Noma's Six-Hour Feast of Neo-Nordic Cuisine Is Food Porn at Its Finest
This is eating out on a whole other level.
In the world of food, Noma resides at the highest echelon of culinary excellence. Ranked over four years as the “World’s Best Restaurant” by Restaurant magazine, the two Michelin star Copenhagen restaurant specializes in reinterpreting Nordic cuisine, with head chef René Redzepi personally foraging for the ingredients himself, and then prepared via the arcane processes of molecular gastronomy. The result is a panoply of otherworldly experiences administered by way of your tongue, should you be lucky enough to be able to reserve a table on the months-long waiting list for a 20-course meal, starting at $250 USD. GQ‘s Spencer Wardwell was one of the lucky few to partake in one, sharing the experience with the rest of us in these photos shot using his iPhone.
