A beautiful cozy respectable restaurant in the very center of Minsk, with an original serving of dishes.
Everything is very tasty! Borscht with beef tongue, for example: the color, taste, and serving are one continuous pleasure!
We ordered some more seafood (scallop with truffle puree, breaded shrimp, snails in Burgundy, eclair with eel, avocado and truffle), incomparably delicious and beautiful!
It was pleasant and informative to talk with the chef Maxim Stepanovich, a young man with burning eyes and an open heart, focused on the interests and tastes of visitors.
We were served by Alina, a friendly and friendly waitress.
We will definitely recommend this restaurant to our friends and family!

“The cafe is located in the city center, within walking distance from the metro. The interior is very cozy and modern. Pleasant music is playing in the hall, and paintings hang on the walls. The atmosphere is conducive to a pleasant rest and a leisurely conversation. The cafe's menu is quite extensive. The chicken liver pate was excellent and above all praise. The service in the cafe was very good. The waiters were attentive and friendly. Overall, I was very satisfied. This is a cozy place where you can eat delicious food and relax in a pleasant atmosphere. I will definitely come back here again.

A wonderful impression of the restaurant. Beautiful interior, neat waiters and non-intrusive service. Everything is as it should be in the classical sense of "restaurant". The atomosphere is pleasant and conducive to gatherings. Food is a delight! I celebrated my birthday with my spouse and received a compliment from the institution - a pastry sundae of my own production. I don't really like desserts, but this is the best I've ever tasted.
I definitely recommend the place! A restaurant that is solemn, but very cozy.

I've been to the Grand Cafe several times. An undoubted advantage is the location in the center of Minsk with walking distance to the streets of the old city. The atmosphere of tranquility and tranquility is created by the interior of the restaurant, made in a classic style a la the 40s USA. The kitchen and service are at a good level. The dishes include confit duck and lasagna with porcini mushrooms. For dessert, you can take the signature ice cream cake

We came to try dessert with coffee.
Pros: the fondue and cheesecake are cooked perfectly, the pastry chef is well done.
Cons: there is no serving in such an expensive and pretentious place. Desserts were served on huge platters, where a ball of ice cream and fondue were next to peeled tangerines 15 cm apart. Is it ugly and very impractical to smear or eat? Dessert dishes? No, you haven't heard. Is it difficult to put fondue and ice cream in a small beautiful dish, decorate with mint and raspberries, give the guest a decent fork-spatula and a teaspoon? We eat with our eyes, we want a holiday even in small things.
The cherry was a cappuccino cup without a saucer. But people come to you to take beautiful photos. Well, how is it?
I do not attach photos - see the reason above.

Conveniently located in the center of Minsk, a restaurant with a varied menu - everyone will find a dish to their taste and price. Very kind and attentive staff, ready to advise on the range, serve professionally - guests feel quite comfortable. I recommend it both for one-on-one meetings and for company.

A restaurant with high service and impeccable dishes! You find yourself in a friendly, courteous atmosphere in which you really feel like a princess! We tried steak and fish from the main menu! And when they saw borscht with pampushki on the menu, they couldn't refuse it! Pleasure! I also want to mention the gorgeous dessert showcase, everything looks very tasty and I want to try all the desserts ! I recommend
There is a particularly pleasant atmosphere in the hall with floor-to-ceiling windows, waiting for dishes and watching the life of the avenue! A gorgeous place

A very stylish, elegant restaurant in the very center of Minsk, delicious dishes and a beautiful presentation. The prices are above average, but it fully justifies itself in terms of service and quality of dishes. If you want a beautiful interior, service, service, wonderful view from the window, you are definitely here. My friend and I, as tourists from other cities, were completely satisfied with the atmosphere of a chic place.

The refined atmosphere, very tasty cuisine, very attentive staff, there was even a compliment for us in honor of our final day in the country, a very pleasant entourage of the cafe itself. The lack of parking could be a problem, but on the contrary, across the street, it is quite possible to park the car: we definitely recommend it! Very tasty!

A beautiful place with a wonderful view. The menu was pleased with the presence of delicious oysters, the hot dishes were also on the level. The service is pleasant, unobtrusive, and corresponds to the status of the institution. I would like to note this place for myself as a great option for a Sunday brunch or a measured atmospheric Friday dinner

Beautiful atmospheric restaurant, expensive furniture, royal decoration. Polite and helpful staff. The prices are high, but the food is delicious. There was a separate seasonal menu - Christmas. The menu includes salads, snacks, soups. Very beautifully decorated and delicious desserts.
We were in Minsk on holidays, tried to get into this restaurant several times, all the tables were occupied. As a result, they accidentally hit once.
The disadvantage of the restaurant is that instead of 4 cappuccinos, 5 were included in the bill, the bill was large, they did not immediately notice. It's unpleasant for an institution of this level.

According to the opinion, this is a very cool place. But I will say one thing: "The interior is beautiful, but it's not really beautiful to eat." In the photo, the cocktail "French 75" (recommended by the waiter) = not tasty at all, no serving, + lemonade, which tasted like acid. We ordered a crab cake - pepper was shifted, which was concentrated, as if it had not dissolved. The ice cream cake is great. But I will say this, honey cake with ice cream and cream cheese is a great option for an expensive cafe.
The tables are always occupied, the waiters are very pleasant, but our waiter girl was too imposing.
Conclusion: expensive, not always tasty, beautiful places near the window, alcohol is expensive, cocktails are not tasty, the price is high due to seafood

I really liked the restaurant. The atmosphere is pleasant. Everything from the hanger to the toilet is at a high level. I liked the kitchen very much, the service is also good, everything is high-quality but unobtrusive. Great cocktails and sparkling wine. And a nice view from the window.

It's kind of very good! Top-level service: 5 people worked with us, made napkins, laid out appliances, treated us courteously, but I was most impressed when they said that we would have one salad (and casually added "for two") - they divided the salad and brought it in two plates!
Moreover, 5 minutes have passed since the order before the salad. And then they just had time to finish eating as they immediately brought borscht, followed by lasagna, at the end I had tiramisu, and the girl had a delicious free dessert for others. Everything is very tasty. There were round crumpets for the soup - they are generally an extravaganza, we liked them the most.))) The only thing was that there was a check for as much as 200 rubles, but it was worth it, and we ordered a lot: 5 dishes and drinks. If you want to go to a high-quality restaurant, where it is delicious and professionalism is felt, then be sure to stop by.

A little pompous cafe in Retro Paris style
But the main thing is delicious, exquisite, good service
Oysters, snails squadron and so on for gourmets
A very tasty not cloying branded blueberry cake
Decent cocktails (which is rare now)
On weekends they work from 10, for those who like to have breakfast outside the house

Walking past this restaurant, it seemed like a cool place. But in fact, the expectations were not fulfilled. The interior could be more interesting, the service more professional. The names of the dishes are tricky, the prices are high, the portions are small. We ordered a glass of wine, they brought just ice. It is clear that the wine is served chilled, but not so much that the glass is wet from the temperature difference. "Rabbit lasagna with porcini mushrooms" and "Ravioli with potatoes, cheese and creamy truffle sauce" - sounds beautiful, but the taste is ordinary, nothing outstanding.
In general, the impression is twofold. The view from the window is beautiful, the setting and the appliances are decent, and everything else could be better.

Excellent service and cuisine. I have been regularly visiting this restaurant with my family for 8 years now, and I always get the highest level of satisfaction of expectations of very different tastes and requests. Well done! I wish you to continue to keep the brand. Not cheap, yes. But it's worth the money. Good luck, and good luck to you!

Location and interior. Otherwise, I expected more. There is a claim to a good sooooo expensive restaurant.
The staff is friendly, but with a NO.
We took off our outerwear ourselves (I was with a friend). But when they left, they helped me put it on.
The waiter with a smile seems to be nearby, and pepper will grind. But the water was topped up by themselves (two girls), I forgot about my second course. And I had to fish out to find out how soon... they just ignored me for ten minutes. I didn't even want to order an extra glass, much less wait for the second course.
To understand: the dishes themselves require a maximum of 10 minutes of cooking.
The first is shrimp carpacho. If you haven't tried or don't like oysters, DON'T TAKE THEM! I like oysters. I decided to try it. I'm not thrilled! Or you need more sparkling wine. In a word, only grapefruit slices were delicious. The rest is a plate of snot with a taste of shrimp.
The second is salmon tartar. BONES! This is tu mach. And far from the most delicious tartar in my life. I also do not advise you to try it here or take a bottle of sparkling wine right away.
Overall, the impression is twofold. It was beautiful, but it didn't taste good to me. I'll be back! - try other dishes, already meat dishes, and maybe it's just better not to eat seafood here.

We read the reviews and decided to spend our final evening in Minsk in this cafe. Perfectly! The interior is very pleasant, the waiters are all very helpful. And of course the food is 5 points out of 5!!! The drinks are wonderful, the dessert of profiteroles with Belgian chocolate and the most delicate white cream inside is very tasty! I recommend it 100%%

It's a great place. I haven't seen the ratings. A friend advised me. Special thanks to the chef! Eclairs with eel, very delicate with a delicate taste. Shrimp carpacho struck with an unexpected taste in a famous dish. My wife took a steak with mushrooms and pepper sauce. It is very tender and retains the taste of meat. We tried different dishes and everything is at a high level. We will come back more than once!!! I recommend it!

A great restaurant. So pretentious that they couldn't even let me in shorts. But they let me in!Well-trained waiters and a good menu. The pate with edible gold was simply smitten.
There is one drawback: we tried to order food with home delivery there and could not pay for either Russian MIR or a foreign VISA. Only Belarusian cards are accepted for payment of delivery.

Perhaps one of the most "delicious" establishments in the personal rating. Everything we tried at the Grand during our two trips to Minsk was incredibly delicious! The restaurant is located in the very center of the city, it is incredibly atmospheric and beautiful inside. The service is top. A separate recommendation is a "Sundae" cake, and Pavlova dessert - I haven't eaten anywhere tastier

Overall, the place is pleasant. Beautiful interior, a wide selection of dishes, but there are flaws that spoiled the impression.
During a visit to the Grand cafe, the waiter just had to be caught, maybe he forgot about us, it is unknown.
The prices are above average, and the dishes from the main menu are difficult to evaluate. It's hard to say that we were very satisfied. It was a bit bland.
However, it is worth noting desserts, there are no questions in this regard. The impressions are positive, the desserts pleased us.
I'm not sure I'll choose this place for dinner again, but maybe I'll stop by for coffee and dessert.
In my opinion, the price and quality are not comparable.
In general, a strained four, there is much to strive for.

On the very first day, walking around Minsk, our feet brought us to this luxurious place from all points of view!
The Grand Cafe is a restaurant with an exquisite interior, attentive and very pleasant service, and most importantly the food - there are few places where risotto is so delicious (and we are also those gourmets with a friend!)
A wonderful employee of the institution, Anna, advised us on wine and hit the nail on the head right away! I love professionals, we didn't have time to say "A", but everything is already on our table, as we love it.
The prices are Moscow , but the quality is also high!
I ADVISE all gourmets and aestheticians !!!

The expression of Carpe Diem under the sign of the Grand Café visually attracted attention, and after a long walk around the city, I decided to end my trip to the homeland of my ancestors with a meal in a beautiful place, rushing up the steps to Catch a Moment.
- Girl, where are you going? – unexpectedly for the visitor's ear (given the declared level of the establishment), there was a disturbing question from the hostess lady, who was busy with a telephone conversation at the moment when I entered and I, not wanting to waste time, waiting for someone or something, was going to go to the appointment in the hall.
- Don't you have a cafe here? Or did I misunderstand? I asked, perplexed.
- The restaurant! ("the Cafe is actually written verbatim," the author's thought) - the hostess corrected, looking at the visitor's appearance with a degree of arrogance. Then, finally, it was suggested to take off your outerwear and go to the table.
The table turned out to be by the panoramic window, the breakfast was very tasty, the setting was pleasing to the eye.
The only hitch arose with prosecco: Zonin (one of my favorites) appears on the breakfast menu, but if you want to order a glass, it turned out that it was non-alcoholic (how is it? why is it on the list of extra drinks for breakfast?)
And the classically expected prosecco was supposed to be looked for in another menu with a comment that it is more expensive there because it is alcoholic (as far as I understand, the price for drinks is not always directly proportional to the presence of alcohol or its absence).
There was no desire to find fault with anything else, the slightly spoiled mood in the first minutes of being here was compensated by the fascinating view from the window, music, and interior.
In general, it is a great institution and it would be ideal if it were possible to reduce the degree of pomposity of some employees (if the management is interested in knowing this and improving something) or at least so that an appreciative look at a particular visitor would be better disguised. I took off one star for this.

The service is excellent. But the kitchen has a lot to strive for. The dish with scallops is incomparable! I recommend it! The perfect balance of taste. We also ordered salmon with asparagus and artichoke. Disappointment. The salmon is raw and bland, but the asparagus and artichoke are over-salted and overcooked. There is an incomprehensible burnt sauce in carpaccio, besides it it is difficult to feel anything else in the dish. The rest of the dishes were not bad, but also not wow. Desserts are good and sooo big, you can safely order one for two.
