About 

ZAR is a Bulgarian communal dining restaurant created by Thomas Pagh, Lea Sandby and chef Anna Yttesen.

For the month of December, the team joined forces with Bulgarian guests from Sofia.

We learned about the old traditions, exciting new ingredients and customs
- and also, we brought around 600 kgs of the best Bulgarian produce.

In January, we are working with the same pantry while giving our menu a fresh twist or two.

Thomas Pagh Co-Founder, sommelier, hospitalian by heart and most importantly Leas’ boyfriend.
