Michelin one-star restaurant: Dill focuses on Icelandic ingredients, emphasizing the preservation of the natural flavors of the ingredients. The dishes are simple in style but have a touch of quirky creativity, creating a rather wonderful taste and dining experience.
Traditional cuisine with a modern twist: Cod head cooked in chicken broth is the most distinctive dish here; before serving, the waiter will use a blowtorch to sear the fish head for the final touch. There are three menus: Icelandic menu (lamb), seafood menu (fish), and vegetarian menu (vegetables).
Hotel Holt - Gallery
Michelin Recommended: The Gallery restaurant is located within Hotel Holt and is an upscale restaurant adorned with artworks. The classic dish, smoked cod, has maintained the same recipe since 1966, while innovative dishes are equally refreshing, such as the combination of foie gras brûlée and cherry sorbet.

Enjoy sushi in Iceland: We recommend the Simply the Best menu and the Icelandic Feast menu.

The soup is served in an espresso cup, and the waiter will also present a lobster 'cigar' placed in an ashtray.

The adventure menu series is recommended. In Kopar Adventure, the chef selects 9 dishes; in Fish Adventure, the cod tongue dish will truly make you 'adventure' in your heart; and in Appetizer Adventure, six of the most popular exquisite dishes are gathered.

Star of Fish: The restaurant is conveniently located opposite the oldest high school in Reykjavik, offering affordable prices. However, the main dishes on the menu are only fish and vegetarian.
