Topit Turnat Wine Bar
Moldovan wines by the glass, all at 69 MDL, plus fondue and oysters, on Șciusev 69
Moldovan wine by the glass, 150 ml at 69 MDL, with fondue (380 MDL) or oysters (60-110 MDL)
Worth it if you want to work through Moldovan producers without paying much per glass · ten pours by the glass, all at 69 MDL, per the menu on the site. Come hungry too: the menu has fondue, oysters, Roman pizza and a brunch listed at 10:00-14:00. Know before you go: closed on Mondays per Google, and the bill climbs fast once you move to fondue (380-430 MDL) or bottles above 500 MDL. If you are coming for orange wines or a broad import list, you will not find them · it is almost only Moldova, plus two Prosecco entries. The only thing from the natural-wine family is the three Vinum “Spumant Viu” sparklings, which the site itself describes as pétillant naturel, unfiltered and with almost no sulphites.

“Absolutely amazing experience! The service has improved tremendously compared to a few months ago — the waiters were truly outstanding this time, friendly, attentive, and professional from start to finish. The atmosphere was cozy, the wine selection excellent, and everything felt perfectly balanced. It’s clear the team has made real progress, and I’ll definitely be coming back …”
“Beautiful place with plenty of outdoor seating and friendly staff who speak English. They offer fondue — we didn’t try it, but the table next to us did and it looked great! Another plus is that they serve not only wine but also food. Definitely a nice spot to visit!”
