Copenhagen's Noma reopens with micro-season menus as chef Redzepi steps back
Longtime chefs will lead the restaurant’s new monthly seasonal menu as it reopens after months closed and without Michelin recognition, staff said.
- On Aug 5, Copenhagen's iconic Noma restaurant reopens with longtime chefs in charge, operating without founder Redzepi or its three Michelin stars. The institution begins a new chapter featuring a monthly rotating menu.
- Following a report by The New York Times detailing former employee accounts of verbal abuse and physical assault, Redzepi announced he would "step away." The founder apologized after allegations surfaced regarding his conduct between 2009 and 2017.
- Executive head chef Pablo Soto confirmed an internal audit was conducted, ensuring staff growth systems are in place; Noma is almost fully booked through October, charging 6,500 Danish kroner per guest.
- Tom Sietsema, food correspondent for Washington-based NOTUS, notes the industry is reevaluating kitchen culture, with chefs increasingly focusing on staff pay and time-off. This shift aims to move away from the traditional "brigade de cuisine."
- Noma will not be part of the Michelin Guide this year due to operational gaps, though the restaurant intends to maintain its tradition of innovation. Mette Brink Soberg and the team continue developing new seasonal rhythms using fresh garden ingredients.
