Two key pillars behind the scenes of the world’s best restaurant are opening a new venue in Busselton.

Restaurant critic and food editor Rob Broadfield said Ben Ing and his Perth-born partner Kirsty Marchant – head chef and head gardener at Noma in Copenhagen – are setting up shop in the South West town.

The duo moved to WA at the end of 2020, leaving local foodies in a spin as to their plans.

Broadfield told Liam Bartlett on 6PR Mornings they next month will unveil Alberta’s, a 50-seater that embodies everything Nordic that anyone into their food will want to try it “at least once”.

“The Margaret River region is just going off in terms of great restaurants and great chefs,” he said.

“It is now the best culinary destination in Australia in my opinion.”

The fine-diner has four times been crowned the world’s top restaurant at The World’s 50 Best awards, the Oscars of the food world, and had a waitlist of 27,000 in 2016 for a pop-up waterfront restaurant in Sydney.
