Nordic Michelin star awards pushed to September

With the restaurants still going through the process of reopening, the organisers need a bit more time to assess the gastronomy landscape in Denmark

Gastronomy pundits eager to devour Michelin star brilliance in Denmark will be required to exercise a little more patience … again.

The Michelin Guide has announced it will postpone the presentation of its prestigious Michelin Guide Nordic Countries 2021 until September.

This will give the organisers more time to assess the effect of the COVID-19 lockdown, as well as providing an opportunity to celebrate the unveiling in a better context. 

The event brings together the best restaurants in the Nordics at an awards ceremony where the vaunted Michelin stars will be handed out.
