Noma Will Reopen in Copenhagen, and René Redzepi Will Still Be Involved

Guess who’s back.

After officially shuttering its doors and partaking in a scandal-ridden residency in Los Angeles, Noma is making its return to Copenhagen this August as a full-fledge restaurant. The move comes after the former Michelin 3-star spot finally went through with its long-announced closing earlier this year.

Noma says this is a “new chapter” for the location. Each month will bring forward a new menu that takes its inspiration from different ingredients, ideas, and landscapes—a switch-up from the previous three distinct menus that Noma rotated between.

And there’s been a slight shakeup in leadership, though René Redzepi is still involved as a creative director of the restaurant. The chef recently came under fire when a New York Times journalist interviewed over 35 former employees who reportedly suffered psychological and physical trauma while working with Redzepi. One account included a woman who was allegedly punched in the ribs by Redzepi and subsequently fell into a counter and cut her hip. Before the article was published, the dining titan released a statement on Instagram to apologize to those “who had suffered under [his] leadership,” saying that he has worked to change his behaviors. The allegations also caused many sponsors to pull out Noma’s $1,500-a-person L.A. residency in March.

Now, Redzepi will be focused on developing and leading creative projects for Noma, a move that takes him out of the daily operations of the restaurant. The rest of the new guard includes Annika de Las Heras as CEO, alongside Mette Bring Søberg, who has led the test kitchen since the last decade, as head of R&D and Pablo Soto, the head toque of Noma since 2013, as executive chef.

“Our ambition remains the same as it has always been: to keep exploring, to keep learning, and to continue to become the best version of Noma we’ve ever been,” a press release announcing the reopening said. “Not just by what is on the plate, but in how we lead and think about the future.”

Noma is set to open on August 5, with the menu price set at $675 per person.
