Lovely but pescatarian restaurant - Edit
Great restaurant in an otherwise barren city. Mostly vegan options though they slipped a pescatarian menu to me, as if it was something illegal. I can't smell fish anywhere but sadly, there are two tanks with tropical fish. I am assuming that this used to be a vegan restaurant as I see "Are You Vegan" in many places here. English, Russian and Romanian spoken here fluently. Would be five stars if not for the fish.

Cons: It's not a vegetarian restaurant. Serves fish., Prices aren't the cheapest , Pet fish swim in 2 aquariums

The best almost vegan place here - Edit
Ordered nuggets, falafel burger, mushroom soup and vegetable balls. The nuggets, especially sauce with them are the best, burger is good and vegetable balls are good too. The soup is tasty, can be used as a dip if you order additional bread, very filling.
Read morePros: Almost everything is vegan
Cons: Still offer coffee with caw milk...

Lots of sweet sauce - Edit
Healthy fresh vegan food, a lot of legume options. Differs from a lot of other places because the food is not deep fried and oily. But they do love to put tons of sweet sauce in there. The staff is always nice. Don’t be shy to ask for a box to take food with you if you left some because this place has really high-calorie food.

Modern, good-tasting, affordable - Edit
Very modern and high-end looking restaurant. There is an English menu (or the usual menu has translation) with a wide range of options. The food came quickly and was very healthily portioned! I had the vegetable popcorn appetizer and the bean steak as a main, which meant that I couldn't finish the very large former! The whole meal was very reasonably priced with my only negative being that, and perhaps because of the image, there didn't seem to be any soft drinks that you'd typically expect to see (or even sparkling water!).

Lovely restaurant, but sadly not vegan - Edit
It's a nice place. The closest thing to a vegan restaurant in Moldova. It's a little hard to accept that even with the name, and large neon lights as well as tableware asking "Are you vegan?", the restaurant itself is not. They claim to be is you ask, but when you carefully read the menu and point it out, they admit to selling baby cow's milk, which they charge less for than plant milk.
Read morePros: Tasty and interesting food, Friendly staff
Cons: Not vegan, although reporting to be, Charges more for vegan milk than for a cow's milk

An amazing vegan restaurant! - Edit
I’ve tried food from VeganPhi 3 times: 2 times at the restaurant on Mihai Eminescu 55 and once at the StreetFood&Wine festival in Chisinau.
Read moreEach time I was left stunned by the deliciousness and aesthetic looks of the dishes. They were absolutely amazing, each of them. I’ve tried vegan pizza, vegan burger with beans steak, gazpacho, minestrone, chickpea balls, lemon tartlet and some freshes. They were flavourous, delicious, great looking, not dry, not greasy and not too salty = perfect!
Moreover, the staff is very polite and positive, the interior of the place is pleasant and the prices are great for a vegan/vegetarian restaurant (anything in the menu doesn’t cost more than 100 lei - same prices as at non-vegan cafes and restaurants)
Therefore, I gladly recommend this place to those who want to enjoy healthy and tasty dishes )
