Propaganda - Chisinau

To start, there are not a lot of vegan options available at this restaurant. The side dishes we ordered would have likely been delicious if we had requested them without any oil, as we were surprised by the amount used. Despite finishing our meals, we felt discomfort afterwards and chose not to return during our brief stay due to this. If you enjoy heavy, fatty dishes, you may enjoy dining here. However, if you prefer a more vegan-friendly option, it may be best to either request no oil or choose a different restaurant nearby that caters to vegan diets.

I sometimes find myself longing to try out new cafes and restaurants and sample all the items on their menus. When I travel, I enjoy discovering special places like Cafe Propaganda. Stepping through the door is like stepping back in time, with the entire restaurant decorated in a USSR theme, even the restroom. The atmosphere is perfect, with just the right amount of tables to prevent overcrowding. As a vegan, I found 4 dishes to choose from, including a quesadilla without cheese (although not quite enough for a full meal), pasta with eggplant, and some side dishes. Vegetarians have a bit more selection. This is why I give this restaurant four stars. The wine was delicious, making for a lovely evening.

I am unsure of what I am expected to mention in this review for the restaurant.

We initially came because we were recommended the coffee and rich local wine selection, but we stayed to taste the food as well. The vibe was amazing, great music playing, and authentic vintage decoration. The staff was very helpful in the selection of vegan options from the menu but also made an extra effort to arrange off-menu treats for desserts. The fried broccoli and mushrooms were so amazing that we ordered another plate to go, the portions (even though it is labeled as an appetizer) were big enough. The staff offered to expand the menu for us if we were to come often. Too bad we are only visiting! We will definitely come back there!

Initially there are not many vegan options. all the pages we got would have been amazing if we were asked for no oil, but I never thought they would use so much. we finished everything, but felt rough afterwards and did not return during our short stay. So, if they really like fat food, they will love it here, otherwise they ask for no oil or go somewhere vegan friendly. there are a few places close.
