ChouChou
A chef-driven restaurant on Eugen Doga · careful cooking, cocktails people call the best in town, and an interior thought through down to the cutlery
Worth it if you want an evening where the food, the glass and the way you are served all sit at the same level.
ChouChou is a restaurant on Strada Eugen Doga, in central Chișinău, open from 11:00 to 00:30. Its 116 reviews, averaging 4.5, keep returning to three things: the interior, thought through to the furniture and the cutlery; the kitchen, described again and again as being at a high level, from tartare to breakfast; and the cocktails, which several people call the best they have had in the city. The service gets praised by name, which is rare. It is one of the few places in the centre that keeps the kitchen open past midnight.

The staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect throughout the meal. The food was outstanding. Every dish was fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. You can really tell that the ingredients are high …”
