La Plăcinte

For many residents of Chișinău, La Plăcinte is the straightforward answer to where you get home cooking: plăcinte (baked pies) with cheese or cabbage, sour borscht, sarmale (stuffed cabbage rolls), mămăligă (polenta) with cheese and sour cream, grilled meat and classic desserts. The menu is the same across the chain, and breakfast is served from the morning.

The Buiucani location is at 202 Ștefan cel Mare și Sfînt Boulevard, near the Circus. The room is decorated in traditional style, with a lot of wood and textiles, and is often used for family meals.

Customers are highly satisfied: reviews single out the interior, the attentive waiting staff and the value for money. There are also isolated complaints about how some meat dishes were cooked — worth mentioning as well.

The restaurant takes reservations, prepares takeaway orders and offers delivery.
