Bulbashy Restaurant, Minsk

Restaurant “Bulbashy” is located in the heart of the city – in one of the old buildings of the beginning of the last century. It demonstrates how expressive Belarusian style and exquisite Belarusian cuisine can be. Although the restaurant is designed in the “castle style”, all the rooms are different. Two floors include functional areas and three rooms for guests. Only local materials and components were used in the design with local factories involved.

The main design challenge for Interior Design Buro by Alena Bulataya was the almost complete absence of daylight in most of the restaurant, as well as the fact that it is located on two floors connected by stairs. The upper floor welcomes guests. The lower floor is the main one, there are halls for guests and a pantry with goods of own production.

Restaurant “Bulbashy” successfully managed to combine traditions with a modern approach to interior, cuisine and atmosphere. The restaurant uses local manufacturers for practically all materials, furniture and interior items, as well as the menu. The task of the designer and restaurant owner was to make the place give emotions, both from the interior, food and service, and from pride in their fellow countrymen who make unique and high-quality things, whether they are farmers, potters, carpenters or glassblowers.
