Apteka channels Eastern European heritage through an all-vegan lens, with James Beard-nominated owners spending up to 72 hours culturing nut milks and fermenting bases for pierogies and funky sunflower-seed dumplings. The seasonal menu rotates constantly, pulling from family archives and local produce to create dishes that surprise even the skeptics.
