CARL COURT—AFP/Getty Images by [Sarah Begley](https://time.com/author/sarah-begley/) ## Sarah Begley Sep 14, 2015 8:38 PM UTC The Danish restaurant Noma, [consistently](http://time.com/3904121/new-world-best-restaurant-list/) [ranked](http://time.com/3904121/new-world-best-restaurant-list/) among the [world’s best](http://time.com/81073/noma-best-restaurant-world-redzepi/), will close at the end of 2016, to reopen as an “[urban farm](http://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/16/dining/noma-rene-redzepi-urban-farm.html)” in Copenhagen. Chef René Redzepi has chosen a location in the city’s Christiania neighborhood as the future home of Noma. The building, currently decorated with graffiti and skate ramps, will be renovated to include a rooftop greenhouse and a farmable floating raft, according to the New York _Times_. Redzepi, who is known for highly seasonal menus and foraged foods, plans to tie his menus even more closely to the seasons in the new iteration. He says the last service at the current Noma will take place on New Year’s Eve, 2016, with the new location opening sometime in 2017. “It makes sense to have your own farm, as a restaurant of this caliber,” Redzepi said, though he is certainly aware of all the challenges that come with farming. “I’m not afraid. But it does make me nervous.” Read more at the [New York _Times_.](http://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/16/dining/noma-rene-redzepi-urban-farm.html) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4033978/noma-restaurant-close/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4033978/noma-restaurant-close/"},"headline":"Top-Rated Danish Restaurant Noma to Close","datePublished":"2015-09-14T20:38:35.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T08:57:21.733Z","description":"It will reopen as an \"urban farm\"","url":"https://time.com/4033978/noma-restaurant-close/","keywords":["Living","Food & Drink","Denmark","Copenhagen"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltf7b376537d6a6d9b/69886394a988ca80056b454c/redzepi.jpeg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Sarah Begley","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/sarah-begley/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltf7b376537d6a6d9b/69886394a988ca80056b454c/redzepi.jpeg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"LIFESTYLE-FOOD-GASTRONOMY-AWARDS-BRITAIN","caption":"LIFESTYLE-FOOD-GASTRONOMY-AWARDS-BRITAIN","creditText":"CARL COURT—AFP/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-living/","name":"Living"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4033978/noma-restaurant-close/","name":"Top-Rated Danish Restaurant Noma to Close"}}]}] ```
