Today was the last day for both lunch and dinner service at René Redzepi’s groundbreaking Copenhagen restaurant Noma — at least as it exists in its current form and in its current location. Redzepi is relocating the restaurant to a different neighborhood, and later this year, Noma will reemerge with an urban culinary garden in tow. Diners with lots of money eager to get a taste of Noma before then also have the opportunity to try Redzepi’s work in Tulum, Mexico, where from April 12 to May 28 Noma will be operating as a pop-up.
Attended by Redzepi’s core constituency of chefs like David Chang and other industry cool kids, here’s how the lucky few celebrated this momentous day in Noma history:

Some people selfied from Noma, others #tbt’d selfies proving they had once been to Noma. Either way, people were celebrating

Just like that almost 14 years went by - Noma has given me everything in life, friends, family and energy to climb the highest mountain. pic.twitter.com/GuYgO0JRej
