Every Wednesday, DOWN THE STAIRS dedicates the day to “VEGAN WEDNESDAYS,” creating a welcoming space where diners can explore veganism as one of many dietary choices. While the regular menu features vegan burgers by POS kitchen somewhere, this event will offer a special menu item from the popular Parisian vegan caterer, H Vegan Bento: a “Chilled Three-Flavor Noodles & Vegan Gyoza Set.” The dish features a rich soy milk miso sesame-based sauce, paired with three flavorful pastes—shiso leaf, tomato, and seaweed—that add a delightful variety of tastes. Our regular vegan burgers from POS kitchen somewhere will also be available.
We look forward to welcoming you.
