Culinary Craft

Carrying this line of thinking further, we view it as a challenge to play a part in bringing forth a regeneration of Nordic culinary craft, in its capacity to encompass the North Atlantic region and to brighten the world with its distinctive tastiness and special regional character.

Something New

We want to go into depth with the matters before us. We are paying careful attention to the qualities in our culinary legacy, but we also aim to generate something new and innovative. We are exploring the potential of milk and cream in today’s modern cuisine. We are constantly on the lookout for berries and herbs in the natural environment, including certain varieties that other people do not generally feel like gathering.

Nothing Ordinary

Noma

 

We are also interested in working with raw ingredients which have no part in any systems of formalized cultivation and which therefore, cannot be obtained through the ordinary channels of distribution.

 

We are making use of the most up-todate kitchen appliances and “cutting-edge” techniques, of course, because we are paying just as much attention to the food’s consistency as our colleagues are busy doing at today’s top international restaurants.

 

Vegetables, herbs, spices and wild plants in season, play a decidedly prominent role in our cooking. Consequently, they take up more room on the plate than what is generally served in traditional gourmet restaurants.

Distinctively Advanced Cuisine

Noma

 

Our intention at noma is to create and to prepare a distinctly advanced kind of cuisine, while nonetheless conjoining our patently Nordic approach with a manner of purity and simplicity in the approach. We are also busy infusing our Nordic cuisine with a markedly curative potential.

 

These values are all reflected in our menus’ ultimate articulation and manifest themselves both in the construction and presentation of the individual courses and in the means of preparation and ingredients upon which they are based.

 

In order to make the ambitions come alive, noma is piloted by a chef, a skilled craftsman who happens to be one of Denmark’s finest culinary artists, Headchef and Partner René Redzepi.

 

Noma is located on the ground floor of a newly renovated warehouse in the Christianshavn section of Copenhagen, at the edge of the quay, all the way out to the waterside, immediately opposite to Nyhavn. What we have here is simply one the city’s most inspiring locations.
