What people say

Nally Preseault
"What do you get when you combine a nearly 200-year-old building, a below-street-level dining room, a grand piano made in Vienna, and a secret menu? The answer is a great dinner in Reykjavík. Matarkjallarinn serves traditional Icelandic dishes with modern twists. Expect fish soup, smoked arctic char, lamb fillets, and panfried cod. Set menus and à la carte dishes are both available. The wine list is decent (not always a given in this city). Be sure to make a reservation in advance."
Bradley Kass
"Expensive, but has a fantastic menu showcasing incredible Icelandic ingredients in more modern forms, making the menu more open to less adventurous eaters."
Marlena Ruthe
"Great place for live music and some amazing food that offers a taste of Icelandic mixed in with their dishes"

Mentioned in these guides

Reykjavík is the capital and largest city in Iceland. It’s also the northernmost capital in the world. The city, on the southwest coast of the island nation, is home to less than 150,000 people (that’s 60% of the total population). It’s by no means sleepy, though. It has a thriving art scene (music festivals, independent record stores, pop-up exhibits) and foodie spots (Michelin restaurants, organic wine bars, coffee culture). A grand church towers over the city. Candy-colored houses line the streets. Thermal swimming pools are gathering spots for most neighborhoods. Northern lights sightings are a real possibility (seasonally, of course). It’s also the jumping-off point for exciting adventures all around the Land of Fire and Ice. Pack for all seasons, as the weather changes frequently throughout the day--no matter what time of year it is. And be prepared to fall in love.
