"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."

Fish market is a great place to have a very good meal. I've been here few times over the past years. Always good. I think with a 5 or 7 course meal the portions could be little smaller. But thats just details. Recommended for a dinner anyway. Will go again.

One of the best dinning experiences I’ve ever had. Service was a tad slower than what I’m used to, but the atmosphere made chilling here awesome! Got seated watching the chef’s work and it was amazing. Ariel working the Maki was super awesome and interactive with us and the hostess Megalina was awesome too. Would recommend to anyone

Angela was our server and she’d and those who helped her were FABULOUS!! She gave us a description of the food and some info about the preparation. We enjoyed every dish!! The desert itself is worth a visit.

We ordered their premium tasting menu for three people. Most of the food was great. The yellow tail tartar was the best out of all that we ate. Beef tataki was super savory. Plenty of dessert at the end. The miso black cod was a bit of a let down. Could not taste the freshness of the fish, the sweet flavor was too overpowering. The coconut rice and the rice on the nigiri and the rolls were not cooked properly as well, they were a bit hard. The sharing concept was a good idea but the portions for three people were too little to share especially on the mains. For the price, the total food quality and portion was a bit disappointing. My expectations were high for this place and they came up a bit short. On the plus side, the staff were attentive and service was great.

The food was nothing short of phenomenal. The atmosphere struck the perfect balance between cozy and vibrant, making it a truly memorable dining experience. Bartos’ service was exceptional. He was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. We’ll definitely be coming back the next time we’re in Iceland!

Phenomenal food and service. Amazing fresh seafood. We ordered the “Premium Tasting Menu” set. It was a lovely 7-course meal served one dish at a time. This was definitely a must-visit restaurant in Reykjavik. It’s Michelin worthy! Our server, Angela, was very friendly, attentive and checked on us often to be sure we enjoyed every dish and time there. All the other staff who served us were knowledgeable and friendly too! Thank you! Reservations are highly recommended.
