Tourists reviews
Visitors rave about the Miass Dumpling Museum. It is interesting not only for adults, but also for children, especially at modeling workshops. During a walk along the old Miass Street, where the museum cafe is located, you can look into the houses of the watchmaker, blacksmith, pastry chef, hunter and the house of the merchant Smirnov himself. It is very interesting!
People who visited the Dumpling Museum in Miass were interested in tasting Yermak's favorite dish, consisting of several varieties of the studied food, in the cafe. For some, the fact of its Chinese origin was a real discovery. Visitors are satisfied with the adequate cost of excursion services and a dumpling menu. I like the courteous attitude of the staff, the decoration of the cafe hall and a large selection of delicious dumplings. By the way, entrance fee to the cafe is not required.
Not so long ago, the story about the Miass Dumpling Museum was shown on the Euronews channel. In it, viewers of the European Union received an invitation to visit the original museum. Waiting in the South Urals and Russian tourists. Together with families and friends, rejoice at an unusual journey into the world of dumplings!
