OUR CAUSE
Located in different parts of Copenhagen, The Ark Collection restaurants pose a variety of high quality, plant based food concepts, with cool contexts, that happen to be good for the planet - Beyla is part of this collection.
Our menus are inspired by seasons, local produce but also global influences. The Ark Collection offers places for any occasion, taste or budget. See all our concepts here.
Through craftsmanship and determination, The Ark Collection exemplifies that plant based food can be exciting and flavorsome.
Only these food characteristics challenge mindsets and can inspire others to eat less meat and thereby ease the current environmental pressure on our planet.
‘Conscious Dining’
VISION
We want to keep pioneering the plant based scene in Denmark.
We believe that by posing a unique, positive and attractive approach to the vegan narrative, we continue to dissolve stereotypes, and exceeds expectations.
MISSION
We will continuously create places and dishes that are exciting, have a story, and focus on quality.
We question conventional methods and remind people about the bigger picture. Our choices matter.
We see the good in people, and believe that by bringing them together we can learn how to move forward together.
VALUES
Our projects showcase that businesses can create concepts that ease the environmental pressure on our planet, and we believe that sustainability isn’t simply an option but a must in our business model now and in the future.
As a company we do not preach, nor are we perfect - but we are honest, inquisitive and determined.
sustainability
Did you know we co-own our own mushroom farm? Funga Farm is Denmark’s only locally grown, organic, urban mushroom farm growing unparalleled craft mushrooms.
We believe mushrooms are a mighty force to be reckoned with and contribute toward the promise of a more sustainable future.

chairs
Our playful chairs are hand-me-downs from our sister restaurant Ark. They are designed by Thomas Bentsen from Takt Studio. The chairs are made of 100% eco-certified oak, produced from sustainable forests and are shipped as space-efficient ‘flat packs’ that minimize CO2 emissions.
OUR BAR
Our cocktails, developed by Toby Efteland, are a twist on the classics, and pay respect to both local Nordic spirits as well as global. Our sustainable practices include revamping spent wine, coffee grinds and banana peels into housemade liquors and tinctures. The wines, often natural, are carefully chosen by our sommelier from small, independent vineyards around Europe and our beers are from local Mikkeller.
Our upholstery is post-consumer recycled polyester made from fibers derived from consumer waste, which has been used, disposed of, and diverted from landfills. These are reprocessed, spun into yarn, and then woven and dyed.
