Table 9

Table 9 is a restaurant with a bar and an events area at 34/1 Drumul Viilor Street, right at the edge of the woods in the Telecentru district; it is one of the brand's two Chișinău locations. The kitchen combines three directions — Italian, Japanese and European: pizza, pasta, sushi and sashimi, grilled dishes, soups and salads, plus cocktails and coffee. The menu can be ordered online from table9.md with city-wide delivery, and tables can be booked in advance. The venue has an indoor room with a fireplace, three terraces, a playground and board games for guests.

Google reviews show that customers are highly satisfied. Three points come up constantly: the location by the forest, where the terraces stay out of earshot of traffic; the playground, which lets parents stay at the table; and the way the managers work — Iulia and Sergiu are named by several guests, including in one case where a booking had gone wrong and the issue was solved on the spot. On the food side, the grill, the pizza, the sushi with fresh fish and the generous portions draw the most praise. Negative reviews are almost absent; the terrace gets cool in the evening, but blankets can be requested from the waiter.
