Exploring Tyumen Again: Reasons to Visit This Russian City twice
Article: A Visit to Technikum Restaurant in Tyumen
Located in the historic Knyazev House, Technikum, the first restaurant under Larisa Nevidailo's White Rabbit Family network, offers a unique dining experience in Tyumen.
Our visit began with an order consisting of a burger with plant-based meat, a crab-cake with zucchini and parmesan, a bowl with chicken and spinach, "Sakura - plum" lemonade, and two cold teas: jasmine and chamomile.
The burger was large and impressive, with a mix of fresh vegetables, sauces, and a "fake" patty. However, the sauce inside was very spicy, a point worth noting for those sensitive to heat. The crab-cake patty was filled with real crab pieces, crispy, and dense, but the portion was small. The chicken bowl was spicy and large, but the portion was too much to finish.
The interior of Technikum is stylish but quite dark and somber, giving the impression of being in a basement. During our visit, the restaurant was short-staffed, with the creative director of "Maksim" helping to serve guests.
One of the highlights of our visit was a pleasant young woman who shared insights about the signature dishes and what to try on our first visit. Unfortunately, our order was taken by another waiter who was less knowledgeable, leading to a slight confusion.
The menu at Technikum does not indicate the weight, calories, proteins, fats, and carbohydrates, and not all dishes specify their spiciness. This lack of clarity could potentially lead to unexpected surprises for diners.
The dessert offered as a substitute for mango khinkali was a chocolate cheesecake "San Sebastian" with ice cream.
Guests often note that the service at Technikum is attentive and professional, maintaining a friendly atmosphere consistent with the White Rabbit Family standards. However, there were instances of confusion among waiters and a lack of knowledge about their own dishes, which can be disturbing.
Despite the overall positive dining experience, improvements in menu descriptions and clearer guidance on spiciness levels could enhance customer satisfaction. A reviewer concluded that Technikum is a one-time place and wouldn't come back unless the menu is updated.
It's important to note that our visit was not sponsored, and we went to the restaurant with our own money. The reviewer found the confusion among waiters and lack of knowledge about their own dishes disturbing. However, a glass of milk was offered to smooth things over after the spicy burger incident.
In conclusion, Technikum offers a unique dining experience with a mix of flavours and a stylish interior. While there are areas for improvement, particularly in menu clarity and spiciness levels, it's worth a visit for those seeking a different dining experience in Tyumen.
