They have a nice selection of wines and great cocktails at typical Minsk prices (€7–12, a pleasant surprise for me). The relaxed atmosphere is perfect for chilling, the staff are good and the chef is definitely one of the best in the city.

It’s one of those rare places in Minsk where you can find food late at night. It’s open almost 24 hours with a short break in the early morning. Prices are higher than average, though in this case you get what you pay for as the quality is excellent. The bartenders and chefs were gathered from some of Minsk’s best venues and restaurants.

Amazing place to have a date or several glasses of wine with your friends. Menu is different for morning, daytime and evening, with slight note of italian cuisine, as the chef here is Italian. Stuff is super-welcoming, music selection is also nice and unobtrusive, price matches quality, so as a result the place is almost full every evening.

The selection of classic cocktails on offer is so extensive that you'll be hard-pressed to find such a place elsewhere in Minsk, let alone in Russia or Ukraine. Located right in the centre of the city, it's a cult place that's so exclusive it's not even just a little bit hip or noisy.
