What people say
Nally Preseault
"If you start to get a bit bored with Iceland's clean, simple dishes (seafood soup, cod, lamb), you should make a reservation at Mat Bar on Hverfisgata. The small restaurant serves (mostly) small plates that are flavor bombs cooked (largely) on an open-fire grill. Scallops are placed on an aioli. A burnt carrot dip is mixed with chilis and cashews. Baked cheese is covered with wasabi honey. Plus mustard and ponzu cover the ling.
Mat Bar's space is just as colorful as its dishes. There's a black-and-white-checkered floor, green walls, and brass accents. The servers are friendly and happy to go into great detail about the food. While the cocktails definitely shouldn't be overlooked."
