"One of the best spots to eat in Reykjavík right now doesn't have a Michelin star. It doesn't have a fancy tasting menu either. It actually isn't even a real restaurant. You have to go to Hlemmur Mathöll, the food hall, to find this place. That's right, it's a food stall. A food stall that's serving amazing food.
Welcome to Skál! It's where three friends, who happened to be chefs, decided to experiment with local Icelandic ingredients, natural wines, and craft beers. They were determined to keep the prices reasonable, as well. The result is a casual, friendly spot--just grab a stool--with creative, delicious food. Keep the smaller Icelandic scallops and larger baked Arctic char and line-caught cod in mind as you order. Leave the perfect wine pairing to them.
Update: Skál! moved! It's now a real restaurant on Njálsgata, closer to the center of the city. Looking forward to seeing the new space soon!"

"Stumbled upon this place in a food hall. 10/10 recommend. There's a ton of great drinks on tap and the food is seasonal, but if scallops are on the menu get them!! "
