Restaurant
NOMA
Twice classified the "best restaurant in the world", this surprisingly discrete establishment enjoys a privileged position at the end of a dock in a former 18th century warehouse which has been completely restored and is located in the heart of the historic district of Christianshavn. To sample the experimental Nordic cuisine of René Redzepi and the menus of 7 or 12 courses within a minimalist, Viking atmosphere with beast skins and wooden tables, reservations can be up to 3 months ahead...!
