After closing the restaurant’s services next year, the restaurant
will become a full-time food laboratory. The
Copenhagen institution will then spend its time developing new dishes
and products for the company’s e-commerce outfit, Noma Projects.
Chef René
Redzepi who runs the Copenhagen institution and has been named
his era’s most influential chef said that Noma has hit a breaking point and
now, “It’s unsustainable.”
Chef Redzepi will not just work
as a chef, but his role will be like a chief creative officer after the
restaurant’s closing. Noma, who has been named the world’s best restaurant five
times will open its dining rooms only for periodic pop-ups after the restaurant’s
closure.
