Since its opening in 2003, Noma’s highly original Nordic cuisine has drawn guests from around the world. Its numerous awards include two Michelin stars, and the restaurant has figured on the The World’s Best Restaurants list on no fewer than four separate occasions. In 2015, René Redzepi opened the doors to Noma’s first pop-up restaurant in Tokyo. At the beginning of 2016, the turn came to Sydney, where Redzepi and his 100 man strong team served dishes solely comprising raw ingredients from Australia, including crocodile fat, wattle powder and green ants.
The 15 tables in the restaurant were sold out in four days, after which the waiting list quickly rocketed to 27,000 hopefuls keen to to experience what the critics described as a culinary adventure unlike any other. The restaurant was located on the ground floor of the Anadara building in the district of Barangaroo, where a gigantic business district featuring offices, apartments, restaurants and parks is currently under construction.
PETER KREINER, CEO OF NOMA
“We want our pop-up restaurants to serve as a link to our home base in Copenhagen. Bringing parts of the modern Danish aesthetic with us allows us to create the environment for our guests that we want. And because our Copenhagen private dining room is furnished with Wegner’s CH46 chairs, it made sense to continue this Wegner tradition first in Tokyo and now in Sydney as well. Carl Hansen & Son helped us customize the CH37 chairs and CH337 tables to match the space and our vision, so the result is a very warm, welcoming interior that creates an ideal backdrop for our cuisine.”
