About the restaurant

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.

Aska delivers an extraordinary culinary journey in a beautifully restored 1860s Williamsburg warehouse. Chef Fredrik Berselius masterfully blends Scandinavian traditions with local Northeast ingredients in a refined 12-14 course tasting menu. The intimate setting of just 10 tables creates the perfect ambiance, with impeccable yet approachable service. Each dish showcases subtle, delicate flavors that reflect both technical excellence and creative innovation. While portions are modest, the expertly crafted dishes and wine pairings create an unforgettable fine dining experience worthy of its two Michelin stars.

It was exactly what we wanted for our Christmas Day in New York. Would 100% recommend and would love to go back. The food was delicious and the staff were wonderful and so friendly. It was great to be able to choose from the a la carte menu as often restaurants have a set menu on Christmas Day so this was an added bonus. Thank you for a great experience.

My friend and I had an absolutely beautiful night on a Christmas night. Great service, delicious food with chic cozy atmosphere. We sat by the corner window and felt a cold draft throughout the dinner, so I recommend dressing up warm for dining in the winter season. Highly recommended.
