Taste Moldova. One table at a time.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Moldova is best discovered around the table. From homemade pl\u0103cinte and family recipes to local wines and hidden restaurants, here are the places and flavors I would share with a friend visiting my country. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eat & Drink Like a Local<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Traditional Food<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Traditional Moldovan food is simple, generous and made to be shared. Start with pl\u0103cinte, m\u0103m\u0103lig\u0103, sarmale and zeam\u0103 \u2014 dishes you\u2019ll find on family tables across the country<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Local Wine<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Moldova has a long tradition of winemaking, from small family cellars to some of the largest underground wine galleries in the world. Discover local wines, welcoming wineries and the stories behind every glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Local Restaurants & Hidden Gems<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Skip the tourist menus and discover the places locals actually love. From family-run restaurants to small caf\u00e9s and hidden spots, these are the places worth sitting down for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
