The Nordic kitchen is define by using plants, vegetables and animals from the Nordic countries, that were either not used for cooking before – or not prepared like this before.
When you have lunch or dinner at NOMA or the other restaurants, are you often served 6, 12 or even more plates.
NOMA head chef Rene Redzepi explains at the award ceremony: “We consider Noma as a service, as a spirit, when we attack our guests – which we are so proud of”.
Noma moved in 2018 from the city to the port of Copenhagen. Here are they growing there own special vegetables, inorder to be able to serve new dishes never seen before, all year round.
Michelin gave 27 stars of which 2 got 3 stars, 7 got 2 stars, 18 got 1 star, and many restaurants got various fine recommendations.

Head Chef Asger Majgaard Klausen, explains: “I would say that food in this restaurant is like anchored in French cuisine, but with Nordic ingredients. We have also taken the Nordic way of making food into us, but we get inspired from all over the world, from Asia to Mexico.”
