TIDES Restaurant

On the ground floor of The Edition Hotel in downtown Reykjavik, you'll find the stunning restaurant Tides. For the past two years, Tides has received a Michelin Guide recommendation, and it truly lives up to that prestigious recognition. Every dish was beautifully presented, delicious, and unique. Tides offers a comfortable atmosphere with relaxing music. It's worth heading up to The Roof, the bar on the top floor, either before or after your meal—or both. The view from there is absolutely breathtaking. Sometimes, you just have to treat yourself. Tides restaurant: One of the best restaurants in Iceland.

This was our most memorable dinner of our 8-night stay throughout Iceland. Pricey, but SO worth it! The restaurant is simply stunning. The lighting, music and decor all combine to create the most incredible atmosphere. The service is beyond top notch. We had a special birthday for one of our family members, and the chefs went above and beyond to accommodate his dietary restrictions (vegan) in creating a delicious appetizer and over-the-top dessert. Highest compliments to the chefs! Filipe, the bartender, makes craft cocktails as good as they get (try the Mexican Old Fashioned). Our server, Victor, was so attentive and skilled. Just a 10/10 experience all the way around.

Fairly disappointing all round for the cost. Food was very hit and miss - the croquettes were sublime, though muscles were average and soup served lukewarm. Mains were all ok, but nothing special or memorable. The service was particularly poor - although friendly, we had to ask three times for a spoon to actually eat the soup, had to ask for the cocktails to come as they had been forgotten, and the brioche came at least 5 minutes after the mussels had been given as the starter. Wouldn’t return unfortunately.

We were staying in the hotel and that was the reason we choose to have a dinner here. It was a charming experience! The service was the best, the food quality and testing delightful! Everything was superb. Thank you!

One of the culinary highlights during our stay in Iceland was undoubtedly this restaurant at The Edition. Though this menu wasn’t focused on traditional Icelandic dishes, the flavors, presentation, and ambiance made this one of our most memorable family meals. Conveniently located within the hotel, it’s a spot I’d highly recommend even if you’re staying elsewhere in the city. We started our evening with a few appetizers, and the standout was the mussels. Served in a fragrant broth, they were tender and perfectly seasoned, making each bite a delightful experience. The broth was rich yet balanced, perfect for dipping the accompanying crusty bread. The tuna tartar followed, showcasing fresh, high-quality fish with just the right amount of seasoning. It was light, refreshing, and had a lovely balance of acidity that prepared our palates for the main courses. For our entrees, we ordered a mix to share family-style. The chicken was incredibly juicy, with a crispy skin that delivered both texture and flavor. It was well-paired with seasonal vegetables, adding a touch of freshness to the dish. The lamb gnocchi was a highlight—the tender lamb melted in your mouth, complemented by pillowy gnocchi. The sauce had depth, rich with a hint of sweetness that tied the dish together beautifully. Lastly, the saffron risotto was creamy and luxurious, the saffron imparting a delicate floral note that didn’t overpower. It was perfectly cooked, with each grain maintaining a slight firmness, creating a delightful contrast to the creamy sauce. Overall, the meal was a testament to the chef’s skill and attention to detail, with a modern twist on classic flavors that left us thoroughly satisfied. Service was impeccable, and every dish arrived with perfect timing, allowing us to enjoy a leisurely and delightful family dinner. A must-visit for anyone in Reykjavik, whether you’re a guest at The Edition or just in the mood for a fantastic meal in a sophisticated setting.

We went at lunch, so a little quiet, but really warm a elegant setup. Our waiter was really attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. I had the beef cheek, which I really enjoyed. We both had the soup of the day, which wasn't to my taste but my wife enjoy. She had the langoustine, which she liked, but felt there was too much bread. But she loved the lemon curd tart, which I think was her favourite bit of the meal.

Def one of the biggest highlight of our Iceland trip. We had both dinner and breakfast. Both were amazing and the staffs were friendly and helpful when I’m having trouble deciding what to get. For dinner, we had Icelandic lamb filet and the arctic char. They managed to make the skin so crusty and flavorful. The arctic char tasted pretty much like salmon, just letting people like me who didn’t knew in the beginning. The breakfast was a decent buffet. They even have different flavors of honey.

We dined at Tides restaurant and it was a good experience overall. Food was good (one of the best we had in Iceland) We went with a chef recommendation 4 course. Food was inactive and portions were good size. They served a freshly baked popover and it was a great start. 1000 day aged cheese served on endive was refreshing with amazing flavor. Absolutely love it. Salmon tataki was good and lamb fillet was tender and flavorful. Red currant sauce complimented the dish. My Steak, Uruguay Ribeye was wonderful. Well cooked and mashed potatoes w portobello was perfect. Dessert was not something I expected. I would say it was different. It tasted like chewy brownie. Service can be improved. Servers were friendly, but they can be at the next level if servers get trained for fine dining (learn how to clear plate, and not to ask clients who gets what dish) Ambience was beautiful, esp when you dine at sunset. Overlooking the harbor, it was romantic and wonderful dining experience.
