A much talked about and much loved restaurant in the heart of the city featuring a great view of the Cathedral of the Holy Spirit and the river, Verhny Gorod is in the eyes of many who’ve experienced it the best place in Minsk to dine on quality Belarusian and international cuisine in sumptuous surroundings. Popular with locals and foreigners alike, legend has it that one group of visiting Germans refused to eat anywhere else during their stay in the city and insisted on taking the recipe for the pike perch in a clay pot back home with them.
