"Fiskmarkaðurinn (The Fish Market) The name of this restaurant gives a fairly big clue as to its culinary specialty—i.e., fish. But the market part of the name is equally important, since the kitchenespouses a commitment to fresh ingredients, which are usually purchased from local farmers and fishermen. Spread across two floors inside one of central Reykjavík’s oldest buildings, this smartly decorated spot is run by head chef Hrefna Rósa Sætran (part of the Icelandic National Culinary team), and serves not just fish and seafood but also meat and vegetarian dishes, all prepared in an open kitchen that boasts the country’s only robata grill. There is a separate raw bar serving up sushi and sashimi, and a surprisingly funky cocktail and craft beer menu."

Five star dining experience with exceptional service and creative menu options. If seafood is your thing this is your place. Cod fish, sushi, halibut, salmon are all excellent choices as they were all fresh and flavorful with an elegant presentation. Wonderful seafood soup and a wide selection of appetizers as well. Give this place a try and will not be disappointed.

Great service, nice ambiance, nice fusion food. Sushi/sashimi a bit tasteless & bland, should use more local fishes. Cod very clean and fresh, beef and duck dishes were very nice and unexpected. Outstanding deconstructed cheesecake and chocolate cake

Beautiful Atmosphere with good, but not extraordinary, food. We had a pleasant experience, though it didn't quite live up to the high expectations. The atmosphere is delightful, with a warm and inviting decor that sets the stage for an exciting first impression. Service of the young gentlemen were very friendly and polite. We ordered the tasting menu, anticipating something truly special given the restaurant's reputation as one of the best fish spots in the city. While the food was good, it didn't quite wow us. The starters, was a fried king prawn then a sushi platter, were reminiscent of an “all-you-can-eat” place back in Switzerland. I had hoped for more unique or creative fish preparations. That said, the black cod was definitely the highlight of the meal, showcasing the potential for excellence. Overall, it's a lovely place to enjoy a meal, but the food could use a bit more innovation to match the stunning ambiance. Dessert was also very nice presented and taste.

Another Exquisite Dining Experience Fish Market continues to impress with its exceptional dining experience. Lilja, our wonderful server, recommended the premium tasting menu, which exceeded all expectations. Every dish was a delightful blend of flavors and artistry. We look forward to returning for another unforgettable meal during our next visit to Reykjavik.

This was by far the best meal I have ever had. Ever. The plating was beautiful, the atmosphere is gorgeous and unpretentious. It's a busy place but it doesn't feel like it. Our server, Andri, was knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the food. 10/10.

We had a very lovely evening here from the quality of the food, the atmosphere, the drinks, and the service. All of them were worth 5 stars. If you like good sushi this is a must do. Highly recommend the platter with scallops, wagyu beef, and yellowtail- it tastes just as good as it looks!

WOWOWOW (see video for our applause and excitement)! We’ve eaten at multiple Michelin star establishments coming from Washington, D.C. and New York and at many globally renowned restaurants around the world as heavy travelers and the premium tasting menu here was one of the best prix fixe meals we’ve had. Every single course hit on point from the appetizers, sushi platter, main courses and the amazing deconstructed dessert. If you are a foodie at ALL this is a must stop while in Reykjavík. The servers were also generous enough to provide us with a gratis calamari platter. We came early at 5 PM and enjoyed the serene atmosphere. Reservations recommended!

Upon our arrival in Reykjavik, our hotel concierge said that if we enjoy seafood then we had to try Fish Market! Was he ever right...The fish is extremely high quality and the sushi dishes are out of this world. Miso black Cod is like you've never had before and certainly try their potatoes fried in beer batter!! The service was spectacular and the ambiance was amazing. Snorri, our waiter was extremely attentive and a pleasure to chat with. Must go and ask for Snorri!
