Aster is in Varvsstaden, Malmö, in a building dating to 1917. A White Guide profile published in September 2021 describes a restaurant combining Turkish taste influences, vegetables grown near Lund, cooking over fire, cocktails and natural wine.

The profile highlights the small plates, including creamy mushroom toast with roasted onion, garlic and pickled ramsons. Other dishes it describes include skewers of grilled ox heart seasoned with cumin, chilli and pistachio, and a vegetarian plate of squash flowers filled with ricotta, peas and mint. A whole grilled sea bass with romesco sauce is another example from the profile. These are dishes described in 2021, not a current menu.

The room is described as centred on a bar, wood-fired oven and grill. The profile names Şahin Erdal as the chef and says he had worked with the wood-fired oven at Bastard, as well as in the kitchens at Riket and Saltimporten in Malmö and Ekstedt in Stockholm. It describes the service as relaxed and knowledgeable, with advice on wine based on the flavours of a dish. The profile gives no prices, opening hours or suggested visit length.
