Fabula

«Fabula» is a Japanese and Asian cuisine café on Zvezdinka Street, 8/54, in Nizhny Novgorod. The average check here is around 1,200 rubles, making it a suitable option for a weekday lunch or an evening get-together with friends. The space is designed in a brutalist loft style: gray textured walls with spot lighting create a stark backdrop, while soft armchairs and green plants soften the overall picture and add homely touches to the café. The result is a combination of urban industrialism and a lively green accent. The menu features dishes typical of Asian cuisine. For a starter, they serve a tuna bowl: fresh fish combined with rice and vegetables in one dish. The sandwiches on Japanese toast bread deserve special attention — the airy texture of the bread nicely highlights the filling and makes the dish a stand-alone snack rather than just an addition to the main order.
