Etxebarri is incredible (notice anything in my profile pic?).
That’s a good point on making the drinks mandatory - I hadn’t thought about that before. Not an issue for me, at least in the sense I would’ve ordered it regardless. But … my wife would perhaps have not.
In fact, when we ate at Noma in Copenhagen (and other Nordic/Scandic region restaurants), oftentimes I’ll do a wine pairing and she’ll do a juice pairing. I’m sure they’ll be willing to do a non-alcoholic pairing, but then is it reasonable to expect that to be the same price as the alcoholic? I’m almost 100% positive, even at Noma, the non-alcoholic pairings are less expensive throughout the region.
But then, what it all boils down to is, they can price it at this, knowing full well they’ll sell out anyway. You know, suckers like me and all.
Honestly that makes me happy. Use your words and your phone camera. Unless your last name is Gold or Rodell you don’t need a damn camera crew, and that ain’t what you should be focusing when you’re at Noma!
I see things like this - which, I admit, I have not read in an effort to go into this as “pristine” as possible - and the title alone gets my heart racing.
Is it $600 w/ wine, or just for the meal? If it’s with wine, that’s not bad, relatively speaking - compared to what many other places charge that aren’t a special event, but just for dinner w/ wine.
I’m considering going, if I can find a ticket at face value. But not sure if timing will work - I’m in LA and NY in May. When does it run until?
How safe is buying a secondhand TOCK ticket? I assume Paypal is the best way? I would hate to show up and be turned away, though this run is so small I’m doubtful there’s fakes out there.
I think the best place to get a ticket is from this chowhound post: Chowhound
The best way to get your hands on the ticket itself would probably be Tock since the site allows a person to directly transfer a ticket to you.
I think the meal and pairing are $600 USD per person, plus 16 percent local tax, and a nine percent service charge. At least that’s what Eater is saying.
Hey, you’re talking about the forest in Mexico. Hot and humid is what I’d guess. If I needed another deal breaker that would be it. I HATE that kinda weather. And I don’t have the finances either.
