Noma, the fine dining restaurant with three Michelin stars, has decided to close its doors in 2024. Don’t worry, Noma will be back in 2025 but not as a restaurant. They have planned to reinvent themselves by becoming a giant lab. Here’s all you need to know about what is going to happen at Noma.

The Scandinavian restaurant has been described as a gastronomic mecca, focused on creating world-class dishes. Established about two decades ago in 2003 by the Danish chef Rene Redzepi, Noma has been credited with the invention of the New Nordic Cuisine. The aim of the restaurant is to focus solely on the ingredients available in the Scandinavian region. The menu has showcased ingredients like moss and ants in its dishes, surprising people with its culinary innovation.

Located in Copenhagen (Denmark), the restaurant is known for its 20-course menu that rotates through the seasons, with a focus on vegetables in spring and meats in autumn. A meal at Noma cost DKK 3,500 which is roughly INR 42,000 or USD 505 per person and the restaurant is always booked for months. However, the Noma as we know it is shutting down. Winter 2024 will be the last season to experience the menu that has been awarded three Michelin stars.

Noma is lauded by food critics for being avante-garde and it is also famous for pioneering culinary innovation. It is not going away completely; it still plans to serve food eventually. But in the long-term, it will stop existing and operating as the restaurant it is today.
