"Noma, the famed Copenhagen restaurant known for its envelope-pushing, often-foraged Nordic cuisine, has set up shop in Southern California. More precisely, 130 members of Noma's staff have decamped to Los Angeles for a four-month residency, which runs from March 11th through June 26. When tickets went on sale this morning, they sold out in 60 seconds, according to an Instagram story from Noma founder René Redzepi. "We've sold out faster than ever before," he wrote. "Please add yourself to the waitlist as cancellations happen.""
"The globally lauded restaurant has been rising and shape-shifting steadily since opening its doors in 2003. It's been one of the world's most covetable reservations since being crowned the World's Best Restaurant in 2010, and is widely credited with pioneering New Nordic cuisine-think tiny fjord shrimp in a pool of pine-infused cream and reindeer heart with smoked juniper. Over the last decade, the web of Noma alums opening their own bakeries and restaurants around Copenhagen has helped catapult the city's dining scene to new heights."
Noma is staging a four-month Los Angeles residency from March 11 through June 26 with 130 staff relocated from Copenhagen. Tickets sold out in 60 seconds and a waitlist is open for cancellations. Guests face high prices, prompting friction, while some diners pursue alternative entry points and back doors into the experience. Preparations include research and construction of a hyper-regional larder using local ingredients. Noma pioneered New Nordic cuisine since opening in 2003, winning global acclaim in 2010 and inspiring a network of alumni that transformed Copenhagen's dining scene. Previous Noma pop-ups have taken place in Tulum and Kyoto.
