Relax with your friends and family on the scenic deck of Emzara’s Kitchen, the Ark Encounter's two-story casual restaurant, with a spectacular view of the Ark. The restaurant is located outside the Ark, so you will want to grab something to eat before or after you board.
To ensure guest safety, Emzara’s Kitchen has been converted into a cafeteria-style restaurant with a delicious menu. Tasty hot and cold options in the Answers Center are also available.
Zofar’s can be found in the West Village on the bow side of the Ark. You have many options to choose from such as Havilah (roast beef), the Cush (Italian), or the Asshur (Greek). They also offer pizza, burgers, hot dogs, and more.
Enjoy savory smoked meat sandwiches!
Enjoy a variety of breakfast choices in the morning and then sandwiches, wraps, salads, and snacks for other meals (with vegetarian and gluten free options), along with drinks, at the Olive Leaf Cafe. Noah’s Coffee features cappuccinos, hot teas, espresso, iced coffee, and smoothie treats and is inside the Answers Center as well.
When dining out, we understand how difficult choices can be when trying to avoid certain ingredients, whether it is due to food intolerances, food allergies or personal choice. We offer both vegetarian and gluten-free options at Emzara’s Kitchen, and we have an allergy book available with a list of ingredients, which are provided from our vendors. Please speak to a manager during your visit if you have any questions regarding dietary needs and we would be glad to assist you!
Need a drink or snack while touring the Ark? We have both available on the first, second, and third decks in our snack stands, which are loaded with a variety of options to satisfy your needs.
As you walk through the gift shop, try a delicious treat from Uncle Leroy’s Fudge or grab a cup of coffee from Kezia’s Coffee.
