Chisinau — Where We Ate & Drank

Chisinau might be Europe's least-visited capital, which made every discovery feel earned: Wine Gogh's local pours, placinte from La Plăcinte, and day trips to the Cricova and Milestii Mici cellars — the latter holds the world's largest wine collection, in actual road-tunnels. Berd's is the design-hotel outlier you won't expect here.

We spent our time hunting down the city's best food and wine, from Marlène's refined plates to Carpe Diem's natural wine selection. These 10 restaurants and 4 bars are the ones we'd send you to.
