Loft Pub & Kitchen — Restaurant & Bar in Chișinău

A family friendly restaurant 2 minutes from Jumbo Hotel

Traveling in Chisinau with kids? Loft Pub is a kid friendly pub and restaurant a 2 minute walk from Jumbo Hotel, with a play corner on the second floor and tables close enough to keep an eye on everyone. You get a proper hot meal, they get something better to do than a phone.

There is a kids menu, plus safe picks like fries and pasta from the main menu. On weekends we open at 11:00, ideal for a family lunch, and in the warm season two terraces come into play. Book a table at 061 204 044 or on Telegram @Loft_Pub_Botanica.

Eating out with kids, without the stress

Restaurant meals with small children usually end early. Here the second floor, our Upper Hall, has a kids play corner, and we will happily seat you right next to it: the kids play, you actually finish your food, and they stay in sight the whole time. To be clear, there is no babysitter or entertainer, children stay under your watch, they simply have somewhere to burn energy between courses. With over 100 seats across two floors, there is room even when you arrive as a full family, grandparents included.

Two minutes from Jumbo Hotel, no taxi needed

If you are staying at Jumbo Hotel, we are about a 2 minute walk away, at Decebal 20 in the Botanica district. That matters with tired kids: no taxi, no car seat logistics, just a short stroll to dinner and back. Driving from elsewhere in Chisinau? Parking is free and right at the door, and the entrance is easy with a stroller. We are open 11:00 to midnight every day, with the kitchen taking last orders at 22:45, so dinner after a long sightseeing day still works.

What the kids will actually eat

There is a dedicated kids menu, and the main menu covers the universal crowd pleasers: fries, pasta, burgers. Parents can go bigger, from charcoal grill dishes to a glass of Moldovan wine, Purcari, Cricova or Fautor, if the lunch drifts into a slow family evening. The full menu with photos and prices is on this site in English, so you can browse it from your hotel room, take orders from the whole crew, and walk over already knowing what everyone wants.

Weekends from 11:00, terrace in season

We open at 11:00 every day, which makes an easy family lunch any day of the week. In the warm months two terraces open up, while the play corner upstairs works year round, and free Wi-Fi covers the whole place. If your trip includes a bigger family occasion, a birthday for example, ask about the Upper Hall: it hosts groups of up to 40 people. To book, call 061 204 044 or write on Telegram @Loft_Pub_Botanica and mention you are coming with kids.
