Moldovan dishes cooked to old-style recipes, in a traditional interior

Why it’s worth visiting

Worth it if you want Moldovan cooking done seriously, in the centre. One guest calls it the best of its kind in town, another found it a little salty.

The story

Traditional cuisine restaurant on Pușkin street, in the centre, open daily from 10:00 to 22:00. Reviews converge on two things: the food, described as authentic and cooked to old-style recipes, and the interior, which one visitor calls traditional and striking. One guest considers it the best traditional food restaurant in town, and another says the atmosphere and the music make you feel welcome. It is also mentioned as suited to occasions such as birthdays. The only complaint in the reviews shown comes from a guest who found the food a little on the salty side. Google notes dine-in and takeout, reservations, beer and wine, vegetarian dishes and free street parking, with no outdoor seating.
