Cantina, Vasile Alecsandri 1
Restaurants in Centru, Chișinău
A lunch canteen at 1 Vasile Alecsandri Street, in the 40 de ani area of the Centru district, open on weekdays only, around midday. The format is the classic one: a handful of dishes cooked that day, soups, sides and mains, plus a pastry counter, served along a tray line with the option of taking food away. The room is small and the regulars come from the surrounding offices and institutions. There is no website and no social media presence.
Google reviews rate the service positively, but there are few of them and most are old, so the picture should be read with caution. Reviewers praised prices that are low for a central location, and the pastries, while several noted it is the only place of its kind nearby. The criticism concerns the narrow choice of dishes and, in two more detailed reviews, hygiene: a smell of old fat in summer and food brought in large plastic containers. If you pick this place for lunch, come at the start of the serving window, while the dishes have just arrived.

Gustos insa cam putina varietate de mîncăruri

Preturile sunt ok. Igiena parcă tot e ok.

O impresie ambiguă mi s-a întipărit după câteva vizite. Poate ca și raport preț - calitate e si ok. Dar numai din faptul că în vecinătate nu prea mai sunt localuri de acest fel. Vara se simțea prezența mirosului de grasimi vechi. Acest fapt cred că ne vorbește despre igienă. Mâncarea preparată deja, se aduce in recipiente mari de plastic care nu le prea poți igieniza bine. Plus la aceasta de mai multe ori vizitatorii au avut un disconfort pancreatic după mâncarea lor. Va las singuri să decideți dacă mergeți acolo sau nu.

Cantina mica dar comoda, putine feluri de ales, preturi mici
