Another great video! You should do english sub titles for when you speak Russian though, I think that adds to the experience a lot

Every time I watch one of your videos it's just increases my desire to visit eastern Europe! Great video

This video made me hungry and that dish looks delicious!

This is very eastern european ! I ate that kind of food when I was a student in Bucharest , Romania . It is not like home made eastern european food ; it has a "special communist flavour" !!! It is very hard to explain the difference of the taste between homemade borsch to communist student cantina borsh. It is not bad or good ; it is just different !!! He likes it because the food there has a "communist taste" with that communist decour with babuskas in the kitchen serving food to students and very cheap communist prices . It is the whole packege that worth 5 stars !!! Maybe now as a westerner you may understand why he gave this good review ...

Wow- Thanks for filming this in spite of the awkwardness Definitely great stolovoya

I like how they eat buckwheat a lot over there instead of rice. I love buckwheat and use it in different ways. Too bad more Americans,( like me) don't know much about it being good for you since it's a seed instead of a grain.

I just found my favourite RU-vid channel. I know you’re mates with Bald, but he’s got nothing on your raw and real videos. Keep it up. Stay safe. Soon I’ll be in Minsk. Let’s grab a beer. Cheers from a Slovak living in London

Hello,Bald and Bankrupt sent me here...i quite like the few videos thus far :-)

Молодец!))Привет из Минска!) Люблю Ирландию, гостил в Дублине месяц , практически обьездил всю южную часть, туда переехала жить и работать моя сестра, хочу что бы наши страны крепко дружили!)

Please, I Like coffee and pastries, sandwich etc. All the goodies! Show more cafe videos I think your food o'clock is a great feature. Yummy. I can't get over the good value for money. You are doing a great job! Love the videos and have to catch up.

It is my university’s canteen, very nice to see this place did not change after many years, and food is still good and cheap. Previously there very student’s rock concerts sometimes, curious if they still take place.

Excellent videos as always. Food looked good.

I like that you show the food and you enjoying it. And it's cheap!.

Good value food there, great informative blog.

я тут каждый день кушаю. супер! очень здоровая еда за 1.5$

Hi there. New subscriber. Really enjoy your vlogs. Th3 food one especially. More of these please. God such a nice looking meal for the price of a small bottle of Coke. Crazy.

Found you thru Bald & Bankrupt ... I am enjoying your channel.

Hi from Minsk. !! Good blog!

Great video from my favourite country! Greetings from Cephalonia island, Greece!

It would appeal to me! Thank you for showing this!

Really enjoyed buddy ,looked tasty.. ps hope you were able to see the Ireland v Scotland rugby match at the weekend. Regards from Dublin, Liam

Food looks good, would definitely eat it, I'm so hungry now!

Very good food and healthy food!!!

Great videos keep it up!!

Cheers Irish Partizan. I've now decided to learn Russian and I'm planning a trip to Belarus on the spring. Russian is coming along ok, I'm two weeks in have learned a couple of phrases basic words and able to count to 50. Cheers fella.

Saying "thanks" "it really looks tasty" gives you away as a foreigner, even apart from the accent.

I'd love to visit Belarus but fear not knowing Russian would leave me in some difficult situations

Thank you for so positive and nice videos, I really enjoy them! BTW there is my house on this one, Beda str. 2B. :) Honestly, we (my family) do not think it's a good place to get dinner, but maybe we have to check it again, as the last time was 7 years ago...

Looks like you are becoming a Belirish... )

For some reason I got really annoyed at not putting the knife and fork together! Must be cabin fever in lockdown! Very nice video. 👍

вот как можно есть и разговаривать одновременно. удивляюсь. детям всегда делала замечание,чтобы не разговаривали во время еды. а тут смотрю с удовольствием. в Белоруссии действительно очень вкусная и качественная еда. живу в Сибири, но стараюсь при возможности покупать белорусские продукты. я и все мои родные из Белоруссии. Гомель,Минск,Брест. давно там не была, скучаю.

The thing i like bout this place is that it looks very easy going.

Awesome video Partizan!!! Love this country and people!! Так Держать!

What’s stopping people from the west from retiring to Eastern Europe? I know a lot of people who retire and move to Asia because cost of living is so low, why not Belarus? I must visit one day!

This is typical soviet dinner.

i live in chile. alot of people think the food sucks here too but its actually simple and wholesome like your dinner there. very nice

Thanks for an interesting video. Спасибо Большой.

$1:50 for your lunch everyday awesome , same thing here in UK would cost 5 times that

That's great.... So crazy cheap.

Excellent! Cannot wait to add this restaurant in Belarus on our visit to Russia.

exchange rate: 1 BYN 0.4246 EUR

I thought I suddenly developed cataracts when the lens fogged up.

Starting to 💚 your posts m8

you have a very cute accent, makes me smile :)

on the strength of this video, i'm planting buckwheat and beetroot this year

One and a half year later it's only 1.15€. The time since this video has been crazy in so many ways.

Compote and vodka, breakfast of champions

Я когда жил в Минске, давольно часто в сталовой питался

Good subject for a video.

The daily meals at my university were mediocre and not even cheap. Sigh.

Mr Irish, You may consider being a food critic and do more in that arena. I enjoy your comments on the different foods in Minsk.

🤤 delicious

You making me hungry by watching this .

That food not cheap or expensiv,its like how food exactly coast if goverment care about peoples,and here is not added extra profits,rentals, its just food price+people who making salary

My EC London lunch time street food is always between £6-8 per meal

February 3 winters look mild in minsk and i'm from southwestern ontario canada which they call the banana belt.

Is there a chest-mount for the camera to make life a bit easier while you're doing things like this? Anyway, it was interesting. Thanks.

The best developers are growing their experience eating this healthy food. And this is not a touch of sarcasm!

I really like the eats

Big Like!

My two most hated meals are borsch and buckwheat.

Make USSR great again!

Thank you . Another great video ! Do you cook in you’re Soviet era kitchen at home ?

Where is VODKA ?

you really seem to be in heaven when you eat ... there's like a climax at some point

Nice one mate,invest time to translate your Russian and I guess most of your audience are English speaking 👍😊

you say the food is really cheap.....but is it cheap if you are using money earned in Bellarus? If you consider salaries are very low by European standards I bet you that this would be considered pricey by the locals.....

add some vodka to compote. Like in Russian famous movie, Shurik's Adventures.

Непривычно для русского уха, уж слишком много раз спасибо сказал) и на раздаче "это было очень вкусно" по-моему немного рановато :)

I checked it on Google Maps and noticed it's close to EPAM

good to know.$

looks like you have the Belarusian favorite of BUCKWHEAT!!!!

At those prices, why would you cook for yourself? Surely must be cheaper to eat out every day 😀

I’m curious to try that buckwheat.

Do that supports put you more at The Vineyards is Clearwater Florida

Tldr it was about r Three fiddy (in belarussian rubles).

looks like Sainsburys cafe

Ha! This time, closed captioning wrote "slow jam" when you toasted "Sláinte"!

that was grand, however if you could also shed light on the whereabouts of Mr Baldr as well as Mr Bald, that would be much appreciated

Don't be a pig, please. Never stir a sour cream into the borscht. Just pinch with a spoon small amounts of sour cream every time you scoop the borscht This way the look of borscht remains attractive up to the last sip. 😂🇨🇦

Canteen Vulitsa Chkalava 5, Minsk, Belarus goo.gl/maps/imti3f1oKGNXkXSE7 This is another stolovaya very much the same as the one in your video . I wrote a tiny review for it and uploaded some photos on google maps a year or so ago I love these types of places

Lol as in eating my grechka (buck wheat) u get one too

You always mention that Borscht has Ukrainian origin (I heard that at least 3 times in different videos). That's not entirely true, because it is a common dish in Eastern Europe (including Belarus and Poland), even more - a lot of Ukrainian recipes/variants went far away from the imaginary original "standard", because Ukrainians colonized the steppes on the South during a modern period and were faced with a new and a bit different climate and foodstuffs. I have an ancient cookbook from the mid. XIX and there are two recipes of Borscht: the local one and the "Ukrainian" one.

Are there lots of these stolovaya in Minsk? Number 225 would suggest that it’s very popular!

Tea or Coffee ?

Do you plan on returning to Ireland any time soon?

Its Diner on the plant in Minsk.

2:00 thought I didn't go specsavers.

What’s the latest from Belarus? We haven’t heard anything from you for over a month. Are under lockdown due to protests ?

🤤..ммм суууп 😺

I hate fruit compot I tried it when I was in Poland. It's gross.

Has anyone ever told you, you look pretty much exactly like the actor from the British show Come Fly With Me? 😆

Privyet, I noticede that you used the word "svilina" to mean pork meat. Is it common to say svilina or baranina or govyadina more than just saying myasa? Thank you if you answer im just a beginner with this language and in a little time i will come to belarus to study!

Посмотрел, и тоже захотелось есть,.. среди ночи.

It just shows that you do not have to run a society based on nothing but profit. My daughter is a student and has been shocked by the price of food in student canteens. No doubt they are privatised and run for profit.

All i want to know is what is that pink liquid in the glass????????

SO can anyone go there ? Even if you arent a student I mean ?

Remember to clean your lens :)

Why this beetroot soup is so red instead looking more like beetroot? 😅
