What vegans say about Dortmund
“The restaurant itself is not vegan, but they offer a variety of dishes in a vegan option (for example, all their bowls as well as the Borschtsch, THE Ukrainian dish). The kitchen is a crossover of Ukrainian and Georgian kitchen. On the drink menu, you can also find Ukrainian beer. I always eat there when I am in Dortmund for some reason (or I search for a reason to go to Dortmund to eat there).”
