The World’s 50 Best Restaurants 2021: How to Watch and What to Expect | Eater

"Located in Copenhagen, New Noma reopened in a different space in February 2018 with a tasting-menu concept that now rotates a few times a year; it debuted on the World's 50 Best list at No. 2 in 2019 and, after finally earning its third Michelin star, has repeatedly been discussed as the most likely candidate to reclaim the No. 1 slot. I note that the restaurant previously earned top honors in 2014, 2012, 2011, and 2010, but because the rules exclude the original Noma from returning, those earlier wins did not count toward the new incarnation — and now that Noma 2.0 has itself won, the coverage pointed out it should be off the list the following year unless René Redzepi reboots the concept or the organization changes its rules again." - Eater Staff

"I noted René Redzepi’s Noma has long dominated the World’s 50 Best lists—winning in 2010, 2011, 2012, 2014 and 2021—and that New Noma, which opened in its current Copenhagen location in February 2018 with a tasting menu that now rotates several times a year, created eligibility complications after the organization’s 2019 rule change (which bars previous No. 1 restaurants from winning again), meaning Noma’s repeated wins have prompted questions about future eligibility unless the restaurant reboots again or the rules change." - Eater Staff

"The Copenhagen tasting-menu institution Noma, René Redzepi’s renowned restaurant long associated with expensive, tasting-menu fine dining, has repeatedly occupied the top slot (2010, 2011, 2012, 2014, 2021) and returned to win after reopening in its current location in February 2018; because of World’s 50 Best rules that disqualify prior winners, the new Noma’s future eligibility was described as uncertain unless another reboot or rule change occurs." - Eater Staff

"First opened in 2003, but in its current waterside location since 2018, René Redzepi's ground-breaking restaurant is known the world-round – and securing a table here can be a challenging task. Widely viewed as the founder of New Nordic cuisine, its hyper-seasonal, nose-to-tail ethos and focus on fermentation and preservation techniques have since been adopted by chefs around the globe, but this is where it all began. Local and foraged ingredients feature on the tasting menu, with culinary influences gathered from its many pop-ups in far-flung destinations (Japan in particular), making an appearance." - Michelin Inspector

"A revolutionary Copenhagen restaurant credited with pioneering the new Nordic movement, popularizing foraging, fermenting, curing, and pickling to showcase hyper-local ingredients in artfully composed dishes." - Erik Trinidad
