How Much You Should Expect To Pay When Dining At Noma

When over 1,000 chefs, food critics, and restaurateurs agree on the best restaurant in the world, it's time to take note: Noma has received the title of World's Best Restaurant not only once, but five times over. "Noma has arguably been the most influential restaurant of its generation, setting new standards in terms of research and ingredient sourcing, dish development and presentation," The World's 50 Best Restaurants' William Drew told Vogue. 

Yet to score coveted reservations, you'll need good timing and fortitude. Anders & Kaitlyn encourage eager restaurant-goers to practice making bookings on Noma's online reservation site before openings are announced and to be flexible for available dates and times. Since Noma follows a seasonal schedule and isn't open year-round, Bon Appétit advises planning trips to Copenhagen accordingly. 

"For us, eating at Noma was an outsized event in which the experience was almost bigger than the meal itself," Daryl and Mindi Hirsch wrote, reminiscing of beets cut into shapes of flower petals, breadsticks fashioned to look like tree twigs, and sumac branches replacing the need for spoons. Lucky diners are guaranteed an unforgettable culinary memory — one that comes at a cost.
