Poiana Bradului
Restaurant, cabins and a lake in the forest, 7 km from central Chișinău
A meal of traditional cuisine in a forest gazebo, with a lake on the property, and the option to stay overnight in one of the 19 wooden cabins.
Reviews describe birthday parties and family meals rather than a refined dinner for two · the website also markets it for weddings and corporate events. Know before you go: one 1-star review describes dirty tables with flies and bees, and another complains that dishes are not brought out together. A 5-star review that otherwise praises the atmosphere still warns that for parties of 15 or more, orders are badly delayed. Experiences vary widely.
Forest complex on the edge of Chișinău, with a restaurant, 19 wooden cabins, gazebos, a pool, a sauna and a lake on site, on 8 hectares according to the website. It sits about 7 km in a straight line from the city centre. The few Google reviews available are split: some praise the atmosphere and the natural setting, others report dirty tables with insects, food that is too salty, or dishes served far apart, especially for large groups.
