Michelin one-star restaurant: Dill focuses on Icelandic ingredients and emphasizes preserving the natural flavors of the ingredients. The dishes are simple in style, but with a touch of unique creativity, creating a wonderfully peculiar taste and dining experience.
Traditional cuisine with a modern twist: Cod fish head cooked in chicken soup is the most characteristic dish here. Before serving, the waiters will use a blowtorch to roast the fish head for final processing. There are three menus available: Icelandic menu (lamb), seafood menu (fish), and vegetarian menu (vegetables).
Holt Hotel - Gallery
Michelin recommended: The Gallery restaurant is located in Hotel Holt and is a high-end restaurant decorated with artworks. The classic dish, smoked cod, has maintained the same recipe since 1966, while innovative dishes such as foie gras brûlée with cherry sorbet are equally refreshing.
Radisson Blu Saga Hotel - Grillið
Michelin recommended: The restaurant, located on the eighth floor of the hotel, is most famous for its panoramic view of Reykjavik. Scallops, beef, beets, and pears are delicately cooked here. Don't forget to try the alcoholic beverages at the restaurant.

Snaps Bistro
Best for a date: The restaurant has a style similar to a French tavern, where customers can see people on the street through large glass windows. The walls are covered with old newspapers. Highly recommended are their duck dishes and cocktails, and the Danish open sandwiches are also excellent.

It specializes in innovative cocktails and offers a menu with various seafood, meat, and vegetarian options. The chefs have extensive experience and have worked in many famous restaurants around the world.
Come to Iceland and try the sushi: I recommend the Simply the Best menu and the Icelandic Feast menu, whether it's a sushi platter, Samba Bash, or Sushi Samba mix, they are all wonderful, and of course, there are also accompanying drinks. The thick soup will be served in a condensed coffee cup, and the waiter will also serve a lobster "cigar" placed in an ashtray.
Most popular restaurant: It features live music performances and a rosewood piano crafted in 1890. On weekends, from 11 PM to 1 AM, it transforms into a bar where you can enjoy cocktails with friends after dinner. Food Cellar specializes in Icelandic cuisine and has become the most popular restaurant among tourists.
Tender scenery at the old port: The restaurant's exterior is very beautiful, and the tender scenery of the old port on a summer night is enchanting. Recommend the Adventure Menu series, where the chef selects 9 exquisite dishes in the Kopar Adventure; in the Fish Adventure, the cod tongue dish will truly take you on a culinary adventure; the Appetizer Adventure includes six most popular delicate dishes.
Perfect fusion of Iceland and Spain: The interesting and famous mix of food here often combines Icelandic ingredients with traditional Spanish snacks, creating a variety of creative dishes. If you want to try some puffin meat, you can also come here for an experience.

Fish Star: The restaurant is located opposite the oldest high school in Reykjavik, convenient location and affordable prices.
