Talaka

Minsk


This relaxed and cosy basement place is done up in old Belarusian style, complete with waitstaff in period outfits and live folk music on most nights. It's a great place to sample authentic Russian and Belarusian cuisine, such as venison in cream sauce, khaladnik (cold borshch), herring-and-beet salad and draniki (potato pancakes).

Or plop down on the summer terrace and order a bread board of their fantastic beer snacks.
