OUR CAUSE
Located across Copenhagen, The Ark Collection brings together a variety of restaurant concepts, each with its own identity, atmosphere and approach to food.
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.
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 are shaped by considered choices, from the ingredients we source and the suppliers we work with to how we approach waste, materials and design.
As a company we do not preach, nor are we perfect - but we are honest, inquisitive and determined.
Did you know we co-own our own mushroom farm? Funga Farm is our organic urban mushroom farm in Copenhagen, growing unique, craft mushrooms for our restaurants.
We believe mushrooms are a mighty force to be reckoned with, which is why they play such an important role in our kitchens and our approach to food.

chairs
Our playful chairs are hand-me-downs from our sister restaurant, Ark, giving them a new home here with us. Designed by Thomas Bentzen for TAKT, they are made from solid oak and arrive flat-packed for efficient transport.
We love that pieces from one of our restaurants can find a new place and purpose in another.
OUR BAR
Our cocktails, developed by Toby Efteland, put a creative twist on the classics, drawing inspiration from both Nordic and international spirits. Behind the bar, we look for creative ways to make the most of our ingredients, giving spent wine, coffee grounds and banana peels a second life in house-made liqueurs and tinctures.
Our upholstery is made from post-consumer recycled polyester, using fibres derived from previously used and discarded materials. These are reprocessed and spun into new yarn before being woven and dyed to create the finished fabric.
Our cushions are made using Piñatex, a material created from pineapple leaf fibres, a by-product of existing pineapple agriculture. The material offers a distinctive texture and provides an alternative to animal-based leather for our interiors.
