Lava Restaurant

"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."

A Review of Silica Hotel, Iceland | Hotel Above Par

"Carved into an 800-year-old lava wall and a five-minute walk from Silica Hotel, Lava Restaurant is dramatic in that we-don’t-do-candles-because-we-have-actual-fire kind of way, and I found the food holds up: Arctic char, lamb, and a tasting menu that’s just indulgent enough." - Jordi Lippe-McGraw
