Review
About
For over 15 years, the restaurant chain "La Placinte" has become the favorite place of Chisinau residents and guests of the capital. At "La Placinte" you will always find the "gems" of the traditional moldovan cuisine, staring from the main star itself - Placinta, following many others which have become a part of moldovan culture and everyday life. Enjoy yourself a good time-spending with friends or family, in a beautiful ambiance and always welcoming stuff. From Moldova, with Love.

Place of typical Romanian food and therefore Moldova as it has a great influence.
Local very large and super well located.
The decor is simple but cozy and with the cold that it is you enter these restaurants and it is very comfortable, there are many around the city.
Super good prices for 5/9€ you can eat quite well of quality and quantity.
The service is more or less fast and they do not speak English.
To try typical food at a good price is highly recommended

Nice service, the waiters speak English, amazing affordable economically food, plenty of vegetarian options for people like me who doesn't fancy meat. I had Coltunasi with funghi and carcoffi as a main dish. The wine was tasty too.
If I find myself again in Chisinau, it's a must-go again. Thank you and good luck.

I am only here on a short stay, and have generally found Chisinau absurdly expensive for some things (like wine tasting) and often restaurants. This is an exception. The food is exceptional and very well priced. The Physillis tea/juice (with cinnamon, orange and mint) is to die for. No hesitation in giving 5 stars.

My must visit place when in Moldova! Authentic, crazy tasty and very well priced food! I come daily when visiting Chișinău (my home town🥰) and warmly recommend to my friends and colleagues who plan their visits for work or pleasure. This is a chain - so the menu is the same in other locations. No reservation is needed as the locations are spacious. Visit the chain and you will love it! Try different dishes every time and I am sure you will find your most favorite Moldavian dish!

For authentic Moldovan Cuisine in Chisinau.Travelling people like me always love to taste traditional local food,this place delivers it.
La Placinte is a chain and many of them in Chisinau.
Great tasting food,fast service,very polite waiters, separate play area for children on one side (very safe), parents can watch kids while they eat.
Also they have a bakery style setup in the middle where you can buy things for home.
Cons: Very hard to find parking in the street, better if you come without a car.
Note to the owner:Security guy at the entrance was rude for taking pictures from the street ,May be he needs little more training to interact with customers.

My friend and I came here on Friday. We ate the food and then they told us that they would close at 22:00 so at 09:50 we asked for 1 more drink which the waiter brought. We paid the whole bill but didnt finish our drink until after 22. We assumed they would be ok with use saying an extra 10 minutes, but instead this older angry man wearing a cap called 'Micha' came over to our table shouting for us to get out.
He said 'If it was still the 90's I would f*** the both of you up now'.
He was the most aggressive man I have ever seen and should not be working in a restaurant. We couldn't believe it, it was totally unnecessary and disrespectful. We will never return, and we don't recommend this restaurant to anyone, Horrible people and toxic atmosphere

If you want authentic Moldovan food this is a place to go. We didn’t even had problem ordering with waiter even though we don’t speak romanian and they don’t speak english because the menu had photos of the dishes which was great for us. The food was delicious and i we were so upset we couldn’t fit anymore in our stomachs as the whole menu looked so amazing and I’d love to try everything.

I have ordered very late, the woman who answered my call was very nice to still send my order to the hotel. The food arrived under 1 hour, warm and delicious. La Plăcinte is a must try when visiting Chisinau.

“La Plăcinte”, in general, is a good institution of traditional Moldovan cuisine. But I strongly advise against ordering pork hand steak with potatoes. It's a terrible dish made from terrible foods. Other than that, I recommend it.

This was a great little spot, not only did it have authentic Moldovan cuisine with great beer at great prices but the waiter was really attentive, service was pretty good. Menu comes with pictures that describes the dish without deception. If you come before 7pm, they have chicken soup, with enough chicken chunks that can fill you!!

Pretty big shop in folklore style, but with the complete cross section of Moldovan cuisine. And all very tasty and reasonably priced - whether Muraturi, communication with Polenta, Sarma, Placinte or Tochitura. Highly recommended.

The food was ok. Nothing crazy delicious or something I will crave. We were 7 people total, including 3 little ones...food arrived every 25 mins... we spent over two hours having lunch. Didn’t like it.... but of course, you have to try places more times to have a more definite opinion. Maybe that day was just a bad day for them.

It’s the best place in Chişinău!
Good service and wonderful dishes for reasonable prices.
We ordered soup, kotlets with purée, meat with mamaljuga, fish, lemonades, cakes “platcinda” with cherry… everything was delicious.

A good place for local Moldovan food, in a clean modern atmosphere. Mostly meat dishes but also pelmini, stuffed bread and local dishes like mama pigs and numerous others. It is very reasonable service like in all of Moldova hasn’t yet taken the friendly customer is valued approach but it is efficient if somewhat slow as all dishes are cooked to order. Quite reasonable prices and open for service all day every day. part of Andys pizza chain with numerous branches across chisinau.

We were very hungry and thirsty and went to the La Placinte restaurant on Pushkin Street. We were served very quickly. We enjoyed the tastiest traditional food in Chisinau! The compote reminded us of the taste of childhood! The young lady who served us was very kind and receptive to our wishes. Thanks a lot!
