For 20 years, René Redzepi has reigned over both the world’s best and most caricatured restaurant. But not for much longer. Redzepi has announced that the Copenhagen restaurant will close for regular service at the end of next year. It will re-open in 2025 as a test kitchen and e-commerce business. His dedication to truly local ingredients – no lemons, no olive oil, no nutmeg or cinnamon in the northern climes of Denmark, so no place for them on the menu – shaped a whole generation of chefs who care about where their food comes from. It’s also responsible for the menu trope “all food is sourced locally where possible” and usually means that Kenyan green beans and Peruvian asparagus will feature.

Caviar and cream in some variation is another Noma signature, which comes in a brilliant version for the game and forest season. The caviar is from the Danish producer Rossini, so high quality, and served with a dollop of the lightest whipped cream you can imagine (with tiny sprinkles of salt on top, I believe). The two ingredients are paired with a cold pheasant broth, which has formed a jelly in the bottom of the bowl. I loved this one!

But, in some ways, Noma is an anomaly with food that takes its cues from molecular gastronomy as much as from ecology. We have immense appreciation and understanding for what Noma offers and appreciate the fact that more than a few people won’t understand it. Serving guests will still be a part of who we are, but being a restaurant will no longer define us. Measuring an impressive 190cm in height, this stately reindeer stands as a magnificent centrepiece, commanding attention and spreading joy to all who behold it, making it perfect for any festive display. Additionally, the convenient assembly process allows the reindeer to be effortlessly pieced together in 4 parts, ensuring a hassle-free setup experience.

Did we mention that we started our evening by hopping on a bus to travel across town to Noma? Considering the restaurant’s ginormous price tag and multinational clientele, we were likely the only diners that night who were that ‘in touch with the city’ and our wallets. Complete with easy timer which allows you to set your lights to come on for the same 8 hours each day, simply press the button when you want them to come on and they will stay on for 8 hours. They will come on at the same time every day until you reset them! If you would prefer the timer can be turned off completely. But even though it will become a test kitchen, diners will still be able to snag the occasional meal, with Noma promising to organise pop-up restaurants from time to time, in Copenhagen and abroad.
Perhaps disappointingly, this is not an actual beetle. Instead, it’s a beetle shape painstakingly modelled from fruit leather (made from dried jam) served in an entomology box. The fruit leather beetles have also proved controversial: a former Noma intern has said she spent a three-month unpaid internship assembling the beetles (instead of doing any actual cooking) and was forbidden from talking or laughing as she worked. Mallard wing That being said we enjoyed every tasty, monumental moment. Braised pumpkin leaves wrapped around super savory pumpkin during our meal at Noma.The meal literally ended with a reindeer bone, just like it began, albeit two different bones and two different creams. The luscious creams inside those bones – one savory and one sweet – signified an experience that was richer than the ingredients. Sommelier Ava Mees List carefully curated a list of biological wines produced in countries like France and Georgia as well as in Denmark. It’s a list as unique as the menu – one that many diners opt to skip, instead choosing to ride the sommelier’s choices in a substantial (both in price and selection) wine pairing. How many restaurants would have the temerity to serve bear dumplings? A pure sphere of juicy fried bear that Mindi proclaimed to be the best hushpuppy ever, each bear dumpling arrived with an ivory spoon drizzled with bear caramel.
We’ve pondered this question in the past decade after taking the jump from casual food lovers to obsessed epicureans. We don’t have a clear answer. Instead, it’s more of a guttural feeling – a ‘we know it when we taste it’ kind of thing. The Copenhagen restaurant literally received the auspicious culinary designation the day before our 2021 Game and Forest dinner. For us, eating at Noma was an outsized event in which the experience was almost bigger than the meal itself.

If you’d like to retain your premium access and save 20%, you can opt to pay annually at the end of the trial.The LED components are now made from copper which eliminates the traditional problem of rust within the bulb holder. Noma’s menu descriptions, which are given after the final plate has been served, paint a simple picture but Redzepi’s flavorful food can be deceivingly complex. Surprisingly deep flavors burst from every plate, belying the advanced, bistro-gastronomic elements and techniques used to create each unique dish. This beautiful NOMA Acrylic Light String Reindeeris a magical Christmas piece that is sure to get you in the festive spirit. Sitting down with a delicate string of lights caught in his antlers and a friendly smile on his face. Reaching 54cm in height with an acrylic material used to ensure that it will stand the test of time and look stylish during the day as well as at night. Its chef René Redzepi has been hailed for transforming Nordic cuisine, serving dishes such as edible pinecones, ragout of reindeer, and crispy marigold with whiskey egg yolk sauce.
This elegant LED Jewelled Reindeer Figure is a perfect statement piece to light up your Christmas display. It's a beautiful choice for any space, whether as a standalone piece or as a centrepiece of your outdoor Christmas decorations and as such this stunning reindeer light figure is sure to put a smile on you and your neighbours face. Details like the raised foot, impressive antlers and cute little tail add to the charm of this great display. With a beautiful 300 LEDs, this eye-catching jewelled stag shines a brilliant white, spreading Christmas cheer all through the night. In 2025, our restaurant is transforming into a giant lab, a pioneering test kitchen dedicated to the work of food innovation and the development of new flavours, one that will share the fruits of our efforts more widely than ever before.” And desserts? Yes. We had three and they were as daring and unconventional as every other course. The first featured a creamy parfait of buttermilk, a common Danish ingredient, topped with an uncommon ‘mother’ of kombucha. The second multilayered dessert, a beeswax bowl served atop leaves and cacao pods, had layers of saffron ice cream and spicy Mexican chocolate as well as a poppy seed and licorice topping. Our final Noma dessert course, served in a reindeer bone, featured sweet reindeer marrow, blueberries and flower petals. Much of our time will be spent on exploring new projects and developing many more ideas and products.” We couldn’t help but notice a certain element of genius born of necessity in dishes like the deliciously odd (or was it oddly delicious?) bear dumpling. Noma isn’t located in an agricultural hotbed like Italy, France or even Thailand. Its Nordic locale forces chefs like Redzepi to use the limitations of the region to stretch culinary creativity in new and exciting ways. Noma’s “Mushroom Broth with Sumac” may be the most innovative course we’ve ever eaten.Unfortunately the delivery company will be unable to remove items from the pallet or take the pallet away with them. They will normally place the pallet where required but within reason of the physical constraints of the pallet size. The driver will normally wait for you to inspect the goods and we would recommend you do so before signing the delivery note. Words, pictures and even the restaurant’s enormous pedigree can’t convey the enormity of the experience we shared.
