Noma Reopens in Copenhagen Under New Leadership Following Abuse Allegations
Noma, the five-time world's best restaurant, reopens in Copenhagen on Wednesday (week of August 3, 2026) under new collective leadership, marking the first time since founder René Redzepi stepped back from day-to-day management. Pablo Soto, the new executive chef who has worked at Noma for nearly a decade, promises "the same Noma" with reinforced focus on employee wellbeing. In March 2026, the New York Times revealed Redzepi's abusive behaviour towards staff between 2009 and 2017. The new evolutionary monthly menu costs 4,500 DKK (~£515) per person.
