After corona: you can now buy a voucher for restaurant Noma (but the price may come as a bit of a shock)
From special delivery to online courses and from wine auctions to restaurant vouchers, entrepreneurs worldwide are trying to keep their heads above water in creative ways. Chef René Redzepi of the world-famous restaurant Noma is doing the same. With his ‘prepayment vouchers’, you will soon be able to secure a seat at his table.
For no fewer than four years in a row, Noma, the restaurant in Copenhagen that works exclusively with ingredients from Scandinavia, was named the best restaurant in the world. But this restaurant, too, was forced to close its doors because of corona. On 14 March, René Redzepi closed the door of Noma behind him, and Noma will remain closed until at least 17 May.
But if you buy one of the restaurant vouchers, you can bypass the endless waiting lists when Noma reopens and finally take a seat at the table. One small detail: you need to have deep pockets.
Different vouchers
The vouchers start at 5,000 Danish kroner (approximately €670) and go up to more than 100,000 Danish kroner—that’s more than €13,400! In return, you don’t just get a plate of Nordic Cuisine served to you, but, for example, a menu signed by René Redzepi. Interested? Choose one of the options below:
5,000 DKK: menu signed by René Redzepi.
