We even ate bear. Noma may be the only restaurant in the world that serves bear dumplings. The spoon on the side featured a drizzle of “Bear Caramel.” We couldn’t help but notice a certain element of genius born of necessity in dishes like the deliciously odd (or was it oddly delicious?) bear dumpling. Noma isn’t located in an agricultural hotbed like Italy, France or even Thailand. Its Nordic locale forces chefs like Redzepi to use the limitations of the region to stretch culinary creativity in new and exciting ways. Noma’s “Mushroom Broth with Sumac” may be the most innovative course we’ve ever eaten.

Its chef René Redzepi has been hailed for transforming Nordic cuisine, serving dishes such as edible pinecones, ragout of reindeer, and crispy marigold with whiskey egg yolk sauce. I first ate at Noma a dozen years ago, when it was still in a damp semi-basement with paint peeling off the wall; they moved to the sleek, stripped-wood “Noma 2.0” in 2018. To be fair, the kitchen porter (traditionally the most overlooked and underpaid member of staff in a restaurant) was made a partner in the business in 2017, but Noma only began paying interns earlier this year. Now, it seems, that business model doesn’t add up. But there’s no doubt René Redzepi has changed the way we eat.

We’d love to know who else would take a bus to such an extravagant event. On one hand, it seems silly not to spring for a taxi. Then again, perhaps the bus is more appropriate because, despite Noma’s astronomical price, something about the place still feels grounded and unpretentious. Food At Noma In this dish, shaved beets were arranged like flower petals over plum and piquant cloudberries. In 2025, our restaurant is transforming into a giant lab, a pioneering test kitchen dedicated to the work of food innovation and the development of new flavours, one that will share the fruits of our efforts more widely than ever before.” But, in some ways, Noma is an anomaly with food that takes its cues from molecular gastronomy as much as from ecology. We have immense appreciation and understanding for what Noma offers and appreciate the fact that more than a few people won’t understand it. Much of our time will be spent on exploring new projects and developing many more ideas and products.”

The Copenhagen restaurant literally received the auspicious culinary designation the day before our 2021 Game and Forest dinner. For us, eating at Noma was an outsized event in which the experience was almost bigger than the meal itself. Forced to close repeatedly for more than six months during the pandemic, it transformed into a burger and wine bar for a month in the summer of 2020. All combined with NOMA’s unique, patented easytimer which is low voltage and simple to use. At the time you want your lights to switch on, press the button for 3 seconds or until it illuminates green. The reindeer will stay lit for the same 8 hours every day or until you reset it. To do this, simply press the button for 3 seconds or until the green light goes off.Bring a touch of Christmas magic to your home or garden and put a smile on the faces of all who see him. Product details Ceviche of berries has become a modern Noma classic, ever since their pop-up in Mexico last year. Each season – seafood, vegetable, and game and forest – have had its version of this, with the latter being the most delicious, in my opinion. This is also the best use of Noma’s caramelized baby pine cones, which I didn’t understand the use of in the two previous seasons. This elegant LED Jewelled Reindeer Figure is a perfect statement piece to light up your Christmas display. It's a beautiful choice for any space, whether as a standalone piece or as a centrepiece of your outdoor Christmas decorations and as such this stunning reindeer light figure is sure to put a smile on you and your neighbours face. Details like the raised foot, impressive antlers and cute little tail add to the charm of this great display. With a beautiful 300 LEDs, this eye-catching jewelled stag shines a brilliant white, spreading Christmas cheer all through the night.

That being said we enjoyed every tasty, monumental moment. Braised pumpkin leaves wrapped around super savory pumpkin during our meal at Noma. Not being huge fans of wine pairings and a bit scared by this one’s price tag, we initially opted for a bottle. At the last minute we changed our minds, figuring, “Hey, we’re eating at the best restaurant in the world. Let’s do it!”

We have plenty of different designs to choose from in all sorts of sizes. We have doe, stag, and fawn light-up reindeer sets that are great for creating a magical wintry scene; reindeer and sleigh lights that are the classic Christmas all over; and indoor mounted stag head reindeer Christmas lights that make for festive wall decorations.The restaurant, by choice, seats fewer than 100 diners each day. Tens of thousands of people attempt to pry one of Noma’s precious few tables the moment that each dining ‘season’ opens for reservations. It’s that competitive.
