It's a beautiful place!
I had my first date with the best man on Earth here! I admire his choice. Everything was great: the atmosphere, style and design, the soft tones of the walls, the cozy arrangement of the tables (we were lucky, but there was no one else in this room that evening), the service was very attentive, the cuisine was very tasty (although my salad did not match the composition stated in the menu, but the cook heard me-and yes It was a great chance to show my character to my chosen one and that I would not settle for anything less.) the range of drinks was tempting.
Everything was great there!
I recommend
A calm and cozy restaurant with polite and tidy service. Delicious dishes from the meat set, especially liked tartare, warm salad with beef and babaganush in honey sauce.
An unusual and sweet tea with aloe vera. Special praise goes to the Italian olives, which are marinated at the nearby Wine&Pinsa restaurant, where you can also buy them to take away and enjoy the real taste of olives at home.
A beautiful historical building. Convenient location - the center of historical Minsk. Beautiful rooms. I recommend deluxe suites with a balcony. Delicious cocktails from the bartender.
But, there are nuances:
1. Unsmiling and unfriendly staff. The reception, the maids, the hostess in the restaurant... this is the first hotel in which no one greeted either in the afternoon or in the morning.
2. A very strange concept of breakfasts and an incomprehensible procedure for their selection and ordering.
3. The cramped and uncomfortable restaurant and the lack of a loyalty program for hotel guests.
We went with the family for breakfast, there are no questions about the food - it's delicious, but the price-taste ratio is still slightly overstated, even for guests from Moscow. I have huge questions about hot drinks - coffee tastes bad, it's not clear if it's the grain or the car, but coffee, for example, in Americano, is several times better. The temperature of the tea was about 60 degrees, it didn't even have any options to brew. At the same time, there are no options for drinks included in the breakfast price for 44 rubles. In general, the food is delicious, hot drinks are tasteless, fresh food is expensive, we will not go again.
Amazing place, calm atmosphere, great staff. And most importantly, delicious food) it's convenient that breakfast starts at 8 a.m., compared to other places where you can only eat from 10 a.m., this is undoubtedly a big plus of the restaurant. Breakfast for two will cost around 100 BEL.
A comfortable hotel in the city center, clean, cozy, comfortable. The prices are not the cheapest, for two nights about 30,000 rubles with breakfast, the restaurant is also very expensive, almost any restaurant in the city will be cheaper. Friendly staff, good atmosphere.
It is certainly an interesting place, and one of the most atmospheric in Minsk.
Be sure to visit at least once.
Excellent staff, well-honed service.
Thoughtful menu. The feeling of new tastes (within the framework of Minsk) is guaranteed.
These are the advantages.
To the cons.
A small space. Of course, I would like more space. The colors and interior design make the perception of space somewhat easier.
Meal. The portions are modest. Prices are "higher than average". Therefore, I would like to not find fault with the "food".
But there are shoals.
For an average restaurant, I would keep silent.
But this is a place with a history!
This is one of the best establishments in Minsk... How can you spoil a branded flank steak, (which lay for a day in cognac and other cool ingredients and got a light chocolate flavor) ..???
A beautiful serving "on fire" kills all the subtlety of taste and the meat begins to taste bitter, as if burnt.
It's the same story with grilled mushrooms. The taste (and appearance) seemed to have burned out.
Get better, and we will be your regular visitors :)
Delicious. I really liked the waitress. Everything is quick and efficient. The breakfast was very good. I didn't want to go outside. It's kind of homey or something. We also lived in a hotel there. Overall, it's not bad. The only drawback is the sound insulation of the doors. You can hear everything that happens in the hallway.
Nice hotel and restaurant. Stylish! We were in rainy weather and the room had windows facing the street. We were able to sleep because of the rain) no one was hanging out.
The beds are comfortable, they put water on
The cleaning is mediocre (the previous guests' jacket was found in the corner)
The evening service is also weird. They just give chocolates and close the windows) usually in hotels they also change the bed if it is crumpled, and minimally remove glasses / mugs) but these are small things.
The breakfasts are delicious

I stayed at the hotel of the same name for a week and took breakfast and sometimes dinner. Everything I took was delicious, no fault to find! I also went around the city to different establishments, this one definitely stands out from both the menu and the service! The staff is very polite.I recommend it!
It's a very nice hotel. Luxury service. Luxury breakfasts. The location is convenient, the metro is a 12-minute walk through beautiful streets with restaurants. The main attractions are nearby. The Wi-Fi is working fine.
This place is worth a visit in many ways. The staff and the atmosphere. Chef Stepan! ( exquisite and indescribably delicious dishes with stories from him ) The feeling of plunging into the history of old Mensk. Try it and you won't regret it!
It's a great restaurant.
Delicious European cuisine with a strong national accent.
The level of service deserves special appreciation.
A very tasty breakfast menu and excellent coffee.
The food is very tasty, the serving is beautiful, the portions are average, enough to eat. Excellent service, polite waiters. They cook quickly. It is very convenient that the veranda on the street is not located directly on the footpath, so that all passing people look into the plate. Prices are above average, not cheap enough. But in general, the price corresponds to the quality. Convenient location in the center.
I really liked the cafe with a kitchen! Beef bouzas just melt in your mouth, and Olga has great recipes. The atmosphere is homely, everything is very cozy. I will definitely come again!
A great hotel with well-thought-out service. All the issues that arose were resolved very quickly and successfully. I thank the staff for the warm welcome. I will be glad to stop again.
Great hotel, great staff! Cleaning, compliments are all top notch. Everything is as stated in the description. The city center, everything is within walking distance. The breakfasts are wonderful♥
We tried very tasty pancakes here, a wonderful combination with red caviar. Drinks include a soft, pleasant latte and good tea. Not bad desserts (we tried three out of five), moderately sweet and light, but there was no sphere in our visit.
The restaurant has a beautiful design, but differs little from similar ones. The dishes are simple, on ordinary white plates, but everything is clean and tidy, the staff is polite.
A great restaurant, I celebrated my birthday, I liked everything, the food was original with a story about the composition and cooking method of the dish. The background music is not intrusive. I liked everything. P.S. olives, it's just a dump, I've never tasted better)
We came to Minsk for a walk during the May holidays, we didn't take care of the restaurant's armor in advance and no longer had any hopes of eating comfortably, but we were lucky, there were places in this small restaurant with a time limit, but they were there! The room is small, it resembles an apartment in an old foundation, there is a bar at the entrance and a very colorful bartender, a sweet and caring waitress greets and escorts guests. The dishes are served exquisitely, not much in volume, but tasty and beautiful. For the price, yes, the price is higher than the neighbors, but for such a restaurant it is justified, we did not regret that we went.
A cozy place in the city center. Polite and attentive staff.
Thanks to the chef for a delicious author's dinner and to the whole team for a pleasant evening.
A small cozy hotel in the center of Minsk, five minutes from the metro. Everything you need is in the room. Nice staff. The restaurant is top notch! Breakfast is subject to pre-order.
A very stylish restaurant.Great location.The kitchen is above all called.The dishes are very interesting both in taste and aesthetics, the taste is also very decent.I really liked the service, professional management.(Moscow restaurants can only envy you!!!).Well done!.Thank you for the opportunity to enjoy a multifaceted and memorable experience!!!

If you want to add personal impressions or adjust the text, let me know!
Favorite restaurant in Minsk. Centrally located, excellent service, courteous staff, beautiful interior.
The food is delicious, but the portions seem too small. Good breakfasts.
The price tag is Moscow))
But at least you understand what you are giving this money for.
If you want comfort and sophistication, you are definitely here.
The location in the historical center and the historic house gives a wonderful experience of unity with the history of the city.
The children gave a dinner for the wedding anniversary. To say that my husband and I were satisfied is not enough. We are absolutely delighted. A very cozy place, attentive staff, and chef Stepan is just a talent. The dinner was interactive, we learned a lot about European cuisine, the dishes themselves are beyond praise. We are glad that there are such talented culinary masters in our country. Rating 1,000,000 out of five stars available here
Mixed feelings. That is, if it were a simple city restaurant, it would be no way ... but the best chef in Minsk, an application for haute cuisine. Then the demand is higher. Duck sous-vide is very bad. The cooking technology implies the impeccable softness and tenderness of the meat, and, of course, the aroma. The duck meat had no flavors, not even salt, and was hard to chew. The skin had to be spat out. Gratin is wonderful. The flank steak is just as tasteless. Although the beef in the salad was perfectly cooked. Pumpkin soup and other salads are original, the author plays with the ingredients. This is a matter of taste, which is pointless to argue about. Wonderful desserts, but there are really problems with tea) I saw that there were already reviews about it. An excellent manager, but at the same time weak waiters who should be able to recommend, know the dishes and always bring delicious granola with a spoon... In a restaurant of this level. A generous portion of the freshest sour cream is served to the cheesecakes, while the jam / jam is smeared with a thin pattern on the plate and a dried film "reaches" the guest, into which nothing can get wet. Here is such a tedious and detailed review from a gastro-guest traveling the world for food:)
An ideal place to spend time with your family. Interesting presentation, beautiful, unusual and delicious dishes. The waiter will even tell the story and the cooking process of each if asked. In general, it's worth visiting an institution at least once in your life, although it's expensive)
A wonderful hotel! Very conveniently located in the very center of Minsk. From here you can walk around the most interesting places of the city. A real boutique hotel: all rooms are designer, all different. Amazing staff. Very cute handmade bunnies with the words "do not disturb" and "clean the room, please." The room has everything: a Bork hair dryer, a miracle makeup remover, tea/coffee. The restaurant is above all praise! And a very exquisite wine list. I'm afraid to praise too much, otherwise next time I won't get a number :))))
The place and the interior are atmospheric. A white-haired, elegant man works at the bar, which adds atmosphere to this place with a history. The waiters are very helpful and pleasant. The portions are small, so feel free to order a salad, hot, dessert. Eat everything. Men will need a supplement))
In general, I recommend you to visit. Perfect for dinner with the family (there is a children's menu).
And what would you like to improve:
- if you book a table in advance, I would like a parking space for a car to be reserved too.
- Add more vegetarian dishes to the menu.
A balm for the soul of a hungry gourmet! I always go there for positive emotions after a difficult day. We are especially pleased with the excellent children's menu, as well as attentive service: they easily cope with such non-trivial orders from capricious customers as making an aperol syringe without an aperol 🤭
We had a perfect evening. The entire staff was as friendly and welcoming as possible, the sets from the Chef were magical, I highly recommend trying veal tartare and salad with lightly salted salmon. And be sure to leave the strength for dessert with blueberries. You can focus on the photo in the review.
P.S. The interior corresponds to the level of the institution, for lovers of not only delicious cuisine, but also a beautiful atmosphere, I heartily recommend it.
We had breakfast in this wonderful cafe! It is very cozy, pleasant waiters and service! Very tasty! The portions are large! Great coffee! There is alternative milk -which was important! The menu is varied - for every taste!
The hotel is pleasant. The room is very quiet. The interior is pleasant, the layout is peculiar in terms of the bathroom. The breakfast is delicious, but it's too small for a man. The location is very convenient.
The restaurant is delicious, we stayed at the Zalkin Hotel and had breakfast at this restaurant. The price is high, but it is the most pedestrian center, so the price is understandable .
At the cozy boutique hotel with the same name there is a restaurant "Zalkind Kitchen" - a place where visitors get a real gastronomic pleasure, coupled with cordiality and high—quality service. I can't single out a single dish. Everything, absolutely everything is insanely delicious and beautiful. Many thanks to all the employees of this wonderful institution! "Zalkind Kitchen" prosperity and commercial success!
The perfect hotel for me. Excellent location, the room has everything you need, a beautiful bed and a pillow menu ♥️ very tasty a la carte breakfast (can be ordered in advance), I will definitely come back again
Expectation is reality.... Keep the stamp. Or feed such breakfasts only to the guests. For 44 rubles, I want to be worthy of cheesecakes and draniki "from under the knife" and not from the buffet. Actually, that's not it. But your opinion is invaluable. I'm glad I went to this place.
The hotel is excellent, the staff is pleasant. We arrived in Minsk by car, we were pleasantly surprised that the receptionist helped us park the car - the hotel has parking spaces nearby. They did not have to be paid separately. They are cleaned well, the beds are also comfortable. We'll come back later.
The restaurant was chosen as the end of the day of celebration of our 30th anniversary of our life together)! I was interested in the bold menu. To say that this is a worthy end to our day is to say nothing! The restaurant is simply gorgeous! Very beautiful interior, cleanliness, snow-white tablecloths, cute interior things, sterile toilet. We came after a day of all sorts of activities and our appearance may not have corresponded to this place, but the staff greeted us politely with a smile and our concern about this dissipated! We felt surrounded by care! The service is on top! The bartender makes a very tasty lemonade. The salads with duck and beef were great, but when the hot ones arrived, I was really shocked! I have never seen such a delicious octopus! I love octopus and always try it. I tried it in Greece, Italy and Spain, but this octopus was tastier, more tender and a wonderful side dish not only complemented these feelings, but also strengthened them! My husband took venison cutlets and was also delighted! Many thanks to Chef Stepan Ostroukh for such a dish! And when the dessert was brought to us from the restaurant with congratulations, we were so touched, right to tears! After all, I mentioned our date once! Thank you so much for our evening! Now we will look forward to seeing you again! For such a meal, a distance of 250 km is not an obstacle)!
This time there will be more words about the service than about the dishes. Still, the institution has a claim.
I was passing by, I decided to drink tea with dessert. I bought a large number of enthusiastic reviews about the institution. There were few people on the day off, both in the hall and on the veranda. First, I went inside, was met at the entrance by a polite waiter, offered to sit down in a restaurant or on the street. I preferred the fresh air. The receptionist was supposed to take me to the table there, but it was more important for him to straighten the tablecloths on the tables than to say hello and offer a place to a guest. Even when I had already chosen a place and sat down, he passed by several times without any attention. As a result, the same waiter who met inside the restaurant had already managed to come to the veranda and offer a menu.
I ordered chocolate bavarese in cherry glaze, green tea. The dessert looks interesting, I liked that it does not taste cloying. The portion is small, but enough to have a snack while enjoying a warm day and watching passers-by.
The impression remained contradictory, and the service smeared it: the waiter is as courteous as possible, even too much, the receptionist has none. It is unclear in the end what it should be. There are no questions about dessert. The receipt turned out to be for 28 BYN.
Pleasant muted music and an administrator greet you in the halls. There are beautiful Rona dishes on the table and an interior that is mesmerizing. We were at breakfast, the child tried everything. It's beautiful and delicious. I recommend that you definitely come in and get not only gastronomic pleasure, but also aesthetic pleasure from the service and interior.
