Crouched on a salt marsh, I knock back schnapps as the tide creeps towards me. My hand hovers over sea wormwood, a botanical I’m collecting on a tour of the coastline. Klaus and Jan, my guides, pull bottles of homemade firewater from their basket and we sample the spirits as we nibble the very plants and berries that infuse them.

Australian entrepreneur Jason Renwick came to Copenhagen in 2005, travelling in and out of the country before opening vegan cafe Souls in 2016. He then teamed up with British chef Brett Lavender, who had spent much of his career cooking in luxury hotels and Michelin-starred restaurants in Australia, New Zealand and Japan, to open Ark restaurant, in central Copenhagen, in 2020.
