Outstanding vegan fine dining - Edit
If you are looking for an elegant fine dining experience, this is the place. The restaurant is elegant and cozy. The staff is superb, ensuring that you are having a great experience and explaining every dish. The food, served as a seasonally changing menu, is amazing. They try to source everything locally, including mushrooms from their own farm.

It was the first time spending this amount of money in a restaurant but it was totally worth it.

Vegan tasting menu - Edit
A vegan tasting experience can’t be much better. Little pricey but a must try place. The menu changes 4 times a year seasonal minor changes there between. Good space for each table - a big plus for that.
Read moreMy favo on my second visit is definitely the blue oyster mushrooms (as at my first visit)
Must reserve a table.

Just Amazing - Edit
Came here for dinner on a Wednesday night. Made reservations ahead online. Each course was amazing but our favorites were the smoked ricotta sourdough crumpet and the white turnip macadamia gazpacho. The sourdough apparently took 8 months to develop.

Thank you - Edit
This is the kind of place you’d wish everyone had the pleasure of visiting. Everything from the prime location to the interior and thought through ambiance to the owner himself waiting on tables with a smile (you’d never guess he was the owner, if you didn’t already know) to the pristine service to, last but not least: the food, oh the food.
Read moreThis is where you’d take a devout meat eater just to see them embellish in taste combinations and quality they’d only hope to find at any non-vegan place, and understand through experience what lies they’ve been fed, quite literally, their whole lives.
The owner has already been revolutionizing the Danish (vegan) food scene, but this.. this is a game changer in Nordic, even European, fine dining.
Just.. wow!
Pros: Everything
Cons: Nothing

We had the great opportunity to find an open meal slot at the last minutes when we learned about this as an option while traveling. I would love to come back again and again as well as discover and enjoy their other restaurant concepts. The pics tell a story of creativity and sustainable living. The service was the wonderful and the ambience was delightful. Worth every penny and more !!! This is how it’s done.

The food at Ark was perfect, classy and exploding with flavour. Probably the best meal I’ve ever had. Everything was great about this place, over the top service, wine pairing and non alcaholic pairing, and the beautiful food.

An amazing, balanced and creative food experience. Great service and atmosphere! - Edit
The staff has a very professional yet friendly and informative attitude towards you. They could adapt the meals for me without soy (because Im allergic) with ease. The meals were colourful and balanced with different flavours complementing each other. I love the luxery vegan consept and the nordic relaxed atmosphere in regards to the interior.
