Fiskmarkaðurinn / Fish Market

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.

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.

In a word, amazing!!! Great fresh seafood and Japanese inspired cuisine with outstanding presentation and plating. Service was friendly and efficient, but could have been slightly better. Very cozy environment.

Best restaurant I’ve been in Reykjavik and one of the best food experiences in my life. Food is amazing, atmosphere is very nice and the people are very friendly. Can’t wait to come back!

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!

We had a great evening! The food: we shared the langoustines, then had the starter platter (scallops, yellow tail tuna and wagyu tataki) and finally completed our meal with the Fish gourmet plate : Just Amazing! Our waiter, Kostas, was friendly and very professional and help full with choosing our plates! The ambiance is great, even on a Wednesday night!

Exquisite dishes and fresh seafood. The soup was rich and delicious. Service from Lund was attentive and excellent.

Really cool vibe & friendly staff. We got the tasting menu for about $107 USD a piece. Overall, some of the food was delicious and some was not. The scallop tartare was bland, the sauce served with the duck entree was not out favorite, the Arctic char was bland but cooked perfectly, and we were served the duck entree twice by mistake (makes us wonder if we missed out on a different course item). High points were the quality of the sashimi, staff were very nice and helpful, they served a good amount of food, and the ambiance was top-tier. My friends really enjoyed the drink selection. For a fine dining establishment, I was expecting a lot more. Nothing (other than dessert) really felt unique & nothing really blew me away. I left full but disappointed.
