On plans for Noma Australia René Redzepi said:
The menu development is looking really good. Between our sommeliers and kitchen staff we’ve already been on six research trips to Australia over the past ten months. We’ve gone to as many regions as we can, to get a good perspective on the amazing produce in Australia. In December, we’ll move the entire creative team to Sydney so they can spend time putting together a menu that best showcases what we’ve found on our trips.
Mads Kleppe, Noma sommelier said:
Through Noma Australia we have been given the unique opportunity to learn about Australian wine. During our research trips we have meet a group of talented and dedicated producers and farmers that make lively and energetic wines, beers, ciders and spirits that we are looking forward to serve our guests next year.
Key partner of Noma Australia Tourism Australia Managing Director John O’Sullivan said:
Rene has spent the past few months unearthing interesting and unique produce from all corners of Australia through a series of extensive research trips. From native fruits in South Australia to seafood in Victoria and Queensland and seaweed in Tasmania, Rene and his team will be creating a truly inspiring and memorable Australian menu, with some of Australia’s most interesting wines to match.
Gary Horwitz, Head of Retail at Lendlease said Rene’s concept for Noma Australia is well underway at Barangaroo:
Lendlease and our award-winning design partner, Foolscap Studio, have been developing the Noma Australia restaurant fitout for several months now. The design is progressing extremely well and we look forward to unveiling a beautiful space in the new year which fulfills Rene’s vision for Noma Australia.
