Copenhagen, Copenhagen, the city of cyclists and absolutely no billboards, tons of cafe’s and happy people! If its gastronomy, then it’s got to be Noma, but while you’re passing time, there’s a little bit of tradition to be sampled across the city.

Noma, Copenhagen
As a child I loved reading stories of Viking adventures, of Thor, Odin, Freya and Valkyries, each with awesome powers and prowess. Recently I learnt about the possibility that there might be a god previously unheard of, and naturally, this fuelled my curiosity with such intensity, I had to travel to the land of the Vikings themselves to unearth and discover this for myself!
I can now confirm that there is indeed a god previously unknown and unheard of. The god of food, taste and culinary delights, the god Noma! Noma, an acronym of ‘Nordisk’ and ‘Mad’ (Nordic & Food) has been quietly seducing diners for years with its stripped down, minimalistic approach to food, but it’s only in the last few years (2 to be more specific) that it has acquired world domination! Best restaurant in the world! That hallowed title held by gastronomic juggernauts like El Bulli, Fat Duck and French Laundry.
But, but, but! Are the powers of this new god all that they seem to be or have we mortals falsely deified him? Having booked 3 months in advance and along with old faithful companions and the parents, it was to Noma that we pilgrimaged on a sunny August day.
