What is Asters?

 

Asters is a culinary project which consists of creating a gastronomic dining experience and nourishing the body through food in different locations throughout the Tampa Bay region.

Asters was born from the wish to change our contact with food and combine innovative techniques to provide you with more than just a meal - but a full, interactive adventure. At Asters, there is a total connection between gastronomy and the guest. While the team is working for the exclusive attendees, the guests will have the gastronomic experience of being attended to exclusively.

 
I think preparing food and feeding people brings nourishment not only to our bodies but to our spirits. Feeding people is a way of loving them, in the same way that feeding ourselves is a way of honoring our own createdness and fragility.
— Shauna Niequist
 

Why Asters?

With a rich history in Greek mythology, it is said that the aster was created by the tears of the Greek goddess, Astraea. Named after a common plant, Asters vigorous blooms appear later in the season right when other flowers begin to fade. Being the late-season source of pollen and nectar for bees and butterflies. Asters embodies our belief that simplicity brings more joy than extravagance.

This is not a restaurant, it is the unknown space between the stablished and what has never been created before. It is a space that opens exclusively for you.
It has only one big table, an ideal place in an ideal world. A professional kitchen working for you and your guests. A dream come true that now has the power.


Our Cuisine

A farmer's bounty, an artisan's craftsmanship, and a fisherman's catch. Asters cuisine centers around nostalgia and a reverence for the wild, utilizing a wide variety of preservation methods and inventive techniques. It is a communal dining format, uniquely social among fine dining restaurants which helps make Asters an essential dining experience. Cooking is the language that manifests ideas and passions; its tells a story that has a physical and emotional form. At Aster, our goal is to provide our diners a one of a kind experience, “irreplaceable” as they are “irresistible”. Our diners are what inspires us and that is why all of our menus have tales to tell and why we are influenced by the times we live in - most importantly, by those who choose to share the most universal human conversation: a meal.
