Cantina de pe strada Spicului

A small canteen on Spicului Street, in the Schinoasa area of the Telecentru district; on Google it appears under the Russian name «Столовая дальнобойщиков», meaning the long-haul drivers' canteen, and the surrounding industrial area explains the clientele. The format is the classic canteen one, with food cooked daily and served on a tray: soups and borscht, mains with a side, simple salads, home-style Moldovan cooking. You can eat in or take food away. There is no website and no signage visible from a distance — several guests write that it is easy to drive straight past.

Google reviews show that customers are highly satisfied, though there are not many reviews yet. Three points recur: the taste of genuinely home-style cooking, large portions, and fast service, which matters to people stopping between trips. A fourth theme, mentioned by several visitors, is the atmosphere — clean, modest, described by one guest as slightly rustic — and the mixed clientele, from drivers to people working nearby. No negative reviews appear in the published selection. If you want to try it, come at lunchtime: the choice of dishes is wider while the kitchen has just put out fresh food.
