About the restaurant

Chef Fredrik Berselius brings his love of nature to his urban surroundings through food at Brooklyn's only two Michelin-starred restaurant. With an emphasis on ingredients from the Northeastern region and influenced by his Scandinavian homeland, Aska, Swedish for "ashes," offers a distinctive dining experience through a procession of courses prepared from an open kitchen and served to guests of only ten tables each night.

An Outstanding Experience at Tiny’s Cantina! We had the pleasure of dining at Tiny’s Cantina, and the service was absolutely exceptional! From the warm welcome to the attentive care throughout the meal, every detail reflected their dedication to creating a wonderful experience. The staff went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect, and the food was as delightful as the service. It’s rare to find a place where you feel so genuinely cared for. If you’re looking for a spot that combines amazing flavors with top-notch hospitality, I highly recommend Tiny’s Cantina !!
