01 Noma & Noma 2.0
When René Redzepi opened Noma back in 2003, he had one clear idea in mind: to use Nordic produce in an attempt to define the cooking of the region. This grand idea evolved and led to the discovery of Scandinavia’s wild foods and the new concept of foraging, which would go on to inspire countless chefs around the DENMARK world. Named the best restaurant in the world in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2014 by British magazine Restaurant, Noma has been on the bucket list of most distinguished diners from all around the world. Sadly, in December 2016, Noma served its last plate of food. And the reason for Noma’s closing is simple: Noma 2.0. Redzepi promises a new Noma where they can grow their own food as they keep pushing the boundaries of Nordic cuisine. When it opens sometime in early 2018, it will look to the sea when the harsh winter weather prevents anything from growing in the wild, and, when spring rolls around, he will turn Noma 2.0 into a vegetarian restaurant, before looking to the forest in the autumn to making the best of poultry, mushrooms and more. noma.dk
