Aska is a two Michelin-starred, Scandinavian restaurant in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, founded by Swedish chef Fredrik Berselius. The name Aska means "ashes" in Swedish.[1]

## History

In 2012, the Michelin guide awarded the restaurant one star and Bon Appetit named it one of the ten best new restaurants in America.[5] In 2016, after relocating, the Michelin guide awarded Aska two stars.[6] That same year, the restaurant earned a three star New York Times review by the critic Pete Wells and a four star review from Eater.[7][8] The Michelin guide has awarded Aska two stars every year since.[9]
