The ‘World’s Best Restaurant’, Noma, Is Closing In 2024

Noma, the three-Michelin-starred and perma-award-winning “world’s best restaurant” , has announced it will close its doors in 2024.
The Copenhagen institution, run by chef René Redzepi, will instead become “a full-time food laboratory”.
As such, the team will spend most of their time developing new dishes and products for Noma Projects (the company’s e-commerce outfit), with the dining rooms only opening for rare pop-ups.
Redzepi’s future role will be closer to chief creative officer than chef.
As first reported by the New York Times, the restaurant—which pioneered the idea of New Nordic dining (locavore, hyper-seasonal, high-acid cooking)—simply doesn’t boast a model that will survive the changing food industry.
“Financially and emotionally, as an employer and as a human being, it just doesn’t work,” said Redzepi.
Since the restaurant opened in 2003 it has been named the “world’s best restaurant” a total of five times, and only earned its third Michelin star in the autumn of 2021.
It will remain open for the remainder of 2023 before the restaurant closure and business shifts are enacted in 2024.
