             Place to eat :         

     "The "Yellow Cafe". The budget place to eat in Chisinau where the locals have been eating for more than 5 years. During lunchtime it is always packed. Just queue up , point on the things you want and fill yourself up  for 2-3 euro with soup, some meat, garnishings , salad and bread. Try the nice borshi for less than 10 lei (0,60 euro) a bowl and don't miss the excellent salads. If you are still hungry have a desert for 5-10 lei or leave it for later as a coffee and cake break after sightseeing. An instant coffee goes for 2,5 lei(0,15 euro) and an espresso sets you back 10 lei. As it is open from 8 am till 11 pm. It is also an option for having dinner."

    The central market ( Piaca Centrala ; 7am-5 pm ; Armeneasca- Columna street) has since 1825 been the place where Moldovans haggle over prices for fresh produce. It's well worth a visit for its choice of fresh food and lively ambience. It sprawls out around the central bus station on Str Bendery, and Str Armeneasca.There's always something going on here at all times of day or night.

 

I recommend:

La Taifas
 tel : 22 76 92  ; Bucuresti 67 (intersection Pushkin street);  mains $ 2 - 4;  11am - midnight
 Here you can sit and watch as bread is cooked the old-fashioned way in a wood-fired oven at the back of the restaurant while you're serenaded by a panpipe player.The menu, written in Romanian, French and English, includes the delicious ciulama  (chicken in wine sauce) served with mamaliga as well as other traditional Moldovan fare.
Magnolia

Here you can eat all night :)
