Ruffian is a Manhattan East Village wine bar renowned for its natural wine selection and vegan-friendly seasonal tasting menu, which can be fully vegan or adapted accordingly. The venue offers a sophisticated yet casual atmosphere with a focus on creative, complex-flavored dishes and excellent wine pairings. While the menu features some fish dishes since early 2022, many reviews highlight the quality and originality of the vegan options, including gluten-free and allergen-aware choices; outdoor seating is available but note occasional pest issues outdoors.
