About

Apteka reworks Polish and Central European staples such as fried pierogi, Silesian dumplings, and celeriac schnitzel into an entirely vegan menu that changes with the seasons. It’s a casual counter-ordering restaurant with a cozy indoor dining room, garden seating, and cocktails; arrive before opening or expect a wait, especially on weekends.
