Celebrated an anniversary here and had a 10+/10 time 🌕
The restaurant is quite cozy with a view of their garden where they grow some of the herbs used for the dishes as well as a clear view of the kitchen and chefs. The vibe is dark and moody and the staff is soft spoken as well though cheery. Unsurprisingly, the service is incredible.
The tasting menu was very carefully and well explained! They add in viewings of the ingredients like - a dead quail feather on and all, live langostine, caviar.
We loved the rye pancake with vendace and the langoustine dish, and we were pleasantly surprised with the last course of dessert nibbles with the favorites being black cocoa cake which was incredible though simple and the black currant candy!
We didn’t order any drinks since we were both feeling a bit under the weather, but the staff treated us with a delicious non alcoholic wine!
Fine dining tasting menus can either be too much food or too little, and this one left me satisfied but able to eat more (:
We came to Aska to celebrate my girlfriend’s 28th birthday, and from the very first moment to the final bite, the experience was flawless. The staff made us feel like we were their best friends—not just guests. There was a warmth and attentiveness throughout the evening that’s incredibly rare, especially at this level.
Aska is truly heaven for a foodie. Every course was intentional, artful, and bursting with flavor, and it was clear that the entire team—from the chefs to the servers—takes deep pride in their craft. One highlight: the wine director came out to personally share her passion for sake, which was unexpected and so special. Another server spoke about Portuguese wines with genuine joy, and even one of the chefs lit up while explaining a specific dish. That level of personal connection made the evening unforgettable.
They even brought out a dessert wine from the 1970s, which was a magical touch—completely unprompted and incredibly thoughtful. Throughout the night, we kept learning little details that made it all even more meaningful, like how the team often goes foraging or takes trips together. You can genuinely feel how close-knit they are, and it shows in how flawlessly they work together.
We also had the chance to meet a few guest chefs visiting from Sweden, and they were incredibly kind and professional—just adding to the sense that this is a world-class operation with heart.
This wasn’t just a meal—it was a memory. I wouldn’t change a single thing. I can’t wait to return again, this time with friends, so they can experience the magic too.
Thank you, Aska, for a night we’ll never forget.
Wow! An Amazing tasting adventure ! Probably the best wine pairings I’ve ever experienced. They graciously accommodated vegetarian tasting as well. Not to be missed!
The food was amazing, truly 2-Michelin star quality. However, my entire experience was ruined when I used the restroom. The door lock didn't work, which led to an uncomfortable moment. This was totally unacceptable. When I complained, it seemed like the waitress already knew about the problem, which makes it even worse, why wasn't it fixed? A restaurant like this should have working locks or someone by the door to ensure guests have privacy. It really left a bad feeling about the whole dinner.
A restaurant that really cares about giving back to the community.
We had a great dinner and experience. The service is impeccable, atmosphere is cozy and unpretentious. As for the tasting menu, I personally loved those single/.few bites portions, each one being a small discovery. The hake, the quails combination around mid-menu goes crescendo. There is a lot of technique but nothing artificial, lots of flavours but balanced, sophisticated yet authentic. In short, thorougly enjoyed it. The wine list goes deep, very good champagne and the sommelier choice of Pommard was just the right one. Highly recommended. Thank you all at Aska for a great evening!

Aska is a hidden gem for those looking to dive into Scandinavian flavors—a true culinary adventure! It’s rare to find a place that embraces Nordic cuisine so authentically, and my only prior experience was, admittedly, IKEA! But Aska took it to an entirely different level, with each dish crafted like a piece of art. The seafood focus was perfect, bringing out the freshness and depth of Northern Europe. Every plate was a visual delight and packed with unique flavors that stayed with me.
The staff couldn’t have been friendlier or more knowledgeable, guiding us through each course with care and insight. If I had one wish, it would be for slightly larger portions, especially at a Michelin-starred restaurant. But the creativity and attention to detail here made it worth every bite. Aska is a memorable experience that transports you straight to the heart of Scandinavia!

As expected, just an extraordinary culinary experience. It did not matter that we went on a Sunday night. Top level service. Both the alcohol pairing and the non-alcohol pairing were sublime. Flavors were rich and deep without being overwhelming.
The entire team from start to finish were true to their standards. We sat through a wonderfully whimsical menu that was not only immersive but tantalizingly playful. Exquisite table-side service and beautifully presented plates. Everything we expected and more, chef Fredrik and his team are very well in tune with their menu and knowledge. We will be returning.
Remarkable cuisine in taste and presentation add up to exceptional overall dining experience. A very pleasant surprise, given the overall decline in restaurant food quality and service since the pandemic.
Amazing dinner. Each course was described well and presented beautifully. They were very accommodating to one of our guests' food allergy. The wine recommendations were spot on. A very memorable experience for our NY trip.
Amazing service by the entire staff. We loved every bite. Can’t wait to be back!
