Noma in Copenhagen

Life has a tendency to be loaded with amazements. In the event that one month back you would have inquired as to whether I was arranging an excursion to Copenhagen, Denmark, the answer would have been most definitely, "No." On the off chance that you would have let me know that I would be consuming at the crown gem of the culinary world and proclaimed best restaurant anyplace, Noma, I would have bashfully grinned, taken a gander at you sideways and quickly changed the subject. Yet this previous weekend that is Precisely what I did! I went to Copenhagen under the sole appearance to eat even from an optimistic standpoint "Restaurant." Who needn't bother with a little debauchery in her life  every now and then? :)

Nyhaven in Copenhagen.

A 17th century canal and waterfront…and the most touristy place in the city!

The opportunity was presented to me by an American girlfriend here in Paris, Kelly.  She had spent many months trying to get these coveted reservations via public channels (calling 3 months in advance when the reservation books opened up while tightly crossing her fingers), but she was never successful.  Between 20,000 – 100,000 people vie for a spot at this cozy 12 table restaurant each month, so getting a reservation is a bit like finding a Dane who isn’t up for a beer at 10am….impossible! But thanks to her American stick-to-itiveness and resourcefulness, she reached out to a friend whose husband had connections to the chef…et voila! C’est fait! Her next order of business was finding a dining companion.  That is where I came in.  After a quick trip to the Easyjet website, I became her thankful and lucky companion on this foodie pilgrimage.
