Reservations at the new noma
By René Redzepi - November 9, 2017
Dear guests,
We’re so excited to announce that we are ready to open noma again, beginning in February 2018.
As we’ve mentioned in the past, we’ll be dividing our year into three seasons, during which the menu will change dramatically to match the type of ingredients that are at their peak at any given time of the year.
Our opening menu will celebrate Scandinavian seafood, which is at its absolute best during the cold, winter months.… More »
noma 2.0 bookings
By René Redzepi - October 11, 2017
Dear friends,
What a year it has been so far. We closed noma on Strandgade, did a popup in Mexico, have popped-up under a bridge in Copenhagen and travelled around Scandinavia in search of products and inspiration for our menu at noma 2.0. In the meantime, we’ve been planning every other detail of the new space from the spoons to the staff locker room. The building is starting to take shape, its foundation has been laid, and the walls are up.… More »

Introducing Restaurant Barr!
By Thorsten Schmidt - June 7, 2017
Dear friends,
For years, I have been talking with René about creating a new kind of restaurant in Copenhagen. We have been holding out for the perfect space – and we finally found it, inside the old home of noma on the city’s iconic waterfront. Together in partnership we are opening restaurant Barr, on Wednesday, 5th July.
Barr will not be another Nordic restaurant. Rather, it will draw from the eating and drinking traditions of the North Sea; an area that spans Scandinavia, Benelux and the British Isles.… More »

Noma Mexico: the building site
By René Redzepi & Rosio Sanchez - February 13, 2017
Dear friends,
This week we want to share a bit about the process of designing and building our restaurant in the jungle.
It truly is jungle. About 50 meters from the water begins a thick dense landscape. Full of animals; birds of all colors and sizes, snakes, caimans and even jaguars. There is no existing infrastructure at all, no plumbing electricity or water – we are bringing all of that in.… More »
Science bunker creations for Noma Mexico
By René Redzepi & Rosio Sanchez - January 24, 2017
Dear friends,
This week we would like to update you on a bit of what goes on in our fermentation lab as we prepare our menu for Noma Mexico.
Fermented foods play a definitive role in our menu in Copenhagen. Fermentation is a way of thinking about the possibilities of ingredients, and the approach we use at Noma can be applied all over the world. Using Noma’s lens, we have applied our methods of fermentation to the ingredients of Japan and Australia – Noma Mexico will certainly be no different.… More »

Dreams of Australia
By Ben Mervis - July 27, 2015
Dear friends, we’re moving to Sydney!
Last year I had the greatest learning experience of my life. By moving our restaurant to Tokyo we opened ourselves to a new library of taste, an awe-inspiring culinary tradition both ancient and diverse. The immersion into Japanese culture challenged us to understand a new set of ingredients, develop new mindsets, and explore new possibilities.… More »
