A real-life restaurant, formerly considered one of the best fine dining experiences in the world, has closed its doors. Now, people are comparing it to the 2022 sleeper horror hit The Menu.
Fans of The Menu are stunned by the parallels they have drawn between the film and a real-life fine dining restaurant, Noma, being closed down. The Menu premiered on November 18, 2022, and follows a young couple whose visit to a fine dining restaurant on a remote island takes a turn for the worse as the head chef, Chef Slowik , has plans for his guests other than taste testing. Its satirical premise takes aim at foodie culture and the issues within the restaurant industry as a whole.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY As reported by The New York Times, the Copenhagen restaurant Noma will be shutting down in 2024 after a two-decade run. Noma has received three Michelin stars and has been named among the best restaurants in the world. Just as The Menu offered an exclusive dining experience, Noma offers a 20-course meal that can cost a patron up to $500.
Then, there are the customers like Tyler in The Menu. The majority of the customers are nitpicking know-it-alls and needy celebrities who care more about showing off their wealth with the experience than about the actual food. While The Menu is a satirical and exaggerated take on the restaurant industry, the main aspects of it will ring true for real-life workers in the industry. In the industry, some cooks work grueling hours, with workers at Noma working 16-hour shifts.
In The Menu, even as viewers are horrified by Slowik's actions, some will still feel empathy for him. His extreme frustration is something that many workers in the restaurant industry can likely relate to, and it highlights the need for change in the industry.
