More good news for foodies in London: Bloomberg is reporting that Noma, the popular Copenhagen restaurant, will open a temporary venue at Claridge’s hotel during the London 2012 Olympic Games.
Chef Rene Redzepi’s “A Taste of Noma at Claridge’s” will serve a five-course menu, lunch and dinner for 10 days, from July 28 through August 6 in Claridge’s Ballroom.
It will be the first time Redzepi has taken Noma overseas, and demand for tables is expected to be heavy: Diners from around the world wait months for a table at the Copenhagen restaurant, which receives as many as 100,000 reservation inquiries a month, over which time it serves a total of just 450 tables.
And locavores can be happy, too: Redzepi and his chefs from Copenhagen will reportedly recreate Noma dishes using seasonal British ingredients.
Claridge's is located at 49 Brook Street in Mayfair, London. Visit www.claridges.co.uk/atasteofnoma for more information.
