The shut-downs around the world may actually have been an advantage for Scandinavia at this year’s award ceremony,” says Bent Christensen, editor of the Danish Dining Guide, to news agency Ritzau. The reason? You find three of the world’s best restaurants in Scandinavia.
“Scandinavia has benefited from the fact that the judges for a very large part of the time have had the opportunity to visit restaurants”, says Bent Christensen, who has previously been among the judges whose votes the list is based on.
Noma has taken first place on the list four times before – in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2014.
