Noma is a restaurant in Copenhagen, Denmark, and one of the city's best-known places to eat. It is associated with New Nordic cuisine, a style of cooking that draws on the ingredients and traditions of the Nordic region and has shaped how many chefs think about local food.
What to expect
The restaurant is led by chef René Redzepi and is known for its inventive tasting menus. Dishes are built around foraged and seasonal Nordic ingredients, so the menu reflects what is available at a given time of year. Visitors who enjoy discovering unfamiliar flavours and textures will find the experience a considered one, with each course designed as part of a larger sequence.
