René Redzepi’s three Michelin-starred Noma has again ascended to the top of the World’s 50 Best Restaurants list, a publication that attracts perennial criticisms for favoring expensive, male-run, Eurocentric tasting menu venues, and which has sent the expensive, tasting-menu only Noma in Copenhagen to the top of the on list four previous occasions.
Noma’s win comes as even as all other previous number one restaurants were disqualified from being on the list this year. But because Noma is actually new Noma — it opened in its current location in February 2018 with a tasting menu that now rotates a few times a year — the wins from 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2014 do not count. Now that Noma 2.0 has won, it should actually be off the list next year, unless René Redzepi does another reboot, or unless the 50 Best organization changes its rules again
The results were announced during a live ceremony in Antwerp, Belgium.
Another Copenhagen restaurant, Geranium, took the number two spot.
This is the first World’s 50 Best Restaurants list since the onset of the pandemic. Votes for the 2021 list take into account the votes cast for the 2020 list as well as a March 2021 “refresh” vote, in which voters could issue new votes, but only for restaurants in their own region.
