Sus pe Deal
Traditional Moldovan house with a carved porch, string lights at sunset and wooden windmills in the yard · just 15 km from Chișinău
Evening dinner at the round yard table — clay-oven roast and house-made placinte under string lights and grapevines, with the carved porch glowing behind you
Worth it if you want a traditional dinner just 15 km from Chișinău — a courtyard table under vines and fairy lights, with clay-oven roast and homemade plăcinte.
Sus pe Deal is a restored traditional Moldovan house with an artistically carved porch, period woodwork and a wooden windmill in the yard. The yellow bulbs along the eaves light up at sunset and turn the façade into a cinematic frame — perfect for a romantic evening or a photo session. The hosts serve traditional dishes (sarmale, placinte, clay-oven roast) at the round wooden table in the yard, under candles and grapevines. The place is ideal for a weekend for two or a themed dinner for a small group. The short drive from Chișinău (15 km) makes it perfect for an evening out without logistical hassle.
