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 »

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 »

René, Rosio and our test kitchen on their research trip
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 »

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 »
