Restaurant Ark, high-end vegan cuisine in Copenhagen

Restaurant Ark is a high-end vegan restaurant located in central Copenhagen. It presents itself as the first vegan restaurant in the Nordic countries to earn a Michelin Green Star, an accolade the company itself highlights in its communications. Its offering is built around seasonal, plant-based cuisine, with sustainability as a cross-cutting theme, from the menu to the design of the venue.

The restaurant is part of Conscious Collective, a group that includes several dining establishments and a mushroom farm. Ark is the group's flagship venue.

Awards and distinctions

In addition to the Michelin Green Star, the restaurant has received three circles from the 360° Eat Guide and the Innovation Award from La Liste. The company also states that it was named one of the best restaurants in the world, although the material does not specify the ranking or the specific classification.

The Conscious Collective group

• Beyla Eatery: a casual eatery in Carlsberg Byen serving classic favourites with its own twist and brunch on weekends.
• Kiko Izakaya: a bar and kitchen that transforms produce from Torvehallerne market together with ingredients from local, sustainable Danish farms into dishes inspired by Japanese izakaya culture.
