COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — Denmark’s iconic Noma restaurant is set to reopen on Aug. 5 with neither its founder and celebrity chef René Redzepi at the helm nor its three stars in the Michelin Guide. During his 23 years at Noma, the restaurant collected numerous international accolades, topping the World’s 50 Best Restaurants List five times for its innovative “New Nordic” cuisine. The restaurant declined to make Redzepi, who is now in a creative director role, available for an interview. Aside from Redzepi in the open kitchen, another notable absence next week will be the restaurant’s three Michelin stars. During a visit to the Copenhagen restaurant on Tuesday, chefs practiced preparing pike perch, brown crab, shrimp, and mushrooms in Noma’s open kitchen.
