Dining @ Noma - May 2012

- A group of us went to Noma to try the #1 restaurant on San Pellegrino's top 50 restaurants in the world. Having been to the Fat Duck I was really keen to understand why this was voted #1, but didn't have 3 michelin stars. The answer lies within... enjoy!
If you prefer burger and Kentucky fried chicken its OK, if you primarily eat to stop the hunger, its OK, if amount is more important than taste, its OK, if sitting around a table eating for hours is not your way to spend an evening, its OK, if you just eat what you know, its OK, you probably wouldn't enjoy the food at Noma, in that case just let the people who enjoy it, enjoy it.
I visited Noma a year before they got their first Michelin Star, it is the best,most enjoyable and surprising dinner I ever had!
I have eaten in good restaurants around the world, I have had first class food served, I wouldn't be able to tell you what was on the plates, it was all nice and normal, at Noma I was surprised, not just because of the look of the dishes but mainly because of the taste! I am still able to recall every dish which was served, that's the difference.
I have tried to order a table ever since, but the disadvantage of trying to book a table in what is called the best restaurant of the world is that thousand of people who enjoy food have the same idea.
nanok2005 OK, you keep eating alive shrimps on ice and i keep eating my wonderful pizza....where is the problem???
Why are people so afraid of trying something new? The people that are criticizing this place seem rather crass and uneducated. A lot of cussing. There is nothing wrong with eating expensive food and certainly nothing wrong with wanting the best humanity has to offer. If you're going to live in a box, at least live in one with windows.
And for your final course, sautéed camel eyelids served with a paste of baby urine & flour and a lean cut of bear bladder to accompany it
Justin noma is expensive to eat at....
John Doe In the world of gastronomy, this food is considered the best. Since the people that are defining what is the best, most creative food in the world, are people that are passionate about food, I would assume they are correct. Some hillbilly, could say, "well, I think hotdogs are the best.", when quite clearly, this isn't the case. To him, it very well could be, but on a world class level, absolutely not. We can debate about people's personal perceptions of the best, but that clouds the effort to attain any real definition. I'm addressing the tendency for average people to criticize that in which they can't typically attain. Simply because they don't understand/can't afford what is considered the best, doesn't make it pretentious, or bad. This has been going on for thousands of years between the classes. Poor man's cuisine, which is what some refer to it as, is often looked down upon as slop, by foodies, which is not a fair assessment either. These types of food/cooking interesect a lot these days, so each cuisine needs credit. I'm not in the box at all, I'm simply hoping that people get out of their comfort zone and try new things. It's not productive, nor innate in humans to lack curiosity, so closing oneself off from an entire form of cuisine, isn't a good thing,
+Justin Hopkins speak that truth bro
+Justin Hopkins Indeed man. I could eat at this place and it would hurt my wallet. But it would probably be an experience I'd never forget. I get the live ants they serve sometimes. It's not just for show. They contain acid, and we love acidy flavours in our food like vinegar and lemon, so why not ants?
Am I the only one who would LOVE to eat there? srly 200 euros for this I think its perfect, its 20 dishes you are eating, Im pretty sure its plenty food and its a diferent experience, you are paying for the show, the enjoy of doing something diferent in your boring life. Its perfect.
+David Poe 224 US dollars?? WOW-- NOT BAD AT ALL :D
+David Poe it's plenty I was full and we had the small lunch.
I would be excited as hell to get a chance to eat here. I also love a good pizza or burger. Good food is good food. I was brought up with the whole 'expensive restaurants with small portions are pretentious nonsense' thing, but when I was older I started trying some new things and OMG did I not know what I had been missing. A great dining experience is not something to be missed if you can afford it (or have someone to pay for you).
I'm with Feedz on this one. I love trying new things, especially food, but I draw the line at forest debris and live shrimps.
Some things like the dried moss may seem silly, but as a whole the menu is quite fascinating. Its nutritional or alimentary value is irrelevant. It was, of course, created as a sensorial and aesthetic experience. I respect and appreciate that. If I ever get a chance, I'll go there.
I'm amazed to see so much narrow minded hating here. Life is about trying new things, going beyond your idea of "normal" because you never know what wonderful experiences you might be missing. Outside of the raw shrimp, which, admittedly, I found a little disturbing, I found these dishes fascinating and would love to go there! And how can you complain about the price, when you'll pay close to that at a high end steakhouse for something you could easily cook at home for 1/8 of the cost?
Good point. A lot of nonsense and closed minded people here.
I like how they have the Chef de Partie come out and explain the dish as it is being served. Very professional.
You'll be back... are you Food Terminators? Nice video, guys! Really whet my appetite for Noma. I know I'm viewing this late and the menu has changed, but I believe the spirit of the restaurant remains the same. Thank you!
It is often said that the less one knows, the smarter they perceive themselves, and you are a prime example
this is restaurant is revolutionary...its expensive cause he took the time to go out into Denmark and forage the goodness it as to offer and he serves it...and that's the thing he is onlie serving vegetation or proteins from Denmark.
Owner and founder René Redzepi has formerly worked at restaurants such as The French Laundry, elBulli, Kong Hans Kælder and Le Jardin des Sens. The Chef de cuisine is Matt Orlando, who met Redzepi whilst working at The Fat Duck;[15] and sommelier is Norwegian Mads Kleppe.
Brilliant!!! Thanks for sharing!
This is the kind of menu that could've been composed during some extravagant challenge on a cooking show where they forbid the contestants from using normal ingredients. So you have to resort to serving live shrimp and broth skin.
Thanks for uploading. Great vid. Next best thing to being there.
Great step by step eating at noma!!! Love it!!
exciting! I don't think it's pretentious. In fact, most of the dishes look fun and full of wonder like when a child is trying foods for the first time.
It looks like you all had a very lovely time eating interesting food in a very hospitable atmosphere. Didn't seem "stuffy" at all. Wait staff seemed to be very nice as well. Love the way you set up the video for viewing. Thanks for sharing.
So....lichen, mussels, pigs skin, live shrimps and radish leaves.........I'm not blown away.
I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! Munch! Munch! Funny and interesting dishes. Nice Variety, presentation was alright. Wish I could visit with a couple of friends, we would have a blast like you guys! :)
I love how some of the people that say this is a waste will gladly shell out money for one night of fun in a club, or a day's trip to Disneyland etc. Different people prefer different experiences and this is more of an experience than it is a meal.
The joke is on the customers! A great laugh and hearty laugh the owners, chefs and cooks of this "swanky" restaurant must be having. Literally laughing their way to the bank. I bet after each cook has presented their "Piece de Resistance" to the haute clientele, they return to the kitchen and laugh themselves to tears and probably death.
You must be one of those who would rather go to your local pizzeria than a world-class restaurant. It's sad, really. It wouldn't be the world's best restaurant if it wasn't something else, right? You have to try before judging like that.
You're hopelessly clueless.
It's very hard to make money with a high end restaurant, that's why El Bulli closed.
They make their money with books and other merchandise.
Marcus Knak On this space I am entitled to my opinion and deduction. Sorry if it offends you for me to throw barbs at any restaurant and foodie scenes I wish to .
N.B I actually love and have eaten in some of the best restaurants out there. Some folks call it being a foodie. Cheers.
blondstallion Hopelessly clueless is a term a self appointed righteous person would throw at anyone without first reading between the lines you sir. I clearly know my worldly cuisines so well thank you. Learn to take a joke please.
Thanks for uploading this footage. After watching it, I would rather go to other famous restaurants featuring delicious cuisine, instead of pure stunts.
Amazing. I'm so jealous of the entire experience.
4.23 That's Dynamo (the magician)
And for the main course, here is an empty jar, you fart inside of it and then sniff it........OH MY GOD SO AMAZING!
Really 🤢 the live shrimps, isn't that torture, infact they were struggling to breath... Common 🤦🏻♂️
Eating here would b amazing. I would love to try the reindeer moss. I heard the preparation of this was very delicate and time consuming.
They do not use Lemon because it does no grow natually in Denmark, they use live ants instead.
Thanks for sharing!
Just watch Anthony Bourdain, Parts Unknown: Noma, i did and now i want to go there, look fantastic imo!
Im from Scandinavia so this feels so odd yet so close to home since most of the ingredients you can find wild almost all over Scandinavia.
Yes would recommend it. Very relaxed and friendly atmosphere and unusual but tasty food.
Thomas they always present food like that. One of their "features" is that the chef who cooks presents the food to you - pretty novel and something that I like!
I can enjoy a FEW weird, experimental dishes in restaurants. It's a fun experience. But when you're eating a tasting menu I tend to find that the novelty factor wears off after 4-5 weird dishes. You stop being fascinated by the complicated ingredients and just start longing for some more normal, great tasting food
There is no deep wisdom in this feeling.
"Normal" great food comes from this same process of experimentation and selection, some results of which become incorporated into tradition.
Agreed!,
Normal? They collect all the greens wild outside the town or they go to a farm that they have a deal with where they can take whatever they want.
It's not only ranked as one of the best resturants in the world it's probably one of the most ecofriendly to.
Table booked in August!
So.
Fucking.
Excited.
How much did it cost?
Philipp Trapp $300 a head for food and $200 for wine for a prawn on a rock, reindeer moss, and eggs you cook yourself.
Philipp Trapp including flights from the UK, food, wine, hostel etc it looks like it's gonna be in the £500 - £600 region.
Well worth it for lunch in the restaurant of the most influential chef in the last 5 years imho!
heelfan1234 don't forget the leaves and shrubs haha
hmm 300$ not that bad, I thought it will be at 700$ ish
How can you eat that much? Btw: I would never be able to eat live baby shrimp...
much? you cant get your belly full in these "fine" places...
Well, there are 25 courses and most of them are as big as an appetizer. 25 appetizers? A lot.
lol I'd be so disappointed having an Aussie waiter at my table, wouldn't feel like I'd left the country. ..what an amazing restaurant.
It was really interesting to see how it is there. I am a vegetarian so I wouldn't be the best person to go there even if I could afford it, but for someone who isn't and can afford it I am sure it is a great experience.
Hey you will surprised as Noma is now going very vegetarian. Last time I went a few months ago we had only 2 meat dishes on the entire menu!
+Bernard leung At first I would think that's a pity. But they're so creative I would have to check the menu to make up my mind.
In 2017 they will reopen their restaurant and during the summer only vegetarian food will be on the menu. :)
tablaqueen I hear You loud and clear!!! I'm not a vegetarian, but I have no desire to eat live shrimp, or anything else on their menu!!!! BARFF!!!!!
How do you know if someone's a vegetarian?
Don't worry, they'll tell you
“There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all arguments, and which cannot fail to keep a man in everlasting ignorance - that principle is contempt prior to investigation.”
The reason it doesn't have 3 stars is that it's located in Denmark and the Michelin guide is French. The amount of horrible restaurants that have michelin stars in France is astounding.
We only need one of these places ,i would go in hungry and leave hungry
great clip!
I must not be fancy because not a single one of these dishes looked appetizing.
I don't want my food to look like a tree, I don't want to eat moss or live shrimps.
I want my steak medium rare and my fries crispy, gravy on the side.
I guess I don't understand the artistic integrity of creating food that looks like dirt.
Some people like McDonalds each and every day. Other people likes to enrichen their lives with experiences, even if it comes to such basic stuff as eating a meal. We cant all have an equally single-minded view on things. Good for you that plain steakhouses are of plenty out there. Also they tend to give an "meh"-ok expression when bringing a date, which seems to fit your style just fine. Fuck romance and compassion. (Lol)
galhest1 Hahahaha
galhest1 Are you attempting to insinuate that a steak is neither compassionate nor romantic after saying yourself that it's up to opinion and dependant on whether or not people decide to enrich their lives?
Interesting
You also imply no date would be impressed with such wooing, apparently you've never dated a person who wasn't of high maintenance. Unfortunate that you can't just be enough, you need to shower them with gifts and 'romantic' food.
Deadbeliefs I love how fucking massive ignorant you are mate. Good luck in life you'll fucking need it. :D
well then go to a fast food restaurant u fat tard
I assume you can recommend this restaurant to everyone that wants a culinary food experience? Was it worth the money? Nice vid :)
Noma is a choice: Do I want to spend 300 euros on a once in a lifetime dinner filled with crazy stuff I will never ever eat again or not? It's on my bucket list in any case.
Indeed it is !
What Kind of Taste do These Guys have? They LOVE whatever they geht. Probably Even sh.. of it werde Steamed in seawater.
I have no desire to eat at this restaurant!!! Come on LIVE SHRIMP???!!!! THATS CRAZY!!!!!!
Thanks for sharing
The cow leg dish looked amazing, and a huge portion, especially after all those other dishes. I don't think anyone should complain about price versus amount of food served after all that. Of course, I may be wrong in many cases. :)
+Alexandre Martins Its alot of bone
(I think)
Pretty sure I've had this before and its a little bit of meat and a really really large bone. But don't take my word for it
+Teddy Weng Hmm... that wouldn't surprise me. :)
You americains believe to be the most rich and sophisticated country, yet you knownledge about cuisine is poor and you are realy simple minded. If you dont know what I mean by that, just read the comments below. Vive la France and good job boys in Noma!!
Undereducated, un-evolved, jealous Americans.
You're stupid to think that Americans are rich and sophisticated.
nach sol I
live shrimps... got the shakes, ewww.. :p
The reason why it don't have 3 stars is because of the food poisoning that happened
At 300$ a head I bet you anything it would not taste as good if he charged 30$ a head.
FABULOUS PLACE TO EAT
Wow, I actually found it disgusting to watch after a while! Says a lot.
not really
It seems a shocking experience, funny and very innovative, but... in theme of flavor, if you try Massimo Bottura (from Italy) or Ferràn Adrià (from Spain) restaurants, they are another planet.
Cost for the meal was about 170GBP (~250 USD?) plus wine and drink. I think the total ended up being about 250 GBP (~370 USD?) so yes a but extravagant.
Well said sir!
heres some hedge clippings, dried leaves and gutter moss... that will be £200 please
freighter014 someone's panties are in a twist... was ur uncle abusing you again
no you're just so stupid that i got upset :(
klovn
If that's TOTAL for 4 people...then that's an outstandingly well priced experience. 92 bucks and change... I could blow twice that here locally at a few restaurants on one person and not have this kind of experience.
The green sauce looks like the diarrhea I just had.
HAHAHA I almost died laughing
What I really want to know... How much was the final bill...
You don't just walk in and wait to be seated, you pay to reserves a spot days before you go. I think you pay about €200
+JOE SMITH I went there 2011or 2012 and for 11 courses we paid 250 pounds or around 350$ pr head
denmark39 How was it? Was it overrated or was it something that stood out?
+Jolly Ranchu hi Jolly. When you have so many dishes there is always one you dont like so much. The green sauce you see a lot they used a bit too much in the dishes. But overall as you can see in the video you not only tast but you also talk together it becomes an event. The servants are really knowledgeable and professional ( many are cooks someselves ) in a very relaxing atmosphere. For one of the dishes every person at my desk had a servant coming in with a plate standing behind you. Again just so professional. The restaurant is in an old warehouse maybe its why it doesnt get 3 michilin stars.
6:22 The plate is made by KH Würtz. take a look! :-)
There's a French recipe were you eat a live bird in one bite .
lol i love how they thought the salad starter was a joke
Don't hold the shrimp by it's one sensory organ lol... that's just silly if you don't want it to move xD
i'm totally freaking out...WHERE DID I PUT MY TWEEZERS....oh, they're on my jacket
thank for the video
Do they always present the food for you like that, or was it just for you guys?
Um, some of it i would love to try but some is just plain stomach turning. Making people cook their own eggs at the table is just plain awkward.. might give this place a wide berth
4:20 dynamo magician
Very interesting looking food, I just don't want to know the final cost.
300 per person
me eating yoghurt with croissant watching this video... sad life :D
+Meera You wanted to kill the people at Noma with a Death Note? :)
im eating mcD so im pretty good :D
Live shrimp? No, thanks. Their brain activity adds nothing to the taste.
Rest looks pretty delicious, though.
Taste or experience? I bet you wouldn't be as excited to eat a dead shrimp compared to a live one. Right?
Luca Krasiewicz
Yeah, I'd rather have my shrimp dead.
Luca K Like Woody Allen said, 'I want my food dead, Not sick, not wounded, dead.'
fishybishbash >Quoting Woody Allen
First mistake
Mazra You will never taste the shrimp with all that mayonnaise, pepper and lemon juice
New York City - Halal Guys: Chicken Over Rice for $6.
I went to NYC a few weeks ago! We arrived at 12 am and the Halal guys were stationed right next to my hotel. Even at that late hour there was a line. Great food!

What's next fried bark from a Lebanon tree
Is that guy Dynamo..!
At a grand a person, I'd tape this too.
Aebleskiver for the win !
"the skin from a duck stock" (very impressive)
Read the news... People end up sick when eating here.
*shrug* different strokes for different folks. Mushrooms (a fungus) were considered too base or dangerous to eat and hence a delicacy not that long ago, fruit similarly both are now everyday foods. Hindu's consider eating cow as sacrilegious, Jews consider shell fish inedible, and a large part of the world won't eat pork, so you shouldn't really judge I guess. It's all perspective.
Pretty cheap, was it worth it though?
I don't understand the angry reactions against this type of thing, such as the one below my comment. I think some people misunderstand the point here. This isn't somewhere that people go every night for a meal. It's about having a unique, memorable experience. Obviously these people enjoy a good steak as well, but that's a more straight-forward experience that is enjoyed for different reasons. It's like the difference between going to the opera and turning the radio up loud while driving around in your car. And hey, it may not be for you. Nothing wrong with that. But why can't you just leave it at that?
The guy in the corner of the table with black shirt and nikon camera looks so similar to DYNAMO the magician impossible :D Or is he ?
Come on mate, that's in appropriate.
I can't believe no one mentioned how cunty it is to dip a live shrimp in butter and eat it. It can't be tastier or more filling than a cooked shrimp, it is just more cruel.
ypkymtf Okay I have to admit I was drunk when i wrote that comment. I do apologize for the filthy language. But I must say that I don't understand what it is you find so cruel about eating a live shrimp? Why is it more cruel to eat it alive than cooking it? It dies instantly either way.
And about the taste.. If you haven't tried it already I really think you should. It's really delicious!
It's okay. My problem with the shrimp is not that they are eating it while it's alive; as you've said, it dies instantly either way. The dragging through butter part seems bad to me since the animal can understand it is in danger. I don't know, it just seems that there could be a better way than prolonging it. Anyway, cheers for the decent response though =)
Yeah!Totally cruel as hell just like crocodiles!Because crocodiles are cruel as hell!
ypkymtf It's just a shrimp. Crustaceans are just big underwater insects. It's on par with stepping on an ant.
my exact thought! hahaha nice one
was that dynamo (the magician) eating with you guys?
I don't want to come off ignorant, but I don't know how I'd feel paying so much for dishes that doesn't seem "cooked" I understand that plating and presentation is an art form but when you're cooking an egg and sprinkle in garden greens. I can do that at home albeit it doesn't look as nice. I dono just my 2 cents.
Not too bad though if you consider it's supposedly the best restaurant in the world, There are certainly more expensive ones elsewhere, that aren't as great
how many dishes were there in total? i got lost
Hi i'm a boy who only likes pizza, chips, hamburgers and chicken. I love junkfood. Do you think i will like this?
lots of the chefs sound aussie
I have to say that some of that food did not look appetising, but no one would dare say so lol
let me ask you this how much was the bill?
10 course menu plus 2 sets
Who's Dynamo?
