Being a local, I am bound to acknowledge that only few Minsk restaurants keep good standards with time. Kamyanitsa is one of these few. It has been a landmark national cuisine place for many years now and I still enjoy visiting it from time to time and bring foreign partners and friends here to get them familiar with local food and hospitality. Personally, I immensely enjoy the 4 soups, draniki, machanka, cold cuts and local liquors. Although the staff are not trained as one would expect from upscale restaurants and only few would speak foreign languages, the girl-waitresses are very helping, hospitable and knowing of the menu. Belarusian folk music and the interior complete the right atmosphere. Prices are more than reasonable. Menu in English is available. Smoking inside is not allowed.

Nice place, but avoid it on friday-saturday eves.

The food is great - big portions and tasty. The service is fine. But the "live music" is awful - one time we left the place because couldn't hear each other.

You can pay with Visa/Mastercard/Maestro.

There is a free Wi-Fi.

If you find yourself In Minsk then find this place, medieval decor, dancing, very good food and excellent friendly service, all at very reasonable prices. You will not find a more atmospheric venue. Excellent.

Authentic Belarusian meals are served in traditional dishware, in a simple atmosphere resembling that of an old cellar, accompanied by authentic Belarusian music, by waiters dressed in traditional costumes. I was really impressed by great organically historic vibe and great food served at this place: it felt really honest and authentic. My next-table neighbors were two famous Belarusian cultural activists, who, I imagine, would never go to a cafe if it felt touristy.

This cafe has smoking and non-smoking halls, so be sure to mention your preference upon arrival.

I highly recommend it, especially if you are a foreigner - this is likely your best bet in Minsk to get high-quality traditional food in comfortable and simple atmosphere.

Perfect service and terrible food. The place is completely overrated. High prices for the poor food quality. Don't waste your money and time.
