New Nordic Food

For the second consecutive year, restaurant Noma in Copenhagen has been elected as the World’s Best Restaurant, topping the prestigious list ’San Pellegrino World’s 50 Best Restaurants’.

The name ”Noma” is an abbreviation of the words ”nordisk mad” (i.e. Nordic food). So don’t expect olive oil or any other non-Scandinavian ingredients when visiting the coveted restaurant located in an 18th-century warehouse by the Copenhagen harbour.

Executive chef René Redzepi focuses on regional produce, such as Nordic langoustine, wild salmon, seaweed, foraged berries and musk ox. All their prime produce is sourced in Scandinavia, but especially Denmark.

More than 800 leading chefs and culinary writers worldwide are eligible to vote for their favourite in the ’San Pellegrino World’s 50 Best Restaurants’, which is hosted by Restaurant Magazine.
