Aska announces residency in Copenhagen’s Tivoli Gardens

Aska, the two Michelin-starred restaurant based in Brooklyn, New York, is set to open a month-long residency in Copenhagen’s Tivoli Gardens from July 18th to August 18th. This marks a unique opportunity for Danish diners to experience the restaurant’s acclaimed North American interpretation of New Nordic cuisine, led by Swedish chef Fredrik Berselius.

Renowned for his innovative approach that has captivated both guests and critics in New York, Berselius will bring a taste of his Brooklyn establishment to Copenhagen. Aska has quickly risen to prominence since its opening, earning two Michelin stars and a three-star review in the New York Times, largely due to the chef’s distinctive blend of nature and urban elements in his cooking.

The residency in Tivoli Gardens will feature a selection of dishes that showcase the particular ingredients and flavour combinations that have made the restaurant a must-visit destination for food enthusiasts around the globe. Berselius’s menu is heavily inspired by his Swedish heritage and his love for the landscapes of both Sweden and northeastern America. Diners can expect recipes elevating the local produce, such as scallops with elderflower-infused browned butter and grilled red king crab leg with al dente potatoes.

Berselius expressed his excitement about the upcoming residency, stating, “When we visit Tivoli Gardens this summer, we will bring a variety of ingredients sourced from nature and farms in the wilds of upstate New York, as well as oils and vinegars crafted in our Brooklyn restaurant. I am truly excited to introduce a taste of New York to Tivoli Gardens.”

Aska’s journey began with Berselius’s vision to create a dining experience that draws parallels between the wilderness of northeastern America and Swedish environemtns. The restaurant’s name, Aska (Swedish for “ashes”), is inspired by Norse mythology and symbolizes new life and regeneration, themes that are central to the chef’s culinary philosophy.

Fredrik Berselius can boast a career that includes stints at esteemed New York establishents such as Per Se and Aquavit before opening his own project. His commitment to blending Swedish culinary traditions with the diverse urban landscape of Brooklyn has garnered widespread acclaim.
