## About Aska

Fredrik Berselius runs Aska out of a raw, timber-beamed warehouse a block off the Williamsburg waterfront, and the room tells you what to expect before the first course lands: exposed brick, a wall of live-edge oak, a kitchen that hums rather than shouts. The tasting menu moves through preserved and foraged ingredients — spruce, sea buckthorn, birch, cultured dairy held for months in the restaurant's own fermentation cellar — assembled with a restraint that reads as confidence, not minimalism for its own sake. Smoke and acid do more work here than salt. It is a serious, deliberate meal, built for diners who want technique on display without theater around it.

## Menu highlights

1. ★★★★★ 5.0 Editorial sample The fermented lingonberry with the duck course was the single best bite I've had in New York this year — no exaggeration. Pacing was unhurried but never dragged over three and a half hours. — Priya Natarajan · 14 May 2026 Response from Aska Thank you, Priya — that duck course is close to our hearts, glad it landed. We hope to host you again soon.
2. ★★★★☆ 4.0 Editorial sample Genuinely inventive food and the cellar-aged dairy dessert is worth the trip alone, though the wine pairing markup felt steep even for this category. — Marcus Feldman · 2 April 2026

### How far in advance should I book a table at Aska?

Reservations open on a rolling monthly basis and the room is small, so plan to book four to six weeks ahead — earlier for Friday or Saturday seatings.

### Is there a shorter option than the full tasting menu at Aska?

No. Aska serves a single multi-course tasting menu per seating, built around whatever the fermentation cellar and foraging partners have that week, with an optional wine or non-alcoholic pairing.
