The Penthouse Café
Place open around the clock on Ștefan cel Mare, with a terrace and a menu from breakfast to dinner
A meal or a drink at any hour, in a place open around the clock, with a terrace
Worth it for the atmosphere and for being open around the clock, useful at hours when the rest of the city is shut. The service is faulted in detail by several guests.
Place open around the clock on Ștefan cel Mare boulevard, with a terrace and a menu running from breakfast to dinner. The good reviews talk about the atmosphere, indoors and out, about tasty, affordable drinks and about the citrus tea, mentioned by several guests. A couple who came several times, for breakfast in summer and lunch in autumn, say they were happy each time. One foreign guest notes there is no English menu for lunch and dinner, but that the waiter helped them order. There are consistent complaints too. One guest found the mushroom soup short of mushrooms and of flavour, and the salmon unremarkable. A two-star review describes a chain of service failures: ten minutes before anyone came to the table, soup brought with only a fork, the main course arriving without the side that had been asked for and replaced with something else presented as what they had ordered, the bill brought only after being asked twice, plus a discount shown on the receipt that nobody could explain.

“We visited several times - for breakfast in summer, for lunch in autumn. Happy with food and drinks. Happy with service, enjoy the atmosphere outside as well as inside. Will come again when visiting Chisinau.”
“It’s a very nice large restaurant with indoor & outdoor sittings. They don’t have English menu for lunch/dinner. waiter speaks reasonable English & very helpful, he helped us to order. We had lunch there Beef steak, Grilled chicken with zucchini. Food was good & portion size was perfect.”
“Its a cozy and comfortable place. Me and my wife have both spent a wonderful evening at this place. The drinks were tasty and affordable, as well as the delicious citrus tea. We have also tried shisha in the place, but unfortunately it resulted in a headache afterwards. Nevertheless I do recommended the place as a place for a stay.”
