cooking, fast service, pleasant prices.
You should only know that the place is extremely popular and in the evenings you can not get here.
A great place with reasonable prices and incredibly delicious Belarusian food! I have never tasted such delicious potatoes in different versions. Feast of the soul and stomach
It is better to take several large dishes for two in order to try more.
Dumplings with ham in cream sauce are just top, and zeppelins are generally a love for the century
We will definitely come back when we are in Minsk again!
Special thanks to the waiter Shamsutdin for his attention and advice
The atmosphere is pleasant, as if it were national... There are a lot of people, the price tag is average. They bring it quickly. Draniki are delicious. Sauerkraut soup with a hangover, generally super! The national cuisine is right on top. But the caesar was served - so-so, the chicken is dry, the cheese does not look like parmesan, the salad is fresh, but as if it was chopped with an axe, in the center there is a slap of sauce (obviously with mayonnaise). In short, the national cuisine is good, Caesar is on 3.
A great place to visit with the whole family, or just to chat and have a delicious meal with friends. The food is impeccable, pancakes, borscht, I highly recommend trying it. Polite staff and cultural staff. Beautiful interior and friendly atmosphere. I definitely recommend you to visit.
A network of Belarusian restaurants with national cuisine. Fans of draniki fly in! We liked everything so much that we visited Cornflowers in Minsk and Vitebsk. Delicious, satisfying, inexpensive! Definitely like it! If you're hungry, dear traveler, come to Cornflowers!
A wonderful chain restaurant in the center of Minsk, traditional Belarusian cuisine, everything is fresh, delicious, excellent service. We have been there three times and were delighted. Accept the Mir card, Sberbank Pay. I sincerely recommend it to all the guests of Minsk!
In every article and travel guides in Minsk, they advise you to go to Cornflowers. My family and I decided to visit this institution on our first day of arrival. The cafe is located in the center, so the queue is lined up on the street, I advise you to book a table in advance. We stood in the queue for 15-20 minutes. The waiters in the establishment are as polite and responsive as possible. The interior is very pleasant, it feels like you are sitting in a restaurant, not in a cafe. The menu is large, everyone will find something to choose for themselves. The soups were delicious, the pancakes were not very pleasant, the tinctures were very average in taste, like the rest of the drinks, desserts are generally a weak point, it is better not to order them. The prices are very pleasant, I think this is the main advantage. But if you want to try delicious national Belarusian cuisine, then I advise you to look for other places
A chain cafe . The room is large, cozy, stylized with national ornaments. Unobtrusive music . The staff is young, they serve very quickly. Everyone is polite and smiling . The menu is large , the cuisine is Belarusian . The prices are affordable, alcohol is inexpensive. The food is very tasty and satisfying. Everything is hot and fresh.
We visited this restaurant several times, it is always very tasty, excellent serving of national dishes, large portions and very satisfying, the waiters are great, fast serving, there are often queues at the entrance at lunchtime, but not very long to wait.
I really liked the menu, very affordable prices. The staff is as friendly as possible (Anya, low bow for patience and care). Great atmosphere. Cook as quickly as possible for dishes that require baking. A good set of beers and tinctures. The world accepts cards. I highly recommend it
