Minsk Food & Drink
Eating out in Minsk is no longer the outright horror that it once was. There now seems to be two kinds of restaurants: those that get it, and those that don’t. Generally the newer restaurants are the ones to go for, as they understand that a combination of a fun atmosphere, good food and friendly service is the ticket to success in the tucker industry. Shabby old dumps, however, still persist in offering mediocre food and surly service among what are rapidly becoming novelty Soviet surroundings. Such places are almost worth it for a laugh.
Be aware that pretty much all restaurants list garnishes (such as chips, vegetables, rice, little blobs of butter to go on your bread and so on) as separate items, and the cost of these can quickly add up. Also be aware of entertainment. It’s generally excruciatingly awful and can turn dinner into torture. Eat early, say before 20:00, to avoid the acts.
Oh – and whatever you do, don’t drink locally produced soft drinks. They will make you explode from both ends.
