About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Innovative
  • Fancy
Chef Fredrik Berselius brings his love of nature to his urban surroundings through food at Brooklyn's only two Michelin-starred restaurant. With an emphasis on ingredients from the Northeastern region and influenced by his Scandinavian homeland, Aska, Swedish for "ashes," offers a distinctive dining experience through a procession of courses prepared from an open kitchen and served to guests of only ten tables each night.

From the OpenTable editors: Fredrik Berselius's legendary Scandinavian restaurant has nearly every accolade imaginable—two MICHELIN Stars, a three-star New York Times review, and four stars from Eater. Far from resting on its laurels, the Williamsburg tasting-menu destination continues to showcase the best, hyper-seasonal local ingredients through a boundary-pushing Nordic lens.

ASKA offers an "amazing" culinary journey with a refined 12-14 course tasting menu that blends Scandinavian traditions with local ingredients. The service is "phenomenal," and the wine pairings enhance the experience.

    The food is very good. The service simple and the dishes explained well. My only issue is that chef doesn’t switch up his dishes all that much day after day, year after year. Slight changes to accompaniments or preparations, but this approach makes Aska (for me) a one-time only destination. If there was more variety seasonally, I would consider a return. But if you want to make a restaurant a regular destination, Aska isn’t the place. Once is plenty.

    Our second trip to ASKA did not disappoint! Both times were outstanding experiences, and this one somehow topped the first. Looking forward to our next opportunity to return! And how is this place only 2 stars?!?!?

    Everything was great from the food to the service to the wine recommendations. They had a broken lock in the bathroom which caused an awkward experience. This kind of detail should not be overlooked in a restaurant of this type.
