This is what the trip to Europe was all about, Noma. Noma is a Michelin resturant that was rated the #1 resturant in the world four years in a row. Drew and Paul have been looking forward to this for 6 months. Drew secured reservations back in October. Shaken Stender, a good friend of Drew’s, also a foodie, would be joining us.
Noma is located in Copenhagen on the outskirts of downtown. We took a taxi and when we were dropped off,we were welcomed by a whole host of people that want you be feel welcome. The building is new since the fire several years ago in downtown. It is fresh and clean looking with prairie grass along with vegetables growing along the sidewalk. Prestige is a good word. We were escorted into a greenhouse for some herbal drink and them guided to another building for seating. It was cool how they seated people by times so that the food was timed for your table to be fresh,
The wine pairings were extra from the $450 dinner. I am not a big advocate of pairing wine with a meal, however, in this case, Ihave to eat my words. It was outstanding and never understood how important wine pairings were before....these folks had made the pairings dead-on. Of course they had 50 people making the decision, but goodness sakes, was it unbelievable. Not only did the wine enhance the food, but the food enhanced the wine.
There were 16 courses. I will attach pictures of each dish made with the utmost care, precision and freshest ingredients. Scallops, cod, cod tongues, king crab, mussels, caviar...and much more. Dessert was pine cones, green strawberries in a yogurt with star cookies. the whole evening was unbelievable! Check out these pictures.
