World’s Top Restaurant Noma Can’t Turn Profit on $700 Lunch Menu
- Eatery lost money in 2021 even after receiving government aid
- Noma has three Michelin stars and is No.1 on World’s Best list
Noma, the Copenhagen restaurant which has repeatedly been voted the world’s best, lost money for the first time in four years in 2021 even after receiving Covid-19 support from the Danish government.
The restaurant booked a net loss of 1.69 million kroner ($240,000) after recording a tiny profit in 2020, according to a filing with the Danish Business Authority. Noma received 10.9 million kroner in government compensation as Denmark imposed virus lockdowns for parts of the year.
