Guess who\u2019s back.<\/p>\n
After officially shuttering its doors and partaking in a scandal-ridden residency<\/a> in Los Angeles<\/a>, 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.<\/p>\n Noma says this is a \u201cnew chapter\u201d for the location. Each month will bring forward a new menu that takes its inspiration from different ingredients, ideas, and landscapes\u2014a switch-up from the previous three distinct menus that Noma rotated between.<\/p>\n And there\u2019s been a slight shakeup in leadership, though Ren\u00e9 Redzepi is still involved as a creative director of the restaurant. The chef recently came under fire when a New York Times journalist interviewed<\/a> 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<\/a> on Instagram to apologize to those \u201cwho had suffered under [his] leadership,\u201d saying that he has worked to change his behaviors. The allegations also caused many sponsors to pull out Noma\u2019s $1,500-a-person L.A. residency in March.<\/p>\n 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 S\u00f8berg<\/a>, 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.<\/p>\n \u201cOur 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\u2019ve ever been,\u201d a press release announcing the reopening said. \u201cNot just by what is on the plate, but in how we lead and think about the future.\u201d<\/p>\n Noma is set to open on August 5, with the menu price set at $675 per person.<\/p>\n More from Robb Report<\/p>\n Best of Robb Report<\/p>\n Sign up for RobbReports’s Newsletter<\/a>.
