Enzo

Sun-Thu 11 a.m. - 12 p.m.
Fri-Sat 11 a.m. - 1 a.m.
It is a deservedly popular place at Kastryčnickaja Street. No doubt, they have the best burger in town (from € 5). For your first visit, we recommend trying Enzo Burger and Texas Burger, if you want something spicy. Also Enzo specializes in steaks (€ 10-30). Breakfasts are served all day long, and they offer delicious lunch menus at reasonable prices. Here you can try local craft beer, have a glass of wine or some strong spirits.
Mai Thai
vulica Kirava 11
Mon-Sun 12 p.m. - 11 p.m.
That’s a fashionable Thai restaurant near the railway station. Burning Tom Yam and sweet and sour Pad Ty is perfect for a hangover morning. Here you can also buy food to take away: it will be a little cheaper. Lunch for two may cost about € 25-30.
Gurman
vulica Kamunistyčnaja 7
Mon-Sun 8 a.m. - 11 p.m.
Pelmeni House Gurman is one of the long-standing Minsk places is located in a quiet and beautiful district of Asmaloŭka. The price for a portion of pelmeni is € 2.5-5. Pelmeni, however, is not the only option – the menu is quite rich: there are steaks, and a dranik (potato pancake) (yes, singular), and even chicken tikka-masala. Their mushroom soup deserves a special mention. In summer they build probably the best terrace in the city.
