"It’s a show centered around one restaurant, Noma, and one chef, René Redzepi. Both have been written about many times. But no one, I think, has ever shown you what we’re going to show you. Noma is said to be “the best restaurant in the world” and they are famous for, among other things, sourcing almost all their ingredients from the forests, fields, farms, beaches and marshes of the area immediately around Copenhagen. They have pioneered the notion of “foraging” and taken it to an extreme that would be damn easy to mock if the results weren’t so genuinely brilliant and delicious."

Noma

Scandinavian restaurant · Bradbænken

Tony visited Chef Rene Redzepi at this restaurant, which is known to many as "the best restaurant in the world." Tony came to Denmark solely to visit this restaurant.
