The ‘Gourmet’ name is a perhaps a bit of an overstatement but we can happily overlook such hyperbole. Gurman is one of the nicest places in Minsk and would snugly fit into any Western capital. The food is good, if not exacly haute cuisine, and includes Indian, Italian, local, and some tickety-boo breakfasts (although they ran out of ‘toasts’ when we visited at 11:00 one morning). It's casual, friendly and delightfully easy-going, and just the sort of place you'd regularly hang out at if it were in your neighbourhood. Menus and staff babblings are available in a sort-of-English.
