Stories and Reviews from Our Team/Clients in Minsk, Belarus

Belarus is a small country in the heart of Europe known for its unique food culture. As a tourist visiting Belarus, I had to try some of the local dishes.

The first dish I tried was draniki, Belarus’ national potato pancakes that are fried in oil and served with sour cream. They have a crispy outside, but they’re soft and fluffy on the inside – it’s like eating an airy cloud! The taste is savory and slightly sweet, with hints of garlic or onion depending on how it’s prepared. Draniki also has cultural significance as it dates back centuries
