"René Redzepi’s restaurant redefined new Nordic cuisine through foraging, fermentation, and an obsessive focus on hyper-local ingredients, becoming a global training ground for numerous notable chefs. After closing in 2016 and reopening in 2018, the establishment remained a perennial critical touchstone—winning the world’s top spot multiple times—and after a pandemic hiatus returned to prominence in 2021; it later announced a permanent closure by the end of 2024 with plans for occasional pop-ups." - Hillary Dixler Canavan
