Noma København Reviews
The Best
How to write a review about such a well-known place? Maybe to highlight some things of interest to us: - We dined at a shared table. Enjoying that experience with other like-minded people: foodies, travelers, and people with generally interesting backgrounds and lives was a real treat. - Inventive, and in several cases challenging to the palate (think crickets) - this was a surprise to me, and very appreciated. - The produce was spectacular. And there was nowhere to hide on some of these dishes: fresh berries and some sauce. But oh, that woodruff-based sauce, I can taste it almost a week later. So good. The desserts in general far surpassed anything we had at Alchemist or Geranium earlier in the week. - The wine pairing was top notch. Really unique pairings, many from places you can't get the wine, such as a Georgian winery that Noma buys all the production from. - Service was spectacular start to finish, except that their white napkin left white bits all over my black pants. This was the only issue with the entire experience. Noma is #1 for a reason. We LOVED Alchemist and Geranium had amazing food, but for us, Noma is truly in a league by itself.
Absolutely exceptional
This is the ultimate gastronomic experience by which every past and future restaurant has to be compared. It is exceptional in every way. We were taken on a tour of the back rooms afterwards which are extremely interesting.
Once in a lifetime eating experience, even for Foodies
It’s funny to even write a review of Noma as the name is already known worldwide. To describe our experience at Noma, all I have to say is we flew from Detroit in the Spring when it is cold in Copenhagen just to eat at Noma. The seafood season was incredible. Our expectations were blown from the attention to detail to the flavors to the knowledge of all of the staff. Unbelievable experience and a must see for all. My only negative is they said it’s closing soon to do a pop up somewhere else in the world. We will travel anywhere in the world to have another Noma food experience.
Michelin 3 start but not Ven close to the best
Doesn't worth the money. Best restaurant of the world, must paid a lot for the title unfortunately don't go. They not even paying for people work there
The Nordic cuisine was delicious
We enjoyed dishes like traditional Danish meatballs and smorrebrod. The Nordic cuisine was delicious and the service was top-notch. with its emphasis on organic, locally-sourced ingredients without compromising quality.
Overhyped, Underwhelming
There is a lot to love about this restaurant however a lot of the food doesn’t actually taste very good. You can see a lot of thought is given to every aspect of the meal but I would argue the appearance of everything takes precedence over the taste of the food. The non alcoholic pairing was enjoyable with different juices, kombuchas and teas. Everything is played beautifully, the interior of the restaurant is visually pleasing too. However, taste is a crucial part of a tasting menu and unfortunately this fell VERY short for us. all of the dishes are very vinegary and they made a big spectacle about using scoby (the mushroom on top of kombucha) as they key ingredient in a few dishes and it is actually pretty foul. Also, upon reflection the service felt overbearing at times. This isn’t about eating tasty enjoyable food, it’s about pushing boundaries and I appreciate that to a certain degree but it’s definitely not for everyone. There are much more enjoyable food experiences to be had in Copenhagen. If you missed out getting a reservation, I wouldn’t worry.
Great as what it should be
The influence of the three-star Michelin restaurant Noma in Denmark even goes beyond the Danish capital. René Redzepi, the founder and head chef of Noma, is considered an influential chef in the world (see the notes in the same category for personal experience) and was selected as the cover character of Time magazine in 2012. His influence on Nordic cooking covers five Nordic countries, such as the newly promoted three-star Michelin restaurant Jordnær and the one-star Michelin restaurant Dill in Iceland. In addition, as a restaurant itself, it has won numerous awards, and the most notable one is that it was ranked first in the list five times in 2010, 2011, 2012, 2014 and 2021. At the end of 2016, René Redzepi decided to close the restaurant and move it to a new location. He felt that the restaurant was a bit stagnant and the team needed to innovate further, which was a big risk and controversy for the award-winning chef. Fortunately, the new Noma 2.0 has received positive reviews from almost all critics around the world since its opening, including but not limited to The LA Times, The New York Times, The Guardian, and The Wall Street Journal. Scandina-vian cooking methods are derived from their traditions, such as the Vikings' need to use methods such as preservation, drying, smoking, salting, and pickling to ensure that they can survive the long winter, and this tradition continues to this day.
The best
The best through out 20 years and the legend will continue. Whatever from which side Noma is perfect and no problem here.
Exceptional
This was truly an exceptional experience where we tried food that we will never ever eat again at another restaurant. Would come back 150%
Experience of a lifetime - never again
You go with expectations good or bad. At the restauraunt food may be a hit or a miss, but the service always makes up for it. What terrible service- you can refill my water better when my glass is empty, micro portions of wine parings, the pained look on the waiters face if he has to refill wine or even juice. Mixing up glasses at the table and not even understanding / rectifying it. Food which is complicated for the sake of being complicated. Essence of a dish is lost. The entire meal had only one spice note. Left the place hungry and got a fantastic hotdog near the trains station . Knew it would be mediocre but never expected it to be downright terrible. Can understand why it is drawing comparisons to the movie - The menu on Netflix . Paying nearly 1000 usd for dinner - I understand I am the fool
Nice food, average drinks, average service, massively overpriced experience.
The food was well thought and nicely prepared, no doubt about it, but I was still missing the magic that I experienced in Heston Blumenthal's Fat duck. The 14 courses were too much, 8-10 of them would have been sufficient. Less could have been more. The drink pairing included some pretty average wines, one of them being quite bad. There was no proper presentation of the wine, e.g. why there were chosen to pair those 2-3 courses, fir which they were offered. It seemed a bit ad hoc. And very expensive for the quality. The service was very efficient, but still not very personal, except for being offered some pretty average cocktails at the end for not so average prices. I expected to experience a similar magic as at the Fat duck, but it wasn't even nearly close. Much more expensive though. I left the restaurant dissapointed and so did my wife. It was a wrong choice for us.
Exquisite
First off it is quite easy to see why this restaurant is viewed as one of if not the best in the world. The food, wine and service were impeccable. The wild boar belly was one of the best items of food I have ever eaten in my life. We were looked after by Ming who was a breath of fresh air, attentive, friendly and nothing was too much trouble. She was able to answer all of our questions and even took us on a tour of the kitchens after we had finished. We were here for lunch service and had the full tasting menu and wine flight. It was a truly memorable experience and one that was uniquely its own, completely different to every other 3* Michelin place we have been but could hold its own despite its classic approach and being less theatrical than other places in the same arena. We are so glad we managed to get a booking for this season giving im not really a seafood eater and the restaurant is set to close soon. Thanks so much for a wonderful afternoon
Big dissapointment
I am sorry to say but Noma does not meet expectations at all. One dish of 18 stands out while 17 were mediocre. Several mistakes during serving, no mentioning of an after dinner drink room, wine served after food etc. I understand that forest and game season limits the flavours but come on! There’s more to it than this. Frantzen manage, so could you!
Best restaurant great food great team
What a beautiful restaurant and the food was amazing. I was so impressed by the w the wine and the service was spectacular. Such a warm friendly and stylish establishment, so looking forward to coming back, massive thank you to the Chef and his fantastic team.
Amazing as always!
Actually our 4th time here and still amazed. The location, the atmosphere and the service is just incredible. You know it will be expensive - but being one Of the best places in the world - worth it if you enjoy these places. Cosy and low Key feeling
Best food experience I have had
It was amazing. Expectations was high, and they delivered. On atmosphere, on service, on wine, and definitely on the food. Worth every penny? Depends on how many pennies you have. Best food experience I have had? Yes.
Worth the hype
I had high expectations for the world's best restaurant (for several years) and it exceeded them. The whole experience right from when you are greeted at the door, to the story, presentation of the food, the service and decor and of course, the food, is world class. We had the forest and game season which had pretty much used all the edible parts of the deer, plus bear fat, and duck. The wine pairing was the best I've ever tasted. Worth the anticipation, worth the price. We are hoping to get a spot at their Tokyo pop up.
6 hours experience for foodies
6 hours experience for foodies, I was skeptical as this is a 3 star restaurant so the expectations where at the highest possible level and I must admit they delivered on all stars and more. There was always personal attention on the costumers, if you just dine or have been at the rest room, you will be seated and waited all time, the chefs present the food themself and the waiters has so much control and understanding of all aspects of the environment, food, drinks and what we have. Will definitive come back again some time.
A wild, wonderful culinary ride
Noma is not easy to describe. It’s FANTASTIC and it’s bold as well as pleasant. It’s one of the great culinary places of the world and deserves its reputation. But it’s not for every diner: this is where you go when you crazy flavors and experimental food preparations. Not for unadventurous eaters. I LOVED it. I can also recommend trying the shared table option as a solo traveler. I met three super-interesting people from around the world.
Noma 2,0 - Ocean season
We took a daytrip from Stockholm for lunch. From the moment of arrival to leaving a superb experience. Perfect wine pairing with all the courses. They took good care of us and explained all the courses perfect, together with the wine.

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Noma København at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Noma København page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* MaternalRecord73, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* MaternalRecord73 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to MaternalRecord73 for any questions Peter may have as MaternalRecord73 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* MaternalRecord73 now uses their connections at Noma København to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If MaternalRecord73 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, MaternalRecord73 receives the $200 reward which is credited to MaternalRecord73's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Noma København!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
