The 20 Best Restaurants in Reykjavík, Iceland | Eater

"This diminutive eatery, located on increasingly happening Hverfisgata Street, shifted focus away from its original Nordic-Italian concept and now serves a collection of seasonal small plates that don’t fit in neat little boxes. There are dishes like grilled pork belly with wasabi grown in the East Fjords, a selection of lunch-only tacos on house-made flour tortillas with fillings like scallops with mole, and an innovative list of original cocktails." - Nicholas Gill

We’re staying in Reykjavik for end caps of our visit, and saw this place had great reviews and were very intrigued by the menu. What an amazing meal! Our waiter, Ayrton, was a real gem. The food was 10/10. We split the burrata, the baked cheese Wellington, and the teriyaki artic char. All were literally amazing with wonderful flavors, the flavoring highlighted the meal and everything was so well done. We also enjoyed the music playing and the general ambiance. Would 100% dine in again, highly recommend.

Had I not been in Iceland I would have thought I was going to be in an episode of Bar Rescue. Service was horrible. We had to flag down a server for every request from placing our order to water to the check. We had a reservation and it was not busy. I’m not sure how this restaurant rates so well. The food was average, presentation was nicely done.

Simple dishes, yet complex flavour combinations that hit the spot perfectly! Incredibly sweet and knowledgeable waiting staff made us feel so welcome! Highly recommend!

We got the arctic char with potatoes and it was delicious! The place is nicely designed and all the staff were so helpful, friendly and professional. They have a great wine list and cocktail menu. I would definitely come again!

We had the most gorgeous cocktails here, the Mixologist Lawand went above and beyond to explain his vision for his twist on a Negroni. So glad we mamaged to try this one, I'm in love with the hibiscus foam!

I went here with some old friends and had the Arctic char. It was incredible, especially the mashed potatoes and the mustard/butter/caper was to die for. The bartender Lavand was also very skilled and we had this beautiful artisanal Negroni from him. Will definitely come again.

The best artic char in the whole trip! The food was really amazing and the chef was super nice, friendly and professional (you can see him plate all dishes from your table) It was quite busy at night but the food was worth it. Also, I ate my plate SO fast, I couldn’t even take a picture!
