At the end of 2024, the Copenhagen restaurant Noma will close its doors. Opened in 2003 by Danish chef Rene Redzepi, Noma put New Nordic cooking on the map and helped popularize hyper-local cuisine around the world. Noma has 3 Michelin stars and has been named World's Best Restaurant 5 times. Announcing the closure, Redzepi said it's impossible to make the math of fine dining work for his almost 100 employees and himself.
