Café Traktir Na Marxa
Another excellent choice serving decent Belarusian food such as draniki . The relaxed atmosphere in this cellar café-cum-bar is more authentic than the food, but then again, you can't beat the prices. It's also a good place to hang out and have a few beers.

Express Krynitsa
The Soviet stolovaya (cafeteria) tradition meets modernity here in this huge place where all the food, happily swimming in grease, is visible (a pointer's delight). People-watch out the large windows.
-
Grunwald
A great place for a splurge. The décor is lightly medieval, the atmosphere relaxed, and the superb food a mix of European and Belarusian (delicious soups and draniki, filling enough for a meal). There's a dazzling array of inventive fish and meat dishes.
-
Kamarowski Rynok
Northwest of pl Jakuba Kolasa is this immense minicity of market mayhem. Inside you'll find nuts, spices, breads, honey, dried fish, meat carcasses, CDs - the lot.
-
Khutorok
Of all the folk-style traditional restaurants in town, this one takes the prize. Set southeast of the centre, Khutorok has several thematically decorated rooms to choose from, a leafy summer terrace and a menu filled with meat-heavy country cooking (their shashlyk is among the city's best). It's either an 800m walk east of metro Mahileuskaja or a cab ride from the centre.
-
Lido
There are several cafeteria-style restaurants similar to Latvian-run Lido but none are nearly as good. All food (a giant selection of Eastern European dishes) is on display, so it's easy for non-Russian speakers: just point at what you want. Lunchtime is packed, but staff will help you find a seat.
-
Pivnoi '0.5'
Beer is accented here, and as such the meals are hearty, heavy and manly. Their Belarusian specialities include machanka (pork, sausage, egg and pancake all combined into one). The interior is lavish and modern but in a traditional beer-hall style.
-
Staroe Ruslo
Don't be fooled by the lacklustre exterior, inside is some of the best food in town. There are several soups to choose from, and lots of cheesy or mushroomy dishes.
-
Strawnya Talaka
This small Belarusian eatery is suitable for a romantic, intimate dinner amid sophisticated Slavic décor, although it can get a little smoky, depending on the other diners. It's a stone's throw from Rakovsky Brovar, if you're up for something rowdier afterward. Reservations are required.
-
Traktir Na Parkavoi
A good bet for Belarusian favourites, this pleasant early 20th-century country kitchen is tucked behind a row of cement blocks.
