Splurge in Reykjavik
If you're willing to spend the money, you'll have no problem finding world class dining in Reykjavík. In addition to some great fish restaurants, most of the world's popular cuisine is represented in Reykjavík's up-scale dining in one form or another.
Argentína Steakhouse, Barónsstígur 11, ☎ +354 551 9555 ( ), . It's not exactly an Icelandic tradition, but Argentína is a great place to go for quality beef steaks. 6,000-8,000 kr.. �
Dill, Nordic house, Sturlugata 5, ☎ +354 552 1522, . Part of a growing trend called “new Nordic food” (most famously promoted by Noma restaurant in Copenhagen), this small restaurant prides itself in using local ingredients, many of them sourced from a vegetable garden next to the building. �
Fish Company (Fiskifélagið), Vesturgata 2a (across the street from the tourist information centre), ☎ +354 552 5300 ( ), . One of the most recent additions to the flora of fish restaurants, in the basement of a recently renovated old timber house literally standing in the original harbour of Reykjavík. 5,000-6,000 kr.. �
Grillið, Hagatorg (in Radison Blu Saga Hotel), ☎ +354 525 9960, . A classic French restaurant that has been open for service for over forty years. �
Hotel Holt, Bergstaðastræti 37, ☎ +354 552 5700, . A staple of the city's up-scale dining landscape. Thick carpets, art over dark wood panels, french cuisine, an extensive wine cellar, the country's most expansive collection of single malts. 5,000-6,000 kr.. �
Humarhúsið, Amtmannsstíg 1, ☎ +354 561 3303, . Specialising in lobster (the name means Lobster House) and on the expensive end, but has exquisite food that the prices reflect. 5,000-6,000 kr.. �
Perlan, Öskjuhlíð, ☎ +354 562 0200, . On the top of Öskjuhlíð, overlooking the city, sits Perlan with its rotating restaurant. It's an expensive place to dine but of course it's pretty unique and gives you a second-to-none view over Reykjavik so it's understandable how they can push the prices up. If you dine at the Perlan be sure to have the lamb, absolutely fantastic. �
Sjávarkjallarinn, Aðalstræti 2, ☎ +354 511 1211, . A great seafood restaurant, a must for those who prefer fish. Be aware though that it is very popular so reserving a table is probably required. 5,000-6,000 kr.. �
