Nordic food “culture” – ‘oh, I don’t think so!’ Smoked, salty and pickled-ish food is what comes to mind when thinking about Nordic food “culture”. And as icing on the cake, having been exposed to the amuse-bouches of the Southern flirtatious kitchen – foie gras, crème brulé, sauce béarnaise, tiramisu (… now drooling) – the term “culture” might seem as an extensive stretch when talking about Nordic food! But dear friends – No more! The best restaurant on our dear celestial globe is neither situated in Paris nor Madrid – it’s situated much further north, in the Danish capital, Copenhagen. Le nom (read in a French accent) is NOMA. The restaurant has reinvented Nordic food “culture”, and turned it into Nordic gourmet. Lobster from the Faroe Islands (exotic, right), fresh salmon and wild seaweed from Iceland or even bewildered (…oh yes they are) musk ox from Greenland – just to mention a few of the many delicacies NOMA serves in their 250-years-old-dock-house, located on the fashionable Copenhagen city harbour. NOMA has styled Nordic food from a – ‘oh, I-don’t-think-so’ state, into being the new black of the world of delicate gourmet!
