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 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!

Absolutely delicious. I was recommended beef hanger steak with crispy potatoes and cauliflower. The cauliflower dish stole the show for me! Couldn’t have enjoy that meal more. The staff including the chef were kind and friendly!

We literally ate every dish on menu and were completely satisfied. Four of us could not agree on set menu so we ordered everything as our tasting menu. Carrot dip and Gnuda (gnocchi) and spinach were spectacular. No disappointments. Nice view of Danish Embassy

Delicious food, it’s more of a tapas style. Everything was good the waiting was a bit too long considering there weren’t a lot of people but the waiting was worth it! Nice atmosphere too!

This is hands down the best restaurant in Iceland and probably my favorite restaurant in Scandinavia. The cuisine is not “authentic” to any country, but the flavors dance in ways that make you smile with joy and excitement. 10/10 i recommend this place for great drinks and even more amazing food. PS: I also want to thank the phenomenal staff who clearly take pride in their food and it shows in the excellent service

Delicious food , amazing service and the food came it quicker than any other restaurants we’ve tried in this town. The tapas style food is a good alternative to the traditional dinning bistros here. Would definitely come back if I am in Reykjavik.
