Awards:
- 2 Michelin Stars
Rene Redzepi certainly is flavour of the year; his popularity has dramatically risen since 2010 when he received his first ‘best restaurant of the year’ award. Now with two years under his belt both he, and his restaurant, are continuously booked out.
A celebrity master chef, he is also the face of Noma (a portmanteau word, running together nordisk ("Nordic") and mad ("food")) a modest eatery (only 12 tables) in the Christianshavn harbour district of Copenhagen.
Specialising in new-wave Scandinavian food that is meant to be eaten with your hands and is served on rocks instead of plates, Noma has easily gained its 2 Michelin stars.
