The best restaurant of the world can be considered the best in the world and has won three Michelin starsbut in 2024 it is set to lock up for good and turn into a full-time food lab.
The chef of the Copenhagen restaurant, René Redzepispoke to nytimes.com and mentioned that when the restaurant becomes a food laboratory, it will develops new dishes and products for e-commerce business, Noma Projects, and dining rooms will be open for pop-ups only. So his role will become something closer to chief creative officer than chef.
This move is likely to shock the world of gastronomy. “To put it in football terms: Imagine if Manchester United decided to close Old Trafford to fans, although the team would still playwrites n Julia Moskin.
In fact, this decision comes as Noma and many other elite restaurants face control over the treatment of workersmany of whom are poorly paid or not at all, who produce and serve these exquisite dishes.
The style of haute cuisine that Noma helped create and promote around the world – highly innovative, highly labor intensive and extremely expensive – may be undergoing a sustainability crisis.
Redzepi, who has long acknowledged the grueling hours required to produce the restaurant’s kitchen, said it is not possible to fairly compensate nearly 100 workers while maintaining high standards at prices the market will bear.
“We have to completely rethink the industry,” he said and added that “this is just too difficult and we have to work in a different way.”
