Noma: Game and Forest Season 2023
Diving into Rene Redzepi’s Scandi funhouse
Many things come to mind when one hears the name “Noma”: Iconic, pretentious, influential, overhyped, the world’s best restaurant... Some may even vividly recall scenes from last year’s dark comedy “The Menu,” which bears some striking parallels to the real-life Noma (though thankfully we all left alive at the end of our own dining experience).
Noma brings to the forefront all that people both love, and hate about fine dining. But no matter which side of the coin you fall on - whether you despise the pretentiousness of michelin-star dining, or live for it - a dining experience at Noma is nothing short of memorable.
Here I’ll take you through my own wild journey during Noma’s Game and Forest Season in February 2023.
Entering the belly of the beast. The walkway leading to the restaurant is absolutely magical. The dramatic entrance got me hyped for what was waiting inside.
A hello from the heart
