A meal on the bank of the Nistru, with live music in the evening and a Black Forest dessert

Why it’s worth visiting

Worth it for the riverside setting and the evening live music. Take an identity document: the road passes through a checkpoint, and the restaurant is only open at weekends.

The story

Restaurant on the bank of the Nistru, at Ustia, in a quiet corner of forest near Holercani. Open only from Friday to Sunday. Reviews say the setting matters as much as the plate: quiet, water, forest, and in the evening live music, mentioned by several as what made the difference. The kitchen is described as having interesting ideas, with fresh, well-balanced food, and the Black Forest dessert, the cocktails and the tea are named outright. The prices are compared directly with restaurants of the same level in Chișinău. There is accommodation on site too, which one guest compares to a holiday rental. One practical thing the reviews flag that you will not find elsewhere: the road passes through a checkpoint, so take an identity document with you. The service is not consistent: a one-star review describes a long wait, food that arrived cold and managers who do not listen.

What visitors wrote
  • “An astonishingly awesome place in a remote and quiet corner mid Holercani forest right on the riverside. Prices can be compared to the same level venues (restaurants) in Chisinau. We only stopped by there for a desert actually so there's not muach to be told about cuisine in general - rather that we did liked 'Black Forest' sweet dish, cocktails and tea that were served. And ap…”
