p.s.: if "wives" are not allowed I can understand but she's terribly excited at the idea of dining @ Noma!

the response to this has been rather overwhelming (i've received a bunch of PMs), much more than than i expected. i'll make a phone call to noma in the next days and see what i can sort out. those who seem 100% interested are:

kotkis
toke
marius
kaby
whitelime (?) - can you get in touch please
deldar
jungleman

then alot of people who have some time limit on when they can go (fwiw stake np if you bring our wife). im going to try and make this happen in june since thats when kotkis and toke are in europe and i want to go with them. will get back to you with more info asap

edit: also, as i said this is going to happen in june. for those who are _100%_ sure they can go in june, please either write so here or PM me. thanks
edit2: mark look for flights from june 3rd

umami is a waste of time since you are traveling for the high end cuisine.

You should def. go for Noma and Geranium.

Next should be "Kong Hans", "Era Ora" and AOC. all three are 1 star.

Theres a bistro in the area Vesterbro called Formel b.
It used to be in contention for 2 stars. Though due to recession and such had to change their concept and go for a more bistro like appearence.

Kadeau should fwiw be quite the experience if you are open minded.

btw just fyi, DONT do stripclubs in copenhagen.... complete waste of time.

Go to Pizzahuset in Gothersgade at 4am for a great drunken pizza experience. Won't cost a lot, but when intoxicated can't be had better.

...In Denmark it's very important to keep your appointments:

Original article

Noma gives defaulting customers ****-finger:

Translated using google translate:

Quote:

We know it well. If you can not keep his agreement, you must notify. But it missed some of Noma's guests apparently Thursday.

Anyway got two otherwise empty reserved tables in the restaurant, which was voted the world's best in 2010 and 2011. And it seems to have made the restaurant's chef, René Redzepi mad. It writes eb.dk.

At Redzepis twitter profile has just been completed a slightly blurred image of Noma's staff gives ****-finger to the defaulting customers. Below the picture, René Redzepi written as follows:

And then a message from Noma's staff: For the defaulting persons of two different reservations ...

Nearly 24,000 people are following Restaurant Noma by René Redzepis open Twitter profile. You can see the image on @ ReneRedzepiNoma.

Since bt.dk want to hear Restaurant Noma, whether it is normal procedure to customers who do not respect their dinner reservations, says assistant restaurant manager, Sune Østergaard follows:

- I or René Redzepi no comments.

Definitely the opposite for me. Makes it seem less stuffy.

giving defaulting customers the finger is lenient imo...

Despite being only the #75 restaurant in the world, COI in San Francisco offers a very similar style of cooking without the requisite international trip. Hyperlocal, heavy emphasis on foraged plants/herbs, innovative technique. I work there and our chef is very close with Rene fwiw.
