HQ Function

The primary site for Noma's world-renowned dining experience, avant-garde culinary research and development, fermentation labs, test kitchens, staff training, and administrative operations.

Notable Features:

Noma is situated in a custom-designed 'culinary village' of several interconnected buildings, including a former naval mine depot. Designed by Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG), it features minimalist Scandinavian architecture, extensive on-site gardens, greenhouses, fermentation labs, and stunning waterfront views, seamlessly blending with its natural surroundings.

Work Culture:

Noma's work culture is famously intense, highly disciplined, and creative. It fosters an environment of continuous learning, innovation, and collaboration, demanding excellence and a profound respect for ingredients, sustainability, and the craft of cooking. Staff from around the world contribute to its dynamic and pioneering atmosphere.

HQ Significance:

Noma's Copenhagen headquarters is more than just a restaurant; it's a global culinary landmark and a destination for food enthusiasts, chefs, and researchers. It has significantly influenced global food trends, championed sustainability, and elevated Copenhagen's status as a world-class food city.

Values Reflected in HQ: The headquarters' design and operation reflect Noma's core values: innovation, sustainability (seen in building materials, energy use, and on-site farming), connection to nature and the local terroir, seasonality, craftsmanship, and a commitment to pushing the boundaries of gastronomy.

Location:

While Noma's permanent restaurant and R&D operations are centralized in Copenhagen, its global presence is significant. This is achieved through its world-renowned culinary influence, highly publicized international pop-up restaurants (such as in Tokyo, Sydney, Tulum, and Kyoto), the global sale of products via Noma Projects, attracting international staff and diners, and René Redzepi's extensive global engagements. Noma's philosophy and techniques are studied and emulated by chefs worldwide, solidifying its impact on the global culinary scene.
