Noma Copenhagen: The Champagne Menu

Noma has been named World's Best Restaurant 5 times. René Redzepi's Nordic cuisine pairs with a champagne program that treats bubbles as seriously as any wine region. Grower champagnes meet fermented sea buckthorn, wild herbs, and ingredients most people have never heard of. This is where fine dining meets the champagne revolution.

What to do there

3 things to do

1. 1 Secure a Reservation Adventure · Price: very high

   Noma reservations open quarterly at noma.dk (roughly 3 months ahead). Set calendar reminders - they sell out in minutes. The tasting menu runs around DKK 3,500-4,000 (£400+) before wine pairing. The restaurant operates in seasons: seafood (winter), vegetables (summer), game & forest (fall).

   Backup: If Noma is booked, Alchemist and Geranium are 3-Michelin alternatives with champagne programs. NOTE: Noma announced closure in 2025 to transform into a food lab - check current status.

2. 2 Order the Champagne Pairing Wine · Price: very high

   Request the champagne pairing or ask the sommelier team for grower champagne recommendations. Noma's wine program emphasizes small producers and natural wines. Champagne cuts through the richness of aged dairy, fermented vegetables, and Nordic umami. The team may pair a 100% Meunier from a grower you've never heard of - trust them.

   Backup: The non-alcoholic pairing uses fermented juices that mimic champagne's acidity.

3. 3 Walk the Grounds Adventure · Free · Optional

   After the meal, walk the Refshaleøen peninsula. The former shipyard now hosts urban farms, outdoor bars, and Noma's test kitchen. Copenhagen's food scene grew from this industrial wasteland. Champagne and fermented grasshoppers in a former naval base - peak 21st-century dining.

   Backup: Reffen street food market is nearby if you want a casual digestif.
