Noma chef René Redzepi to release food-based documentary series, 'Omnivore'
3 Michelin-starred restaurant Noma is set to close in 2024
Three Michelin stars for Noma!
Rene Redzepi reveals more details about Noma 2.0
René Redzepi has announced the closure of his three Michelin-starred restaurant, Noma, in copenhagen, next year.
In a statement on the restaurant's website it said it will reopen in 2025 and transform 'into a giant lab—a pioneering test kitchen dedicated to the work of food innovation and the development of new flavors'.
It continued: "In this next phase, we will continue to travel and search for new ways to share our work. Is there somewhere we must go in the world to learn? Then we will do a noma pop-up. And when we’ve gathered enough new ideas and flavors, we will do a season in Copenhagen.
"Serving guests will still be a part of who we are, but being a restaurant will no longer define us. Instead, much of our time will be spent on exploring new projects and developing many more ideas and products. Our goal is to create a lasting organization dedicated to groundbreaking work in food, but also to redefine the foundation for a restaurant team, a place where you can learn, you can take risks, and you can grow!
"We’ve spent the last two years planning, and we’re ready for the next many years of realizing our goal. We hope you’ll join us on this new journey."
About Noma
Noma opened in central Copenhagen in 2003 before shutting down in 2016. It reopened two years later in a different, location. It has regularly ranked among the top 10 on the “World’s 50 Best Restaurants” list, including No 2 in 2019 and No 1 for three years running from 2010 to 2012 as well as in 2021.
This is not the first time Noma has reinvented itself. Forced to close repeatedly for more than six months during the pandemic, it transformed into a burger and wine bar for a month in the summer of 2020.
René Redzepi has been hailed for transforming Nordic cuisine, and recieved much praise after finally being awarded three Michelin stars in 2021.
The team posted on Instagram at the time: "To us, this is an achievement that solidifies Copenhagen as one of the best places in the world for restaurants right now," the restaurant stated. "We want to thank our wonderful guests for their support over the last 18 years and a huge shout of course to all our collaborators — farmers, winemakers, foragers — everyone that's been a part of our giant puzzle, and most of all our team both past and present."
