One of Minsk's 3 most upmarket and central bar-restaurants (the others being Bistro de Luxe and the Cafe de Paris), Grand Cafe has a beautiful setting, a long bar with excellent cocktails, a typical menu with solid choices – maybe not particularly inventive – and upmarket clientele with a sprinkle of foreigners. Great location!

I personally believe this is one of the most impressive places in the city. Lots of sculptures are gathered in a single room - and you shall know the specifics of the era: Stalin, Lenin, all the generals and marshalls. Occasionally they have some events (cinema, theater plays, poetic readings).
