Discover more about ARK

A beacon of New Nordic veganism, ARK redefines what’s possible on the plant-based plate. Located on the edge of Copenhagen’s vibrant city center, this elegantly designed space fuses the minimalism of Danish interiors with flashes of greenery and an intimate, welcoming vibe. ARK’s reputation rests on more than its style: their menu, built entirely around seasonal Scandinavian vegetables and wild foraged ingredients, pushes culinary creativity to new heights. Expect to encounter ingeniously composed dishes — from smørrebrød reimagined without a hint of animal produce, to an umami-laced mushroom tartare or a feather-light dessert crafted from rhubarb and fermented buckwheat. In keeping with Copenhagen’s ethos of sustainability, ARK works closely with local farms and urban gardens, even using upcycled food waste to nurture their on-site microgreens. The restaurant is a culinary playground for omnivores and vegans alike, thanks to a skilled kitchen team whose plating is as artistic as it is appetizing. ARK’s multi-course tasting menus change regularly, each course paired with natural wines, house-made kombuchas, or innovative cocktails. The open kitchen adds drama and transparency to the experience, while attentive staff are well versed in guiding guests through each unfamiliar flavor. ARK’s location is ideal for a relaxed evening in the city, tucked within walking distance of major attractions but far enough off the main tourist thoroughfares to retain a sense of discovery. As dinner is the main event (with the kitchen only open in the evenings from Tuesday to Saturday), advanced reservations are strongly recommended. With awards from both local and international guides, ARK has quickly become a pilgrimage site for plant-based foodies, offering a distinctive taste of Copenhagen’s culinary avant-garde.
