Located in the pedestrian street in downtown Chisinau, Daizy restaurant “transports” diners to a sandy desert with an island bar, an open kitchen and a Japanese grill – the core of the kitchen.

The atmosphere inside immerses us in the centuries-old past and the aesthetics of a hot sun-drenched savanna.

In the large space of the restaurant, the designers have incorporated warm concrete tones to balance the warmth of the wood.

Its interior is inspired by infinitely diverse forms of nature and modern art, evoking Nowstalgia – nostalgia for the Present, instead of the Past.

The futuristic sculptures and bright blue lamps fill the space with theatricality and magic, while the textures of the surfaces create sensations at fingertips when touched.

To complete the aesthetic, muted palettes and stylized plates and abstract paintings were used to convey identity and connection with nature.
