Batski

Belarus


This upscale, folk-themed stolovaya (cafeteria) is ridiculously good value in the heart of Homel. Non-Russian speakers can point at what they want, which might include plov (Uzbek pilaf), salmon steak or a classic Russian soup or salad washed down with kvas (fermented rye-bread beverage) or draught beer (BYN2.30 per pint).

Eat indoors under soaring ceilings in the main dining area or outside on the popular summer terrace.
