The Freckled Moose Is Opening In Astoria!

The Freckled Moose is a traditional American comfort food and bar, and the latest restaurant about to open it’s doors in Astoria’s ever growing cuisine kitchen.

Chef-Owner Peter is a veteran of the hospitality and restaurant industry with a resume spanning well over a decade.

Hailing from Massachusetts, Peter took to the grill early on, helping his grandmother in New England.

Eventually finding his way to New York, the Freckled Moose owner (a name borne from Peters tendency to freckle in the sun) has worked his magic and honed his craft from Mighty Quinn’s Barbecue, Red Hook Lobster Pound too the management of delicious stalls at Smorgasburg in Brooklyn.

Having successfully toured the Manhattan culinary circle, Pete started missing that community feel one grows up with, and so ventured past the skyline, eventually planting his apron right here in Astoria in 2016.

Falling head over heels with the neighborhood, the community and the array of cultures and cuisines, it wasn’t long until Chef Peter wanted to add his own taste of home to the mix.

And so with that in mind, Chef “freckled moose” Peter decided that the best way to encompass his past and the place he now calls home, is to open a restaurant where the community can sit together over some classic comfort dishes, wrapped up in a mellow atmosphere. 

When it comes to the restaurant, the home cooked inspirations continue.

His love of seafood and homestyle cooking, and his favorite Boston dishes – lobster and clam chowder – play a huge part in The Freckled Moose’s menu.

A beer aficionado, Peter has taken time to put together a range of cold brew options that pair well with menu items.

There’s also a close nod to Peter’s first mentor, his Grandmother, who introduced him to her special cookie recipe, which you will also find available.
