Noma popup slated for Australia
July 27, 2015 by DarcieThe chef of the number one restaurant in the world is taking his show on the road once again again. René Redzepi is packing up everything, include his entire 60-person staff, and will open a popup version of Noma in Sydney for 10 weeks beginning in January. Redzepi notes that the weather was at least one factor in choosing the location for the popup, as he was partly motivated by the thought of his three children learning to surf. “There is a unique shoreline culture in Australia and you definitely feel that as visiting northern Europeans,” he said.
The avant garde chef will continue his signature style of finding creative ways to use native foods. He’s already spent time foraging in the Northern Flinders Ranges in South Australia to get ideas for the menu. “I have always been attracted to the incredible diversity you find in Australia’s landscapes and ingredients, because they are like no other place I’ve seen before,” said Redzepi.
There is no word yet on how much lunch or dinner at Noma Australia will cost. Expressions of interest in attending the restaurant will be taken at www.noma.dk/australia, and plans are for the spot to be open for lunch and dinner five days a week over the 10-week period. It’s not yet clear whether the restaurant will follow the lead of Heston Blumenthal’s Fat Duck Australia, which utilised a ballot to allocate the limited number of tables. That restaurant attracted 90,000 people for the available 14,000 seats.
