Copenhagen 2026:
We’re coming home
Friends,
We’re approaching the end of our time in Los Angeles.
For the past few months, the team has been focused on sharing what we created for Noma LA. It has taken years of dreaming and months of planning, and along the way we have been lucky to work with an extraordinary group of people across the city. Designers, suppliers, ceramicists, weavers, fishermen, foragers and many others have helped shape this project and bring it to life. Each day, we have welcomed guests into the restaurant and shared the result of so much collective effort.
These past months have also brought moments of real challenge. They have led us to reflect more closely on who we are, what matters most, and where we want to go next. And now, we’re ready to share that with you.
This August, we are coming home.
For more than twenty years, Noma has looked to the seasons and landscapes around us, building a restaurant rooted in a particular time and place. Over the last decade, that journey took shape through three distinct seasons that became the rhythm of our year.
A few years ago, we began imagining a different future. One where the restaurant could become a place for deeper research, exploration and creativity. As we worked towards that vision, something equally important was happening around us: a new generation of leaders was growing within our own walls. People who have shaped Noma for years, and who are now ready to carry it forward.
Together, we have made the decision to reopen our restaurant in Copenhagen—not as a return to what was, but as the beginning of a new chapter. A chapter where new leaders are taking the reins of the operations, with Mette Brink Søberg as Head of R&D, Pablo Soto as Executive Head Chef, and Annika de Las Heras stepping into the role of CEO.
When we open our doors this summer, we are building towards a new rhythm: twelve seasons of Noma. Every month will have its own expression, shaped by the ingredients, landscapes and ideas that inspire us in that moment. It will be an incredible creative leap—one that allows us to stay closer to nature and to our own curiosity. August is where that journey begins.
Our ambition remains the same as it has always been: to keep exploring, to keep learning, and to continue to become the best version of Noma we’ve ever been. Not just by what is on the plate, but in how we lead and think about the future.
We are deeply grateful to everyone who has stayed with us on this journey. We cannot wait to welcome you back to Copenhagen and to share what comes next.
It feels good to be coming home.
We’ll see you soon,
The entire Noma team
Noma LA
2026
This spring, we’ll spend sixteen weeks in LA, from March 11 to June 26, cooking, listening, learning, and building a body of work rooted in this place. Alongside the residency, which will be documented as part of a special film project, we’ll open a Noma Projects shop in Silver Lake, host events with friends at MAD, and collaborate with cooks, artists, and communities we admire across the city.
In LA, our cooking will be shaped by what exists here — the Pacific, the mountains, the desert, and the long distances between them. We’ll spend time getting to know ingredients, producers, and traditions, and let that guide what ends up on the plate, filtered through our imagination and the know-how we bring with us from Denmark.
We’re grateful for the opportunity to be in Los Angeles, and thankful to everyone welcoming us to the city!
