Copenhagen Michelin Restaurant Alchemist to Close Five Months Yearly

Copenhagen restaurant Alchemist will close five months every year.

Diners must plan well in advance for future reservations.

The two-Michelin-star venue will keep about 100 staff members on payroll during closures.

Founder and head chef Rasmus Munk announced the decision in a press release.

The restaurant takes this path despite experiencing an operating loss.

The team will use the break to rethink daily operations.

They also plan to focus on staff development during the downtime.

The decision was reported by The Copenhagen Post.
