Aska
Nominated For: Best Chef NYC, Fredrik Berselius
Nordic cuisine is the hottest new trend in New York's culinary scene right now, and leading the pack is Brooklyn chef Fredrik Berselius. Nominated for Best Chef NYC, Berselius' Aska was named #10 Best New Restaurant in America 2013 by Bon Appetit magazine and achieved a two star review by New York Times' Pete Wells. Located in the back of an art gallery in Williamsburg, this 24-seat restaurant highlights Berselius' rustic yet inexplicably cerebral cooking style. Familiar ingredients such as sunchokes and scallops are transformed in new and unexpected ways, and dishes here manage to be simple and complex at the same time. One thing is for sure, whether you order a fancy plate of dry aged duck breast or a humble plate of broccoli, memories of your meal will stay with you long after you've taken your last bite.
Aska, 90 Wythe Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11249
