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.
On February 26, 2024, my husband and I visited this wonderful cafe.
Absolutely amazing place!
We were delighted. The interior is cozy and stylish, creating the perfect atmosphere for a romantic dinner or a meeting with friends, a family dinner.
The staff was attentive and friendly. I would especially like to mention the waiter Pavel, who professionally orients himself into me, suggested me in the choice of dishes.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.
You can write a lot of 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.
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.
It's a great place. Very tasty dishes. We were a company of five people. Everyone, without exception, liked it. The prices are affordable, considering the location of the passport. The portions are huge! The staff is friendly. You can sit both inside the cafe and on the outdoor terrace. If I ever come to Minsk again, I will definitely visit this cafe!👍👍👍
A cozy cafe. Very tasty food at very low prices, and even in the city center!!! The staff is very cool. Attentive. Polite. He tries to fulfill all the wishes of the client. It is very convenient that the large hall for corporate parties and events is separated from the common room. This allows you to comfortably communicate with friends.
Atmospheric interior. The waiters are nimble and polite. Good cuisine. I especially liked the wizards. Belarusian beer is of very decent quality. Tinctures are not bad. Prices are not biting for the center of Minsk. In general, if you want to taste good Belarusian cuisine, then I heartily recommend visiting this place.
We came from Moscow to Belarus for the NG holidays. I found the top 10 places where you can eat in Minsk on the Internet and the restaurant "Yankee's" was one of them. We decided to come here for dinner.
Positive: It was delicious for me. I ordered chicken breast with cheese and mushrooms. I threw away the cheese cap, but the breast was delicious. Only very thin. The pancakes are greasy, but delicious.
The young man did not like it, he ordered pork (steak). I haven't tried it, I can't add anything from myself. But I liked his borscht, rich and with pieces of meat.
Cons: the place is not cozy, it resembles some kind of pub. The morse was brought cold, it was not very pleasant to drink. I didn't like the dishes. They bring only one device for each, i.e. if I ate the pancakes and they bring me the breast, I need to have time to pick up the fork and knife before they are taken away and eat dirty. Long service time.
I'm not going back there a second time.
A cozy basement with a pleasant interior. Delicious local cuisine, good local beer and mulled wines. The service is at a good level. A great option if you want to sit in a cozy, intimate atmosphere or if there is no place in the Cornflowers
Excellent menu and serving! Everything is very tasty. Belarusian cuisine is the most Belarusian! I recommend it to everyone who will be in Minsk. The location is also very convenient, in the center, accessible. We liked everything. Both the menu and the serving. Thanks!!!
A very decent cafe. A pleasant hunting-style interior. Delicious Belarusian dishes. Fast and courteous service. It was daytime, but almost all the tables were occupied. You probably won't get here in the evening and on weekends without an appointment.
A great place for lunch or dinner. I highly recommend potato babka and solyanka! Courteous staff, pleasant prices, convenient location if you rent an apartment in the center. The place has a pleasant atmosphere. But the main thing is that the food here is very tasty!
Very tasty! The dishes are large and hearty in volume. However, the hall is a little dark. But it creates a feeling of solitude. The interior is folklore and cozy. The musical accompaniment is unobtrusive and calm. Overall, it's a great cafe!
I really liked this cafe. Delicious, a lot, inexpensive. The waiters, young boys, were just great, they oriented the menu, brought orders quickly enough. Be sure to visit this institution
A pleasant place. Everything is very tasty. It is located in the basement, in the warm season there are tables outside.
Dishes of Belarusian cuisine are served in large portions. The liqueurs are interesting)
I advise you to come in and definitely try it.
The best, atmospheric cafe in Minsk. The service, cleanliness and serving of dishes are beyond praise. Friendly and courteous waiters. Large portions and, most importantly, delicious! I recommend it to everyone!
We visited this place on April 8, 2024, celebrated my birthday with my family, everything is at the highest level, the cuisine is very tasty, the portions are large, the waiter served well attentive and knows his job and etiquette. We will definitely come again! And good luck to you and of course more customers!!!
On April 24, 2024, we went in with friends, trusting the reviews. I really liked the atmosphere of the cafe, the friendly service.
The dishes are delicious, they were not served quickly, but within reasonable limits. Everything that 6 people ordered was very tasty! Ilya is a very good waiter. Thanks for the service!
The restaurant is located in the center. The menu is varied, there are many dishes of national Belarusian cuisine. The service is polite, the dishes are not taken out very quickly. The restaurant is located in the basement, the rooms are dark, there is not enough lighting. They took pancakes and koloboks, they turned out to be too fat.
It's a good place. The menu is varied. The good quality of Belarusian cuisine is captivating. The service is attentive and fast enough. The price tag is quite reasonable, especially since it is practically a center.
It's not the first time we've eaten here. Always clear, delicious food, without frills, but the format of the cafe does not involve haute cuisine. The prices are super affordable, the service is friendly. I recommend.
We tried the national cuisine: pancakes, dumplings, mochanka. Everyone liked it, especially compared to the establishments we've been to before. The service is good, serving dishes at the same time to everyone, which is nice. We waited for about 30 minutes. A very pleasant impression
Excellent national cuisine, loyal prices, good service. The atmosphere of comfort and tranquility. I highly recommend travelers to try the local cuisine. And the reviews of local residents say that this is one of the best places
An inexpensive cafe within walking distance from the train station. It's nice to have a snack before the trip. The cuisine is traditional and delicious. Friendly service. In general, nothing outstanding.
Были с семьёй - 10 человек. Обстановка уютная, напоминает таверну, персонал замечательный, улыбчивый, добрый и очень шустрый. Меню выбрали традиционное белорусское: борщ (пальчики оближешь, а за смачное сало драться будешь), дранники с грудинкой и грибами (чтоб я так вкусно готовила), колдуны с отбивной (даже не знала, что такое бывает), сковородка по-деревенски (нежна свинина и волшебный картофель), десерт ("аааа, такое мы быстро приготовим" Эти слова официанта меня поразили почему-то). Каждое блюдо приготовлено с любовью. Подача быстрая. Медведь на стенке:))) сильно выглядит.
Открытие с 15:00
Чек на семью 4 человека: 75.3 Бр
Предисловие. Стояли мы у кафе Васильки, в очереди, ждать сказали 20-30 минут, чтоб пустили в кафе и 40 минут ожидание приготовления. (Но нам же порекомендовали, вот стояли...ждали) Ну такое себе удовольствие.... По локации нашли кафе У Янки, пошли на разведку втроем. Посмотрели меню, в предвкушении заказа муж ушел за остальными. И мы не прогадали, а наоборот выиграли. Спустя 15 минут мы приступили к трапезе. Все вкусно отобедали и ушли гулять сытые и довольные.
Рекомендую! 5 звёздочек, покорили в самое сердечко!!!
The waiters are very nice and friendly. Delicious liqueurs. The food quality is average. The walls are decorated with stuffed birds and animal skins. Our hotel, the Crowne Plaza, is located nearby, so it was convenient for us to come here for dinner. 1 time.
This is the most favorite place in Minsk, the authentic atmosphere, the amazingly delicious cuisine... You will be satisfied both in a large company and together with a loved one. Enjoy your stay)
We visited this institution in December 2023 with my wife. We really liked it. A cozy and atmospheric place with excellent cuisine and fast food.
We strongly recommend you to visit.
We came to Minsk for a couple of days and decided to try draniki in an institution with local cuisine. We read about an institution on Zen in the top of such authentic places.
The situation of the restaurant was immediately alerted - the basement was almost windowless and with an EMO waitress. But we didn't show it. We ordered draniki and beer - neither one nor the other was impressed.
Draniki seemed to be baked by a grandmother without a soul. I can cook better purely because of my attitude, although I don't know how to cook.
Beer is even worse. It seemed that it was watered down, and the light beer also stank. Top 2 Worst beers I've Tried
It is difficult to explain how this institution manages to defame very high-quality Belarusian cuisine in such a way. My explanation is that the name speaks for itself. Yankees (English Yankee) are real Americans, descendants of European colonialists. Draw your own conclusions
Convenient location. Everything is very tasty, large portions. There is a good selection of national cuisine. Acceptable prices. Beautiful design. I boldly recommend it!
We accidentally wandered here on March 9 due to the lack of places in nearby establishments. To be honest, after dinner, we never regretted staying here.
We took a steak, a frying pan of potatoes with meat and 2 plates of borscht. Special respect for borscht, served with delicious bacon, horseradish and a fragrant loaf. The rest of the dishes were also delicious. I recommend the restaurant for 5 out of 5. The prices are reasonable, about 20-25 rubles for the second course and 10 rubles for soups. There is a 20% discount for the birthday boy, which we took advantage of. Thank you guys for a pleasant evening
The food is hearty and delicious. It won't be easy for PP lovers and vegans here, but, as they say, "it's supposed to eat, isn't it supposed to?- it's not supposed to, don't eat"
The waiters are smart, imperceptibly and politely
Insanely delicious!!! The swallow's nest is amazing! The portions are large, the prices are normal. Very interesting interior design, in a wooden style. Attentive staff. Minsk is on the level! Thank you so much, it was a pleasure. With love from Gomel.
A chic cafe. Recently, my husband and I were there. We visited the Belarusian dish - vereshchaka. Like it. Comfortably. At home. Therefore, I definitely recommend you to visit
It's a wonderful place. Excellent polite and attentive staff. Excellent food and drinks. A cozy atmosphere. I advise everyone to visit this institution.
A cool colorful Belarusian cafe. I liked the cuisine, but in the menu in the section - Belarusian cuisine, the dishes include: champignons, olives and olives. I doubt that these are the ingredients of traditional Belarusian dishes. I ask the chief to pay attention to this, it greatly undermines the national flavor. The prices are reasonable. Despite these shortcomings, I put a solid five.
We were with friends in Minsk on the May weekend. There were no limits to the cultural shock of the size of the establishments, people were literally sitting on top of each other!
After a long walk, we finally wanted to taste the national cuisine, and we went in search of pancakes! Fate brought us to the Yankee Cafe.
How delicious it was! The tinctures are top, especially horseradish, the first dishes - we tried solyanka and borscht with lard were just incredibly delicious, and the portion was quite generous (:
But what can we say about draniki... They are simply incomparable. Two dishes and drinks (tinctures, sprite and tea) it cost me about 1,500 Russian rubles :)
I would also like to note that in comparison with other more popular restaurants, this institution is not inferior to them in any way. The food is delicious, there is no crowd queue, the service is super, the veranda, the only thing that confused me, and because of what I put 4 stars, is that, unfortunately, they forgot about half of our order. But this issue was quickly settled.
If you are faced with the choice of "Cornflowers" or "Yankees", choose definitely the latter. Thank you for your hospitality! 💞
The interior is outdated, dark wood and low lighting, of course, create an intimate atmosphere, but it turns out somehow too dull. The kitchen smelled of something not very tasty, fortunately for only 10 minutes, then the smell disappeared. For all the 40 minutes that we were there, there sounded like a very low and oppressive hum, as if the subway was going. I still didn't understand what it was, but my head started to hurt from it.
The food is also average. And not bad, but nothing surprising. Too much fat, for me. They forgot to put carrots with the sausages, although there is one on the menu.
Otherwise, it's not bad, the prices are low, the service is also nothing. An ordinary average cafe where you can go for a snack in between, but no more
The food is delicious, the kitchen works fast, however, as do the waiters. The atmosphere is in the basement, quite colorful, can be interesting.
They are served quite quickly))
I recommend.
Wonderful dishes and large portions, the food is delicious;
And the prices are adequate;
Top-level service;
The staff is wonderful, the atmosphere is warm and cozy, as well as pleasant music.
The waiting time is short.
Everything is great!!!
I advise you to visit!!!
28.11. 2023- booked a table at the Yankee cafe and did not regret coming here.The competition is very big, there are a lot of cafes, but here the price and discount for birthday people have bribed. Everything is just super!We ordered a herring with vodka.Just great!AI potatoes are delicious and herring, and red fish, like stroganina, pickled red onion. I also liked the Yankee's signature salad. We ordered a chicken chop for hot - it's just gorgeous, and a friend- the third one ordered sorcerers - they are also very tasty! The service is excellent!I recommend it to everyone!And you will rest and eat delicious!We will also celebrate the next birthday "At the Yankees" or just come for dessert with cappuccino"Lyudmila Pyzh
Хорошее кафе с блюдами национальной кухни. Очень вкусная еда. Понравилось тёмное Речицкое пиво. Обслуживают вежливо и быстро. Меня не вдохновили медвежьи и кабаньи шкуры на стенах: я не вегетарианка, но аппетиту они не способствовали. И по контрасту с ярким солнцем на улице внутри было так темно, что я не смогла самостоятельно прочитать меню. Оно ещё и специфическим шрифтом напечатано. За это снимаю одну звезду
The kitchen is good, polite, pleasant atmosphere in general, but in my opinion, it is very dark in the hall. It's probably fine for a party. But having lunch is a little uncomfortable. Well-being and development!
According to reviews, it's a cool place, in fact it was a little disappointing(. The cuisine is good, delicious, national food. But it is located in the basement, small with a lot of people, noisy, the staff is not friendly.

A good inexpensive national institution for lovers of Belarusian cuisine. The prices are low, the assortment is quite large, the contingent is adult, suitable for feasts of 50+ and foreign guests to get acquainted with our cuisine.
I can't say that it was delicious to me, vinegar borscht, fat does not chew on it, there is a lot of mayonnaise in a salad with chicken, but for 2 dishes less than 30 rubles, and I haven't seen such prices in Minsk for a long time.
The waiters were not eager to take the order and rolled their eyes a little, but then surprisingly quickly everything was brought and after tipping they began to work more actively. I won't come back for sure myself, but at the request of an inexpensive place with local cuisine, I will mention it.
It was the third of January, keep in mind that there are very few places. Borscht is very tasty, which is interesting, everything is prepared with chicken, I thought that borscht should always be with meat, served with bacon and horseradish. There is trouble with parking, we made four circles to at least get somewhere, it is also unclear how to pay on the first day, it is good to have a bank nearby where you can pay, although the commission is 1 rub,
Уютное заведение недалеко от ж.д. вокзала. Вежливый, приветливый персонал, интересный интерьер и самое главное - вкусно и вполне адекватные цены.
Хотели попробовать именно национальные белорусские блюда. Приготавливаемые здесь драники в горшочке, колдуны и картофельную бабку однозначно стоит попробовать. Порции сытные.
Очень понравилась в гостях у Янки, вкусная кухня, приемлемые деньги за блюда, особая благодарность и хочу отметить это. Сервис и ребят официантов ( очень внимательные, вежливые, ценят время гостей и очень хорошо знающие свою кухню и могут помочь с предпочтениями).
Очень довольны и стало любимым местом для посещения!
Благодарю кто работает в заведении за уют и комфорт!
Отличное заведение, национальной белорусской кухни! Пользуется спросом, как у местного населения, так и у гостей города, поэтому столик лучше бронировать заранее. Уютная атмосфера вежливый и отзывчивый персонал. Очень вкусная еда, красивая подача, внушительный объем порций. Довольно быстрая подача блюд, при отсутствии свободных столиков! Приятная атмосфера для отдыха! Ушли сытые, довольные, с отличным настроением! В следующий раз когда будем в Минске, обязательно придём сюда и другим рекомендуем!!!
