Three Michelin stars Copenhagen‘s restaurant Noma will close at the end of 2024 to reinvent itself as a food laboratory. In 2025, the restaurant is transforming into a giant lab, a pioneering test kitchen dedicated to the work of food innovation and the development of new flavours. Noma (abbreviation of the Danish words ‘nordisk’ (Nordic) and ‘mad’ (food)) opened in central Copenhagen in 2003 before shutting down in 2016, only to reopen two years later in a different neighbourhood of the Danish capital. The restaurant 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. Its chef René Redzepi has transformed Nordic cuisine, serving dishes such as edible pinecones, ragout of reindeer, and crispy marigold with whiskey egg yolk sauce.
