"Marinad" is probably the best cafe I've been to in Nizhyn. It is located near the city council, next to the hotel. The chef created a creative menu based on traditional Ukrainian dishes, but with new, original ideas. The café wasn't crowded. The music was romantic and calm. The light was dimmed. While the staff are busy, they still find time to be friendly. To start, we had sushi. Sushi was very tasty. Portions are large. We finished the red wine and walked around the center of Nizhyn. The marinade was not as expensive as similar restaurants in the area. The atmosphere in Marinad was very friendly and relaxed. I would happily eat here again because of the great food. I recommend Marinad for food and service to everyone who comes to Nizhyn. You will remember this experience.

It’s a bit dark here, more like for a midnight pub, not a cafe. The service is exceptionally good. The food is good, however the cheesecake slightly disappointed me. In general, I would come back and try main dishes.

Завітали випадково: шукали ресторан для вечері в Ніжині, дорогою трапився цей заклад. Одразу ж сподобалася затишна атмосфера. Замовили грибний крем-суп, салат Цезар з куркою, пасту карбонара та телячі щічки з полентою. Замовлення принесли дуже швидко. Персонал ввічливий. Всі страви смакували на столичному рівні. Однозначно рекомендую «Маринад»!
