The world of food adventurers is eagerly awaiting the Noma Mexico pop-up which is planned to open in Tulum in April 2017.
As with all of the previous Noma pop-ups, chef René Redzepi and his crew have been in the country for weeks now to research new ingredients and potential dishes for their upcoming menu.
Redzepi has been keeping his massive list of followers up to date on the happenings through his Instagram page where the chef has been sharing some of the team’s most interesting finds using #NomaMexico.
Below is a round up of some of the pictures and videos shared by the chef from Mexico.
