Although this year’s Michelin Guide to New York City shouldn’t be released for a few days, thanks to an eagle-eyed shopped over at Eater, we’ve privy to this year’s top ranked restaurants a little early.
Eater managed to get their hands on a copy of the guide at McNally Jackson Books in Soho, and they’re reporting that Aska, Fredrik Berselius’s tasting menu spot, is among the spots that won big this year — Michelin awarded the Williamsburg establishment two stars.
Michelin defines their one-star rating as “a very good restaurant in its category,” two stars as “excellent cuisine, worth a detour,” and a restaurant with three stars as “exceptional cuisine” that is “worth a special journey.”
According to Eater, for a sixth straight year, no new restaurants were admitted into the three star category, and as we reported last week, The Spotted Pig is sans star for the first time since 2005.
