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.
