The restaurant has regularly ranked among the top 10 on the “World’s 50 Best Restaurants” list, including No 2 in 2019 and No 1 for three years running from 2010 to 2012 as well as in 2021.
We even ate bear. Noma may be the only restaurant in the world that serves bear dumplings. The spoon on the side featured a drizzle of “Bear Caramel.” 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’d love to know who else would take a bus to such an extravagant event. On one hand, it seems silly not to spring for a taxi. Then again, perhaps the bus is more appropriate because, despite Noma’s astronomical price, something about the place still feels grounded and unpretentious. Food At Noma In this dish, shaved beets were arranged like flower petals over plum and piquant cloudberries. Not being huge fans of wine pairings and a bit scared by this one’s price tag, we initially opted for a bottle. At the last minute we changed our minds, figuring, “Hey, we’re eating at the best restaurant in the world. Let’s do it!” 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. The restaurant, by choice, seats fewer than 100 diners each day. Tens of thousands of people attempt to pry one of Noma’s precious few tables the moment that each dining ‘season’ opens for reservations. It’s that competitive.

To be fair, the kitchen porter (traditionally the most overlooked and underpaid member of staff in a restaurant) was made a partner in the business in 2017, but Noma only began paying interns earlier this year. Now, it seems, that business model doesn’t add up. But there’s no doubt René Redzepi has changed the way we eat.Our 2021 Game & Forest Dinner At Noma In Photos Bear caramel was one of many sweet surprises during our dinner at Noma.
I first ate at Noma a dozen years ago, when it was still in a damp semi-basement with paint peeling off the wall; they moved to the sleek, stripped-wood “Noma 2.0” in 2018. Small items may not require a date to be booked in, a courier may arrive whenever they have the availability to deliver, they may ask you for delivery instructions if you are not in on the date of attempted delivery. Much of our time will be spent on exploring new projects and developing many more ideas and products.” 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. Words, pictures and even the restaurant’s enormous pedigree can’t convey the enormity of the experience we shared.
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.
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. 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. 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. Whether you place this deer in your garden or on your patio you are sure to fast become the wonder of the neighbourhood!Forced to close repeatedly for more than six months during the pandemic, it transformed into a burger and wine bar for a month in the summer of 2020. 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. 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.
