"Opened in 2016 in Copenhagen, this restaurant announced it will close on September 30 due to the negative effects of the global pandemic; chef Kristin Baumann is stepping down as co-owner while the remaining partners plan to launch a new concept in its place. Praised as a more affordable companion to René Redzepi’s flagship approach, critics likened it to “Noma 1.5” and the New York Times called it a stylishly casual alternative that cost about a third as much while delivering well over half the quality. Redzepi was involved primarily as a business partner, with Baumann leading the kitchen." - Chris Crowley
