Vegan Phi Restaurant Chisinau
Vegan paradise in Chișinău
If you are vegan, vegetarian or none of those but simply curious about good food, I definitely suggest visiting Vegan Phi. It is a European-style food place that has a wide selection of everything that is fruit or vegetable. Fresh juices, smoothies, salads... and their most interesting offering are the main courses.
When I visited last, I had a vegan bean burger. I had to choose between the potato-mushroom burger, the falafel burger and the bean burger. The burgers are ideal for anyone not allergic to gluten and who eats bread. The burger I tried was rich in flavour, even for someone like me that is neither vegan nor vegetarian.
I was also impressed by the cauliflower steak. The dish is very unique and it was presented in an interesting way. The cauliflower slice was cooked on both sides and it was garnished with a few rucola leaves and a sauce.
The waiters were very friendly and helpful. I would recommend this restaurant to my friends and I would definitely go there again. If you decide to go there for dinner, please make sure to book in advance because they don't have too many tables.
