RuinMyTrip guide to Noma

Official Review

Written by RuinMyTrip Editorial from published research and official sources, not from a personal trip. It is not a traveler review and is never counted in the community rating. How we research.

What it is

A tasting-menu restaurant in a purpose-built complex on Refshaleoen, Copenhagen, serving three seasonal menus a year built almost entirely on Nordic ingredients and fermentation.

Why travelers eat here

Because it is the restaurant that changed how the rest of them cook, and it is still doing the thing rather than trading on having done it.

What is genuinely good

Cooking at the top of the profession, three distinct menus across a year, an unusually relaxed dining room for the price, and a kitchen you walk through as part of the meal.

Downsides

The price. The booking lottery. Three closed days a week. A location that needs planning to reach.

Best for

Anyone treating one meal as the reason for the trip, and anyone who follows restaurant cooking closely enough to care about the difference.

Consider eating elsewhere if

You want a great dinner in Copenhagen rather than this specific dinner. The city has a dozen excellent restaurants at a fifth of the price.

Practical advice

Join the newsletter well before you travel, because that is the only way to know when a season's tables are released. Allow four hours. Refshaleoen is a taxi, a harbour bus, or a twenty-minute cycle from the centre.

Prices and reservations

Menu 4,500 DKK per person. Wine pairing 2,000 DKK, juice pairing 1,500 DKK. Reservations are released seasonally to the newsletter list rather than sold from a booking page.

Getting there

Harbour bus 991 or 992 to Refshaleoen, a taxi from the centre in about fifteen minutes, or a cycle across the harbour bridges.

Where it sits

Refshaleoen, a former shipyard on the eastern harbour that is now the city's most interesting industrial quarter, with Reffen street food and Copenhagen Contemporary nearby.

How long to allow

Four hours for the menu.

The RuinMyTrip verdict

Worth it once if a single meal can be the reason for the trip, and not worth it otherwise. Join the newsletter months ahead or do not plan on eating here at all.

Four and a Half Thousand Kroner Before You Order a Drink

Noma charges 4,500 DKK for the menu, with a wine pairing at 2,000 DKK and a juice pairing at 1,500 DKK. It serves Wednesday to Saturday from 17:00 to 23:00 and is closed Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. That is roughly 600 euros a head with wine, which makes this one of the most expensive meals in Europe and the single largest line on most people's Copenhagen budget. What it buys is the restaurant that rewrote what…
