COPENHAGEN: Noma, one of the most influential restaurant in the world led by René Redzepi will reopen its doors as an outdoor wine bar serving burgers.
Redzepi said ‘these are crazy and uncertain times. Copenhagen is about to open it’s restaurants. And so will Noma. However, before we reopen Noma as we know it we will transform it into a no reservation, drop in only, wine and burger bar.”
“We feel in the first phase of the reopening that we want to be open for all. We need to heal. So let’s have a glass and a burger. You are all invited,” the chef said.
The restaurant will be open as from Thursday 21 May at 1pm.
The reopening will happen in two steps.
The outdoor wine bar will be open in the gardens at Noma which overlook the lake in Christiania. The restaurant will not take any reservations and will be open for everyone. You can stop by for a glass of wine or you can stay for more and if you are hungry there will be two burgers on the menu, a noma cheeseburger and a noma veggie burger. The restaurant said both are juicy and packed with umami with a little bit of magic from the fermentation cellar.
They will be freshly served with a baked potato bun developed by their friends at Gasoline Grill.
The restaurant will also have an option for take away for both food and wine with orders accepted at the door. Preorders for 10 or more burgers are accepted no later than 10am that day via burger@noma.dk.
Noma said that the reopening of the restaurant will require some extra time to get the machine up and running again.
“Being closed for long means that it will take weeks for our team to get the kitchen back to the levels we were at before closing. We do not yet have an official opening date for the restaurant but we will have information on this very soon.”
The restaurant is therefore not accepting new reservations.
They said that to ensure the health and safety of guests and staff, the restaurant will be following all guidelines and requirements from the Danish government and will take strict precautions at each step of the process.
