"The Blue Lagoon geothermal spa is one of Iceland’s most visited attractions, and its Lava restaurant has become a big part of making the experience memorable. Set into a lava rock face, the restaurantoffers stellar views over the lagoon and serves international food created by Ingi Þórarinn Friðriksson and his team of experienced chefs in a modern, refined environment. The menu features traditional Icelandic dishes such as arctic char, lobster, and slow-cooked lamb, all updated with modern techniques and ingredients. There are also vegetarian dishes and an array of tasty desserts, set menus at lunchtime, and special menus for kids.The drinks list is impressively broad, with a good selection of cocktails and fine European wines should you want to make an evening of it."

My husband and I had an outstanding 4-course meal to end our trip. He got the non-vegan and I got the vegan one. The cauliflower bisque, scallops mushrooms, carrot barley dish, and this incredibly unique traditional dessert. Everything was top-knotch and prepared so beautifully. The atmosphere was very well done. There was a large lava rock on the back wall and the restaurant overlooked the lagoon, but out of the way of any people. If you're looking for a fancy romantic dinner, this is it! Please note: if you aren't staying at the hotel, it was quite dark with minimal lighting on the walkway and in the parking lot. Just be careful going back, as it was very windy/rainy/dark when we finished.

Beautiful food and overall excellent experience at Lava while visiting the Blue Lagoon. Definitely make a reservation. Lunch was pricey (most things in Iceland are) but the food, presentation, and vibe were all very high quality. We enjoyed their signature cocktail, the arctic char (amazing!), the fish of the day, lamb, and the traditional dessert. Everything was cooked perfectly and delicious!

The food was absolutely delicious. My husband had the short ribs and I had the fish of the day. It was very rich but really worth it. Our son is almost 4 and he had a full chicken breast with salad and fries. He loved it. The server was lovely - helpful with allergies. My husband and I shared the Icelandic dessert and it was so yummy. They even brought our son blueberry sorbet because he was allergic to our dessert. All in all - we are really glad we ate here. Definitely worth it. Also - can’t forget the bread with the Icelandic butter which was to die for!

We came here after our spa experience. Service was quick and the food was amazing. The bread and butter were phenomenal (as every place with bread and butter in Iceland). I had the mushroom soup and my husband had the lobster soup. I got the cod entree which was light and delicious. My husband got the lamb which he also enjoyed.

We had a wonderful lunch at Lava Restaurant during our stay at Silica Hotel, at the end of our honeymoon. The food was excellent — flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented. But what truly made the experience unforgettable was the outstanding service. Our waiter, Szymon Gabriel, was extremely attentive, polite, and kind. He took the time to explain the dishes, guided us with care, and even surprised us with a dessert to celebrate our honeymoon, adding a very special touch to the meal. The food itself is already worth the visit, but his warm and thoughtful service really made all the difference. Thank you for such a memorable experience!

While staying at The Retreat at the Blue Lagoon, you have to fab restaurant choices for dinner. We opted for Lava since we are not fans of Michelin restaurants. Lava is enormous, yet has a great vibe, beautiful bar area and incredible views of lava and the lagoon. Food is delicious from the homemade bread and soups to the fresh fish of the day and local meats. It's an amazing find in a tourist area and highly recommend to visit it and make reservations in advance. Enjoy!

Took my mom here back in 2023 and absolutely loved it. The langoustine soup, strawberry mule, lamb fillet and mango chocolate mousse were amazing ! You get gorgeous views of the lagoon and it’s nice that we were able to dine in our robes. The service was great too
