Black Rabbit is an amazing restaurant in the very heart of Chisinau, with a nice atmosphere and a delicious kitchen for true food lovers. The prices are a bit higher than average but the food is totally worth it. The service is very good, the personnel is qualified and very kind and polite.
Black Rabbit is extremely popular, especially among youth; this is why I recommend you reserve a table a day earlier, if you have the possibility -- on the second floor. You have a very wide choice of dishes for every preference you can think of. The bar menu is also rich in options to choose from.
My personal favorite is their filet mignon with potatoes and blue-cheese sauce, they make it simply amazing. All the desserts are very tasty, so it depends on your taste, but I recommend the éclair with salty caramel, a delicious combination of sweet and salty.
