An Italian coffee shop, a billiard club, musical lotto evenings and a few more finds — a selection of fresh spots in Chișinău from the around.md catalog.
Every month, new places in Chișinău appear in the around.md catalog — from coffee shops to weekend events. We've gathered what's been added recently: where to have coffee, spend an evening with friends, play an unusual game, or handle everyday tasks like flower delivery and printing. Let's go through them in order.
On Ștefan cel Mare Boulevard, Caffe delle Colonne has opened (or rather, appeared in the catalog) — an Italian coffee shop at Strada Mitropolit Gavriil Bănulescu-Bodoni 148. During the day, espresso, breakfasts, and light Italian dishes are served here, while in the evening the format shifts to aperitivo: spritz, salami, cheeses, olives, and grissini. The venue is tagged Specialty coffee, Wine bar, and Live music, has a veranda and a pet-friendly space — convenient both for a business coffee break and a quiet evening. The place's catalog rating is 4.9 based on 138 reviews.
If you need a fuss-free leisure format, it's worth checking out Tarantino Billiard Club at Str. N. Zelinski 36. This is a billiard club with a bar — the catalog description notes that here you can spend time playing in the company of friends. Among the tags are Pub, Cocktails, Sport, and Non-smoking, plus parking, which is a separate plus for Chișinău. The rating is 4.3 with 72 reviews.
Two venues of the MUZLOTO format have been added to the catalog at once — a musical game where participants cross off songs on cards as they play, and collect combinations to win a prize.
Both places are marked as Youth-oriented and Budget-friendly, with menus ranging from Moldovan and European cuisine to pizza and hookah, so the game can be combined with dinner. If you're looking for a place to gather with peers in the evening, also check out the selection of restaurants for young people in Chișinău.
For those solving not the question of "where to go," but "what to gift," Ok Flora - Florărie online Moldova has appeared in the catalog — an online flower shop located at Str. Puskin 44. The service delivers bouquets and plants throughout Moldova, with a catalog rating of 4.2 based on 502 reviews, which is quite a lot for an online flower format.
Another addition — not about leisure, but about business: Tipografia Artpoligraf SRL at str. Henri Coandă, 7. This is a printing house that handles printing and design — a useful contact if you need to print anything from business cards to advertising materials without leaving the city.
If you're in Chișinău and don't know where to start — take Caffe delle Colonne for coffee and aperitivo, Tarantino Billiard Club for an evening with friends, and one of the МУЗЛОТО venues for an unconventional entertainment with music. And for everyday tasks — flower delivery via Ok Flora or printing via Tipografia Artpoligraf.
