European dumplings made with LOVE

The Spärrows is a modern continental restaurant offering a great variety of hand made dumplings & pasta of European origin.
Specialty of the house are Spätzle; fresh egg pasta representing a vast geographical region of South Germany,Switzerland, Alsace, Austria & Sud Tyrol - Trentino & Alto Adige of Northern Italy.
The Dumplings menu expands further to European classics, such as Franco's personal take on Russian Pelmeni, Polish Pierogi, Italian Ravioli and fresh rolled Pasta.
All complimented by a choice of traditional/regional sauces & daily baked bread. A cup of Italian coffee or Japanese green tea should not be a miss inthe day, while Swiss craft beer, a glass of organic Austrian wine or fine Japanese Sake will make a perfect pairing with Goulash Tyrolese in the evening.
