Svobody 4 is actually a wine bar, but one of the best breakfasts in the city is served here in the morning. It is located in the very center of Minsk – on Plošča Svabody in the Upper Town. If you want to refresh yourself well and truly, get a continental breakfast or a toast with a romantic name "Hemingway Eggs" (approximately € 5). Pastries here are also excellent: there is a gentle cottage cheese casserole with berries and croissants with blackberries, basil, and cream cheese. We'd also recommend pancakes with nuts or french toasts with berry sorbet.

La Crete d’Or positions itself as a French café: there is a large selection of croissants with different fillings and excellent desserts. There is plenty of breakfast options to choose from as well: classic cheesecakes, cereals and omelets, and pretty unusual dishes for the morning menu, for example, potato pancakes with salmon. English breakfast with scrambled eggs, bacon, vegetables, and bread will cost about € 6.5. But the specialty of the place is the desserts, so don’t miss the Belgian waffles.

 Let it be! 

Where? vulica Kastryčnickaja, 23
Breakfast is served all day long: Mon-Fr 8 a.m. – 10 p.m. / Sat-Sun: 8 a.m. – 11 p.m.
  Instagram

A minimalistic and stylish cafe by the creators of Enzo and Simple, which is associated with a simple hashtag #breadwinelife. Early in the morning, Kastryčnickaja street gets filled with the smell of fresh pastries: all because of  Let it be! baguettes.

Well, one more feature of the restaurant is breakfast, which can be ordered here all day (except for cereals, they are cooked only from 8 a.m. till 11 a.m.). The breakfast menu is not very large, but it's enough: every dish here is self-sufficient and wonderful. Omelets, toasts with fried eggs, croissants with prosciutto or granola – at first glance, it's all-time classics, but each option has its own peculiarity: whether it is some kind of flavored cheese or gourmet sauce. Prices are from € 3.5 to € 5 per dish.

For dessert, we recommend an almond croissant – it is beautiful.
