A tasteful fusion of history and contemporary; antiquity and modernity; natural and extravagant, is Copenhagen’s highly acclaimed restaurant, Noma. Located in an updated historic warehouse on the waterfront in central Copenhagen, the prestigious restaurant is loaded with culture as well as high-end cuisine. Using natural ingredients that can only be found in the native countryside of the North Atlantic Region, Noma’s owner and Chef René Redzepi has taken traditional Nordic food and transformed it into a contemporary Nordic-inspired gourmet cuisine.

To say that Noma has been enormously successful and comes highly recommended would be an understatement. The two-star Michelin rated restaurant has received an overwhelming amount of praise and has been celebrated by the world’s most esteemed food critics. Recently given the number one spot on San Pellegrino’s World’s 50 Best Restuarants, Noma has outdone former Chef winners of the past six years, Ferran Adrià’ (El Bulli) and Heston Blumenthat (Fat Duck.)

Redzepi, staying true to authentic “sea and soil” Nordic cuisine, takes his ingredients and raw food materials directly from the land. Using anything from wild beach roses to monkfish livers to “edible dirt” – consisting of hazelnuts, malt, and beer – Noma has proven to be incredibly unique and innovative. Due to the fact that Redzepi utilizes ingredients solely native to the North Atlantic Region, his recipes cannot be imitated or enjoyed elsewhere. Noma’s prices run about $250.00 a person, however including a selection from its extensive wine list, dinner can cost well over $500.00.
