Meet & Eat at The Sparrows Continental Pasta & Spatzle

The Sparrows Michelin Guide Bib Gourmand restaurant 2025: Casual choice serving international drinks & pasta dishes in a Zen-like setting with a brick patio. Inspired by all things dough-based, The Sparrows - a translation of ‘spätzle’ - serves up the European noodles of the same name along with continental pasta and dumpling dishes treated with the warmth and appreciation they deserve.

From the Michelin Guide: Nestled under the railway arches in Manchester’s Green Quarter is this somewhat hidden restaurant where you have to ring a bell to enter. Its name is (almost) the English translation of the word ‘spätzle’ – which gives some clue as to the style of food on offer here. An assortment of dumplings and pastas are made in-house, from gnocchi to pelmeni via some excellent pierogi, with bright, fresh salads on hand to balance out the carbs. There's a bottle shop attached for you take something home, while the wine list favours smaller producers – surprisingly, there's a sake selection too.

Take a look at their amazing sounding Menu Here - Please Note: GLUTEN FREE fresh pasta? UNFORTUNATLY NOT. To cater for gluten intolerance we would have to use separate preparation and cooking facilites - that we don't have.

This is a Meet & Eat meal, you choose your food and drinks on the night and pay for these along with the service charge, less the £20 deposit/no show fee paid to Spice.
