Le chef René Redzepi ferme l’un de ses restaurants de Copenhague. En effet le restaurant le 108 qui avait ouvert ses portes en 2016, fermera ses portes prochainement « en raison des conséquences négatives de la pandémie mondiale de Covid-19 » a indiqué un communiqué de presse.

Selon ce communiqué publié sur le compte Instagram du restaurant hier, le chef Kristin Baumann démissionne de ses fonctions et de son partenariat comme copropriétaire du restaurant, tandis que les autres partenaires ouvriront autre chose en lieu et place. Le dernier jour de service du 108 sera le 30 septembre prochain

Le 108 était placé à proximité de l’ancien NOMA, table emblématique du chef Redzepi, dans la lignée du Noma le 108 proposait une cuisine créative, originale plus dans l’esprit de la bistronomie mais tout en conservant les codes du NOMA.

Le chef Bauman avait les mains libres pour la création, tandis que le chef Redzepi se positionnait seulement comme partenaire commercial de l’affaire. Noma qui avait fermé un mois au début de la crise pandémique, avait ensuite rallumé ses fourneaux pour proposer une formule bar à vin extérieur, BBQ et burger. Le NOMA a ensuite rouvert et repris son activité normale depuis quelques semaines.

On estime actuellement à environ 2200000 restaurants dans le monde qui pourraient fermer à cause du coronavirus, beaucoup l’ont d’ailleurs déjà fait, d’autres faillites sont à prévoir d’ici la fin de l’année. La restauration haut de gamme, la gastronomie, et les établissements qui n’avaient pas pignon sur rue sont les premiers touchés, l’équilibre économique étant souvent fragile dans ce secteur d’activité.

Dear friends,⠀ ⠀ It is with great sadness that we today announce the closure of Restaurant 108.⠀ ⠀ Due to the negative consequences of the global pandemic, especially the drastic reduction in number of international tourists visiting Copenhagen, we have concluded that it is no longer economically sustainable to continue to operate 108 in the current location.⠀ ⠀ Despite today’s announcement and the closing of this chapter, we are extremely proud of all that we have achieved, and remain hopeful for a future where Restaurant 108 will return to Copenhagen in another location.⠀ ⠀ “I wish to thank every member – past and present – of our incredible team, for helping make 108 a truly special place. I would not have come so far or achieved so much without you. I also wish to thank our guests and our friends within local and international food media, as well as those at The White Guide, Michelin and World’s 50 Best Restaurants, for their many years of support – I am forever grateful to you all.”⠀ ⠀ Says Kristian Baumann, Headchef and co-owner of Restaurant 108⠀ ⠀ The final day of service will be Wednesday, September 30th, 2020.⠀ ⠀ Despite the closure of Restaurant 108, the operating company behind 108 will remain in force, and thus a bankruptcy is avoided, so no one will lose money on this decision, which is of course very important to us.⠀ Kristian Baumann will step down as a co-owner, but the remaining partners will open a new restaurant concept in the current location later this year that better matches the current market conditions.⠀ ⠀ We look forward to seeing and serving you again.⠀ ⠀ Thank you all!⠀ ⠀ Kristian, René and Peter⠀ ⠀ Questions and media enquiries may be directed to Peter Kreiner, Chairman of Restaurant 108, pk@108.dk
