Monkeys Reykjavik

Amazing experience. Came for my birthday dinner. The staff are excellent. Pricy but very generous portion sizes. Took the set menu. The staff kindly swapped the beef portions out. Can recommend heavily for special occasions. The decor is lovely. Sometimes there are great offers too.

Tasty, stylish – but pricey Monkeys is a cool and modern restaurant with a fun atmosphere and really tasty food. The dishes are creative and nicely presented, but the portions are quite small. If you're really hungry, plan to spend around €80 per person without drinks to feel full. It’s definitely on the expensive side, but the quality is very good. Great place for a special evening – just don’t expect to leave with a full wallet.

Ambiance: This is such a GREAT restaurant. I loved the vibe. It felt like an upscale antique shop. I lighting just enhanced the entire experience. It’s a great spot for date night or a small group dinner. The chairs are comfortable and they’ve set up tables in a manner that gives you space/privacy. Service: Everyone was friendly. We came only 30 minutes before closing but they were very kinda and still allowed to dine in. They also didn’t rush us as we figured out what we wanted to order and even offered us dessert at the end of the meal. They came and checked in on us often and were very helpful. Price: This is a pricey restaurant. We paid about 12000 Krono ($90 USD) per person. Food: I LOVED the food here. It’s amazing and they had such amazing selections for vegetarian/vegan. I got the mushroom maki, watermelon carpaccio, fried crispy plantains, crispy vegetable gyozas, and miso sesame steak. The mushroom maki was some of the best sushi i’ve had and the crispy mushroom on top really enhanced the flavors. The watermelon carpaccio is different and delicious. The pine nuts really enhanced the flavor and mixed well with the mushroom mayo. The watermelon was cut thinly and grilled to the right degree. The fried crispy plantain was nice, I’ve had something similar before but the guacamole that came with it was perfectly seasoned. The vegetable gyzozas were perfectly crispy. I rarely get gyozas as this level. The stuffing was the perfectly blend of salty, spicy, and sweet. The steak was good but very filling. I liked the seasoning on it, it’s very different than the usual veggie steaks. Insta: @TheShahLALand

What a lovely restaurant. The interiors are just gorgeous, very glam 1920s sophisticated feel. They were very busy which is a good sign but they fitted us in. The staff was very friendly and all immaculately dressed to match the interiors. I had the reindeer, my friend a vegetarian option. Everything was delicious, best food we had eaten in Reykjavik . Wish we had found this restaurant earlier in our trip, rather than on our last night . Its a must eat place in my opinion, give it a try, you won't be disappointed.😊

Such a beautiful restaurant and bar! The interior was stunning, 1920s style! The selection of drinks was amazing! Very unique and a must when visiting Iceland!

We got in right away without a reservation. Restaurant was appropriately themed and very attractive. Our server was very attentive and we waited for nothing. The food was amazing. Get the dessert platter to top it all off!

Really fantastic atmosphere, and great place to eat. Each plate is delicious.

The miso cod was one of the most delicious things I’ve ever had. It was prepared perfectly, definitely get it cooked to the chef’s recommendation, it was truly wonderful! This is also a beautiful restaurant with so many unique touches, be sure to walk around and see it all. They also had a fantastic wine selection. Definitely recommend going with a group so you can share things!
