ARK
’A vessel that preserves life’
Ark is our flagship restaurant - a concept that is both relevant and innovative. It is the first restaurant in the Nordics to receive a Green Michelin Star.
Guests can expect a friendly experience surrounded by thoughtful Danish design, and a menu based on seasonal, and often foraged, tasting dishes. From our bar you can enjoy unique, natural and/or bio dynamic wines and a Nordic inspired cocktail menu.
We hope to see you soon.
OUR STATEMENT
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 reflect an ongoing commitment to reducing our environmental impact through the choices we make - 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.
Our Team
At the core of the company are three distinct but tightly aligned roles.
Jason Renwick, founder and CEO, is the engine: equal parts operator and dreamer, shaping the company’s direction while running day-to-day operations and foraging ingredients himself. His global hospitality background, business training and Aussie roots (surfboard never far away) feed a constant pursuit of new ideas and better ways of doing things.
Alongside him, Brett Lavender, Executive Chef, translates vision into flavour, drawing on nearly two decades of experience across England, Australia, New Zealand and Japan to craft bold, high-level cuisine that challenges expectations and prioritises excitement as much as precision.
Completing the trio, Jenia Nelisova, Creative Director and Brand Manager, is the storyteller and architect of experience - overseeing design, branding, concept development and strategy to ensure every touchpoint, from interiors and menus to marketing, feels cohesive, memorable and true to the company’s values.
