"The Blue Lagoon geothermal spa is one of Iceland’s most visited attractions, and its Lava restaurant has become a big part of making the experience memorable. Set into a lava rock face, the restaurantoffers stellar views over the lagoon and serves international food created by Ingi Þórarinn Friðriksson and his team of experienced chefs in a modern, refined environment. The menu features traditional Icelandic dishes such as arctic char, lobster, and slow-cooked lamb, all updated with modern techniques and ingredients. There are also vegetarian dishes and an array of tasty desserts, set menus at lunchtime, and special menus for kids.The drinks list is impressively broad, with a good selection of cocktails and fine European wines should you want to make an evening of it."

This restaurant is masterful! The food is truly beautiful, a taste sensation. It makes my mouth water to think about. We were there celebrating having been together for 10 years! It was a special place to be and dinner was just amazing.

Awesome place for dinning before or after a blue lagoon experience or spa. The service was attentive, food top notch and atmosphere truly unique to here. We each had a two course which is plenty for a hearty lunch.

We had a great lunch here after two hours in the Blue Lagoon. We both got the two course menu which came with bread, a starter, and a main. We had the mushroom soup and the cod, which were both delicious. We had a beautiful view of the lagoon while we were dining. Service was good. You’re able to wear your robe into the restaurant following your time in the Blue Lagoon.

This was our opening lunch to begin our Icelandic vacation. We spent about two hours in the springs and then went for a leisurely walk around the property. Once the restaurant opened we were seated at a table next to a window with a nice view of the springs. My wife started with the beet salad and my friend and I had the seafood soup. Outstanding! Next was the Cod and another of our friends had the lamb. Again, just excellent. What a memorable way to start our vacation!

We decided to eat here after our soak in the Blue Lagoon because it was my husband’s birthday. We weren’t expecting much because our experiences with some places in Iceland weren’t pleasant, and given that this is a tourist spot. However, our experience here was exceptional. The portions were big and left me completely satisfied after the meal. (we got the 4-course set menu) The whipped butter with skyr was delicious, the cauliflower soup and salmon dish were amazing, the lamb was just okay but I was already too full at this point. The mango sorbet with coconut was to die for!! So good, I could eat 2 servings. Last but not least, our server, Giacomo, was the best. He was so attentive and even accommodated my last minute request to add a Happy Birthday to my husband’s dessert. We had a great time, thank you!

We went to the Lava restaurant for dinner after visiting the blue lagoon, the service was great they kindly accommodated us even though we had originally booked a later time slot. I had the langoustine soup and fish of the day but my favorite was definitely the creme brulee dessert. Atmosphere was nice and it had a great view of the lagoon.

The food was excellent, and the restaurant was beautiful. I enjoyed the stunning view of the rocks and water through the tall, floor-to-ceiling windows. They offered vegan options, my cauliflower was yum! The staff was attentive and answered all our questions. It was the perfect way to conclude our visit to the Blue Lagoon.

This place was simply incredible. The staff were kind and attentive and the food was out of this world. The lamb was cooked to perfection and all of the food was picture perfect. 10/10 highly recommend.
