$$$ Fodor's Choice

This restaurant inside the Reykjavík EDITION Hotel is a fantastic spot for a celebration dinner. There is a set menu available, but the friendly staff will also help you choose from the many à la carte seafood dishes, cocktails, and wines on offer.

Fish Company

$$$ | Miðbær

Tucked into a cozy downtown cellar, Fish Company is a love letter to Icelandic ingredients with a globetrotting soul. Chef-driven and unafraid to experiment, expect dishes like Arctic char with unexpected international flair. The vibe is intimate, sleek, and a bit mysterious—ideal for date nights or marking a special occasion. It’s where Reykjavík fine dining meets delicious, creative storytelling. Their lunch menu sushi platters are a favorite, but you really can't go wrong with anything at this local institution.

Hnoss

$$$$

Located inside of Harpa Concert Hall, Hnoss is a picturesque place to go for a delectable weekend brunch. The bistro also offers a lunch menu on weekdays and opens for dinner when larger events are taking place in Harpa, making it an ideal spot for a preshow bite to eat or a postconcert drink.
