We had visited Mikkeller in Copenhagen so we're keen to visit again. It had the best selection of beers of the places we have been in Reykjavik, however was the most expensive! In addition it didn't have a happy hour, like many other places do.

Lamb shoulder for 2 plus a couple of stouts = bliss! We were 2 for dinner on a weeknight. Service was friendly and efficient. Seating was a little cramped but not impossible. The lamb was delectable; too many frozen peas but everything else was fresh and delicious. Highly recommended.

Went with my wife and had a good draft beer and great burger (several choices on menu) and amazing (large!) Brownie for dessert. Really enjoyed the dinner and service team. In line with other Reykjavik restaurants it was not cheap but we would absolutely reccomended.

Try the Icelandic Gourmet feast to get a bite of several local cuisines: puffin, whale, Artic char, lamb, line (fish), lobster and skyr. Everything was perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. The tapas were great too! The best thing though was the staff- very friendly, professional and hospitable. This was recommended by a friend and now I am about to recommend to all my friends visiting Iceland. Def a must in Reykjavik- youâll be missing out if you donât eat here!

Surprise and seductive are the keywords at the bar. Traditional cocktails meet new waves of the cocktail world. You can enjoy a nice drink on our terrace by the harbor at the happy hour or sit outside after a nice dinner with coffee and cognac. Experience

Ordered the cod. Was fresh (locally caught) and absolutely melt-in-your-mouth delightful. Service was excellent. Other items were very tasty and well done too.

We wanted to try the traditional Icelandic lamb soup and it felt that it should be eaten in some place other than a restaurant so we went to the ale house! Good pub environment, got lucky with happy hour for the beers and had their lamb soup. The food was good - really it is a lamb hot pot in a lot of stock. It was generously loaded with lamb and vegetables and was filling. The bread that accompanied it was the strangest that I have ever had though. It was dark, was slightly greasy in texture - a bit like fried bread and came with some form of spread. To this day I have no idea what either was. They had a taste that was very different and strangely more-ish considering that I had no idea what I was eating. Nice enough not to be good for me probably! If you just want a simple but good meal in a decent pub then why not give it a go.

Icelandic through and through. Icelandic cuisine with a twist. Not touristy, more the place for travelers to mix with the locals. The only bar in the world that serves all Icelandic beers and spirits.

We ate dinner here after visiting with Wake Up Reykjavik. I had the reindeer burger and my husband had the lamb burger. The service was prompt and food was fantastic. We also tasted the fermented shark and dried cod on the tour. Both were great. Meat soup and fish soup were both tasty.

Serves beer & fabulous soups in bread. This evenings choices were a veggie soup with coriander and the meat one had beef, lamb and vegetables. We tried the meat one which was delicious- more a stew than soup but filling & great value at 1950isk. The IPA beer was crisp and citrusy as it should be.

We were staying locally so checked out Blik for dinner one evening. We reserved our table online which was an easy process, and were given a table by the window - so we were treated to a sensational sunset. Me u was small, but definitely something for everyone. Food was good and reasonably priced by Iceland standards, and service with a smile. A memorable evening for all the right reasons.
