Mogilev's Coldnik Showdown: Five Restaurants, Five Unique Takes

Mogilev's Best Cold Beetroot Soup: A Culinary Quest Mogilev, Belarus – In a city known for its rich culinary heritage, one dish stands out during the warmer months: cold beetroot soup, or kholodnik. Recently, food blogger Zatestilmogilev embarked on a quest to discover the best coldnik in Mogilev, documenting their findings in a popular video. The review covered five different restaurants, each offering a unique take on this traditional dish. "Where to eat coldnik in Mogilev?" the author asks in the video's opening. The journey begins at Cafe-bistro "Van Gogh," where a 280/60 gram serving of potato and egg coldnik costs 4.80 rubles and receives a perfect 10/10 rating. Next, Burger House's kefir-based coldnik with rustic potato wedges (250/100 grams for 5.99 rubles) earns a 9/10. The author's video shows the various presentations and ingredients, highlighting the differences in taste and texture. At Cafe "Kormcha," a 350-gram serving for 5.50 rubles receives an 8/10 rating. "The ingredients were plentiful," comments Zatestilmogilev, "a nice presentation, though served without a garnish." Similar positive feedback is given to Sen-Saigon (8/10) and the Rest-bar "Bely Lis," where a 320-gram coldnik with beef and potato wedges, priced at 12.99 rubles (7.79 with a 40% discount), receives a 7/10. The author's preference between water-based and kefir-based coldnik remains a point of personal taste, adding a touch of subjectivity to the otherwise objective review. The video's popularity and detailed approach suggest a wider interest in Mogilev's culinary scene and its unique dishes.
