Noma Will Reopen in Copenhagen, and René Redzepi Will Still Be Involved
The Michelin three-star restaurant will rotate monthly menus and move René Redzepi out of daily operations as it starts a new chapter.
- Noma will reopen in Copenhagen on August 5 as a full-fledge restaurant, marking a "new chapter" for the former Michelin 3-star destination.
- The restaurant returns following its closing earlier this year, which occurred after a scandal-ridden residency in Los Angeles caused sponsors to withdraw from the $1,500-a-person event in March.
- A recent New York Times report featured interviews with over 35 former employees who described trauma while working under chef Ren Redzepi. He apologized on Instagram to those "who had suffered under leadership," Redzepi said, adding he has worked to change his behaviors.
- Leadership changes see Redzepi transition to creative director, stepping out of daily operations. The new leadership team includes CEO Annika de Las Heras, executive chef Pablo Soto, and head of R&D Mette Bring.
- Menus priced at $675 per person will rotate monthly, taking inspiration from diverse ingredients. Management says the team intends to continue learning, focusing on improving both the food and their leadership.
