We came with a 3.5-year-old child to have breakfast, because next to the hotel it was the only place where breakfast is prepared within walking distance.
As a result, we chose oatmeal porridge with an English breakfast and waited an HOUR. For some reason, the waitress did not warn us that the English breakfast was taking so long to prepare, only when our patience ran out and we began to wonder why it took so long. I was surprised that the porridge was also expected in time.... The prices are quite high, but the indifference and attitude of the staff of the institution is alarming. I am writing a review so that those who suddenly find themselves in such a situation can ask in advance the cooking time of the dishes and not fall into this trap of long waiting.... There is nothing to entertain children there, the only thing inside in the courtyards is a playground, which saved us from such a long wait. It was just a shame for the child, who had to wait so long and eventually had to wait for breakfast through hysterics with the help of persuasion to return to the cafe.
There is nothing outstanding in taste, oatmeal porridge is quite salty in combination with berries, it tastes a little strange.
The English breakfast consisted of fried potatoes, mushrooms, tomatoes, eggs, beans and sausages. How much does the hour justify the cooked dish....The big question…
Unfortunately, it is a complete disappointment and only negative impressions about the cafe. I have not seen such an indifferent attitude towards the guests of the establishment for a long time, and the kitchen is completely ordinary.
Great ❤
We only tried breakfast.
The serving, the service, the appearance of the dishes, their taste, are excellent.
Good menu selection.
Pleasant interior inside and out.
It's a little cramped outside.
I love News Cafe for its simple but delicious breakfasts and relaxed but elegant atmosphere. I appreciate the unobtrusive and attentive service very much, I am always grateful to the waiters) A proper nutrition menu has recently appeared - it's just a godsend, I often take dishes with me to eat after a workout. And it is also the most ideal location to spend time on the terrace in summer! You won't regret it, this place is more than 10 years old, and it's always consistently good here!
Great place! We have been visiting this place for many years. Fashionable, cozy cafe, excellent location, pleasant atmosphere, exquisite cuisine. Margarita, the manager, also made noticeable improvements to the cafe's life: a regularly updated, affordable menu from a talented chef, a close-knit team and warm attention to every visitor.
Special attention should be paid to regular festive evenings for the guests of the institution. And A Novelty!- delicious cakes and ready-made dishes for the festive takeaway table!
And the incredible decor of the entrance to the cafe is a great area for selfies - a wonderful bonus for guests from the institution!
In general, we love this place ourselves and recommend it to all guests to visit!
A very attractive place with impeccable lunches! I often have lunch there and take it with me! Pleasant staff with excellent service. A summer terrace is already open, where it is very convenient to have lunch and breathe the air! In the evening , the restaurant turns into a cozy and atmospheric place where you can enjoy a cocktail and a delicious dinner. I recommend it from the bottom of my heart
A cool, cozy and comfortable cafe. I came from Vitebsk to a concert, after which I dropped in here. It was cooked quickly and tasty. The staff is very cultured and polite. I liked it)
We came in by accident and did not lose.
Excellent cuisine, respect to the chef!!!We got to lunch and it was great!! It is very tasty and the portions were surprised that there is a full portion for lunch
It's a great place! The quality is top notch, the staff is helpful and pleasant. The dishes are prepared relatively quickly and very tasty. I recommend you to visit!
We went in for coffee. The smoking side of the veranda is fully occupied. Non-smokers. although it is practically free in the "no smoking" zone. It is a pity that the staff does not monitor the logistics of the guests. Coffee is normal. Bruschetta is certainly not quite bruschetta (this is probably some kind of nightmare of Belarusian chefs), but the pate is tender, fresh and the bread (in a sandwich, not a bruschetta) is not thick and perfectly toasted. Lemonade is delicious and refreshing. The waiters are moderately kind. Five stars exclusively for the pate. The rest is at level 3-4. We wanted to be fashionable and modern - it turned out as always.
The cafe I visited recently pleasantly surprised me. The interior here is very cozy and stylish, which creates a pleasant atmosphere. The service is also excellent - the staff is friendly and attentive. The dishes I ordered were not only delicious, but also beautifully served. The prices here are adequate, which is a big plus for me. In general, I can safely recommend this cafe to anyone who wants to spend time with pleasure and enjoy delicious cuisine.
We came across the place absolutely by accident during a walk, decided to stop for dinner. The whole company was satisfied with the atmosphere, service and quality of the dishes. Salad with pears and roast beef 10/10
A wonderful cafe in the city center with decent cuisine, responsive service and a cozy atmosphere, and breakfasts require special mention, well, very tasty.
The guys are real professionals, they have never upset you, I recommend you to visit!
A wonderful cafe, one of the best in Minsk. Very tasty author's cuisine, dishes that you come back for again. Over the past three months, I have visited Minsk twice and dined at this wonderful cafe each time. In the photo, favorite dishes: squid with asparagus and salmon appetizer with guacamole. A nice little thing that shows concern for the guest, you will definitely get a glass of water, as in restaurants in Paris. Even in Moscow, this rarely happens. I also recommend trying the apple pie with a scoop of ice cream. Waiting for 15 minutes to prepare the dessert will be rewarded with the enjoyment of it. Pay attention to the cocktails, a very decent performance, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic.
Great place, very helpful staff, We got to the News Cafe by accident, and were pleasantly surprised! Very tasty food and drinks, the design reflects the name and creates an atmosphere! I recommend it!
We are outstanding, velmi spagadny persanal, We are patrapili News Cafe vypadkova, I was very happy! Velmi savory hedgehog I drink, dyzain adlyustroi I will name the atmasphere! I recommend it!
Good afternoon. Excellent cafe, can be recommended for visiting. Very tasty breakfasts, there were two times a company of 11 people, everyone really liked everything.
A wonderful place, delicious coffee, amazing bruschetta with shrimp and great ice cream with hot raspberries. The price is undemocratic, but it's worth it.
For me, News Cafe is a measured Sunday breakfast. Convenient location, the atmosphere of a Parisian bistro and delicious food. Here's the secret to a great Sunday morning. Only breakfast on the terrace of the News Cafe can be better
I really liked the kitchen and the service. Delicious dishes, just in moderation, interesting tastes. I would especially like to mention cocktails and cappuccino. The coffee is great. Cocktails captivated us with an original and balanced combination of ingredients.
The waiters and hostesses are very attentive and friendly. We are used to the Moscow service, so some of the establishments in Minsk "surprised" us a little with the service. The service at News is at a high level. We enjoyed our stay with you very much.
We will definitely come back to you again!
The laudatory reviews do not meet expectations.
The tables are dirty for some reason (not only ours), they look very scratched.
The food ranges from pretty mediocre to stunningly tasteless (we took breakfast).
The English breakfast is terrible. Judging by the reviews, a couple of months ago it was possible to eat sausage in it, but what was served is impossible to eat. It was as if it was cooked in a slow cooker, without salt and pepper, from the cheapest minced meat. Perhaps it is worth changing the supplier and sending the cook to the courses, because he could not fry the potatoes in a rustic way. The only thing that could be delicious and was fried was bacon, which is not included in the dish, despite the fact that breakfast costs a little more than average.
Deserved two stars and those only for the work of the waiters, to whom there are no complaints.
Very tasty dishes, the service, as always, is very attentive and friendly. In summer, breakfast is served on the cozy terrace. Special thanks to the bartenders for well-prepared cocktails. I advise you to visit 100%
Excellent cuisine, a seasonal menu with chanterelles is a delight, as well as a salad with raspberries. Quiet place, friendly service. I recommend visiting
It is very tasty and cozy. In summer, the terrace feels like a European city. In winter, a warm atmosphere inside with good food and warming drinks. Be sure to go to the toilet - the interior is like a work of art.))
Pleasant staff. Good music.
An atmospheric place in the heart of the capital. Now the terrace has also opened. Oh, those terraces on Marx: in the very heart.
The kitchen is good. The service is also on the level: they prompted, recommended, everything is on time, everything is beautiful. In general, no complaints. Thank you News for a pleasant evening
A dish with halibut for such a high price has no taste at all, and even gives off fish oil. Salmon pie is not a pie, but a pie and it smells terribly of fish oil, as if scraps were added to the minced meat. Caesar according to the classics is not Caesar, but a mayonnaise salad with croutons. By the way, any of these croutons tasted better than halibut.
Two stars for not including the pie in the bill. I ate halibut from hunger, so it's not worth it.
A normal European- style coffee shop .I took off the star, there's not enough space.The tables on the face are small. That is, to drink coffee, drink a glass of wine , eat some kind of light snack . It's not bad for itself.
I was at this wonderful place last week! I was satisfied with everything: the kitchen is at the highest level, the atmosphere is cozy, the staff is friendly and attentive! Everything is conducive to returning. I won't come back again!
The best breakfasts, lunches and dinners!
A cafe in the city center with affordable prices and good service.
You can always sit comfortably and enjoy the food and atmosphere.
I recommend it!
In the rays of the former glory of many years ago, the atmosphere is no longer the same and the service is not the same. The food is basic, non-emotional, and the breakfasts are prepared quickly. To visit for those who have not been there yet, but I do not particularly recommend it to those who have been there for a very long time before the repairs)
The food is 4+, but the service and cocktails are 5+ for sure. The waiter girl with a stunningly delivered speech and dignity described the facets of the cocktail's taste so accurately and generally accepted the order so coolly that we felt like we were in a Michelin-starred restaurant)))
I don 't know why there are so many rave reviews, there are places much tastier . Yes, of course, I didn't have time for breakfast, but I got to lunch. The pate was not delicious at all , the apple pie was just puff pastry with an apple . But the salmon pie was delicious, but the prices for such an institution are too high.
A good restaurant with excellent cuisine and a welcoming atmosphere. Honestly, it's better to visit, see in person and try at least a couple of dishes and it will be enough to fall in love with the place. Service for a solid 5!
A great place for dinner! Excellent service, atmospheric terrace, good wine list. We were at dinner with the family, we also want to get to breakfast. I advise everyone
In 2010, I visited this cafe for the first time. And today it does not lose its relevance. The same modern, decent cuisine, great guys, managers and waiters!!!
I haven't felt such delight from the place for a long time, there are delicious breakfasts here.
Very customer-oriented receptionist, waiters and a very interesting interior, I will be happy to return to this restaurant again
The menu is small, which is very good, greatly simplifies the selection. Very tasty breakfasts. The only thing is that they don't bring it as fast as in other places in Minsk)
One of my favorite places in the city center , delicious pasta with shrimp , original desserts , excellent service ! Often foreign guests , around the corner there is a pioneer cinema in which there are always tickets !!! Parking - it 's better to drive into the arch !
It's a great place. I recommend. We ate here with my wife for a week. Dishes can surprise with non-standard tastes. The menu is different for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
The staff is polite. Neat. Well done.
The waiting time is absolutely normal.
Compared with other restaurants - I liked it the most here.
If it seems to you that prices are too high, then they are too high everywhere.
I completely forgot. There were the best cocktails of all. We were in 5 restaurants around.
The terminal is not working. English breakfast is simply not about anything, the most delicious part of it is a sausage, but the merit of the cook is not in this. The level of the canteen for truckers is somewhere in the wilderness.
I wouldn't have come to this place a second time. The three of us had dinner, the cafe was empty, the drinks were brought quickly, that's all of the advantages! The food is not delicious, we waited for the order for more than an hour
A wonderful place!
I ordered a couple of dishes, one of which was not in the best condition. And Mariano asked, "How do you like it?" I decided to delicately tell the truth. She took it to the kitchen and returned a couple of minutes later, saying, "You're right, there's really something wrong here and we apologize." She also gave me a cake as an apology, which I didn't expect)
In short, the bad situation was turned in their favor! Well done and great professionals, and mistakes sometimes happen, so I'll come to them again!
