Ren\u00e9 Redzepi has decided to withdraw from the <a href=\"https:\/\/noma.dk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"><strong>Noma<\/strong><\/a> project following an investigation published by the New York Times and relayed by several international media, in which dozens of former employees describe a working climate marked by physical and psychological violence, as well as repeated humiliations within the kitchens of the famous Copenhagen restaurant. <\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a public statement, the chef acknowledged some of the facts and expressed his regrets, saying that &#8220;an apology is not enough&#8221; in the face of the suffering evoked by some former collaborators. Founder of Noma in 2003, chef Ren\u00e9 Redzepi has had a profound impact on world gastronomy, exporting the &#8220;new Nordic cuisine&#8221; centered on local produce, fermentation and a radically creative approach to terroir. The restaurant has repeatedly been named best restaurant in the world and boasts three Michelin stars.  <\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The chef&#8217;s resignation also comes as Noma prepares to launch a much-anticipated residence in Los Angeles, the opening of which has been disrupted by protests and the withdrawal of several partners.
