Maison Sun | Tasting Menu Restaurant in Brooklyn, NY

Maison Sun is an intimate 8-seat chef’s counter tasting menu restaurant nestled in Boerum Hill, Brooklyn, inspired by the Silk Road.

Our cuisine is shaped by French technique and refinement, drawing from historic trade routes, regional traditions, and landscapes that connect Asia and the Hudson Valley.

Each dish reflects a movement of spices, ingredients, and ideas between cultures, translated through the micro-terroirs of our region.

Guests dine at a gleaming stainless steel counter, with a direct view into our open kitchen, centered around a vintage Molteni stove—where every course is prepared and served in real time.

To borrow from the language of dreams, Maison Sun is a dream — conceived long before its inception. The ground beneath our feet in Boerum Hill once carried the ancestral steps of the Lenape people, drawn here by the river’s pull, the soil’s promise, the unseen currents of belonging. We believe the earth remembers. It called them once, and in time, it called us — drawing this house of fire and steel into its story.

The rhythm of our kitchen is the rhythm of history. Each dish traces a journey along the Silk Road — where spices, recipes, and stories once moved between ports and mountain passes. We unite the precision of French technique with the boldness of Asia’s storied flavors, and the humility to honor traditions older than memory, allowing them to speak anew in the present.

We cook to restore — in the truest sense of the word. “Restaurant” comes from the French restaurer — to restore — and we hold that meaning close. Through spice, fire, and time, ingredients are transformed into something greater than themselves. In that transformation, body and spirit are fed alike. Perhaps herein lies the wonder of dining at Maison Sun: our longings are universal, our solitude is not forlorn. We belong.

Maison Sun is the vision of Dr. Gasperi, who envisions cuisine through the lens of architecture — structured, intentional, collaborative in nature. He leads a kitchen team composed of chefs trained in Michelin-starred kitchens, bringing refined French technique to bold, regional Asian flavors. The result is the construction of a culinary experience that frames culture, imagination, and craft.

Dr. Gasperi holds a Ph.D. in German Literature and Philosophy. Before the global pandemic reshaped the world, his ambition was to pursue an academic career. Following graduation, he redirected his intellectual discipline and research acumen toward the culinary world, ultimately becoming a professional restaurateur and sommelier.

Over the next five years, he conceived and led a fine dining series — an underground culinary project featuring rotating guest chefs in secret Manhattan locations. Maison Sun finally brings these experiences together into a refined whole: a dedicated space where technical excellence, narrative intent, and cultural resonance are expressed through food and wine.
