Five times ranked best restaurant in the world — now a food lab after regular dinner service ended in December 2024.
Coming soon on iOS — be first to walk Copenhagen offline.
Noma built New Nordic Cuisine from a Christianshavn warehouse that spent 200 years trading Greenlandic dry fish, salted herring, and whale oil. Founded by René Redzepi and Claus Meyer in 2003, the restaurant moved to Refshalevej 96 in 2018 and now operates as a food innovation lab with periodic pop-up residencies.
What to look for
- The Greenlandic Trading Square beside the original Strandgade 93 warehouse — two centuries of North Atlantic trade in salted herring, whale oil, and skins passed through here
- North Atlantic House, the arts-and-culture centre that took over the original Strandgade warehouse when Noma opened in 2003
- Restaurant Barr, which now occupies Noma's old Strandgade 93 address after the move to Refshalevej 96 in 2018
No regular dinner service since December 2024; Noma runs occasional pop-up residencies from Refshalevej 96 — check current schedule before making the trip.
