What To Expect

Markets can be overwhelming — Piata Centrala, Moldova’s largest and liveliest market, especially. But with a local guide, it turns into an adventure. If you want to experience real Chisinau, this is where you go — to meet the farmers who wake up at 4 a.m. to bring their goods to the city, and the locals searching for the freshest ingredients for their homemade dishes. We’ll move slowly through the chaos, discovering Moldova one bite at a time — from tangy cheeses to seasonal fruits and berries, homemade wine, exotic meat cuts, and pickled vegetables and fish. The tour is part tasting, part storytelling, and all about discovering the simple, yet flavorful food locals eat every day.

This tasting tour of typical Moldovan foods was so much fun! If you’re ready for a culinary adventure with a wonderful guide, give this a try. My guide, Elana, shared personal experiences with the foods we tried together and knew so much about Moldovan culture. My time with her was both educational and delightful.
