VOX Brasserie & Bar on Postcard

"Reykjavík’s upscale Vox restaurant lies within the lobby of the Hilton Reykjavík Nordica hotel. Decorated in the same style as the hotel—which means a designthat is minimal but welcoming, with a color scheme of whites, beiges, and browns offset bypaper lanterns and wooden floors—the venue is split between a casual bistro offering a range of light meals and a formal restaurant with a more ambitious menu in the evenings—plusa popular lunchtime buffet serving hot and cold dishes spanning Mediterranean fare, sushi, and Indonesian-style curries. The à la carte dinner menu features New Nordic dishes includinglamb, fish, duck, and goose, with the option of a fixed-price, five-course seasonal servicethat can be accompanied by an impressive range of wine and champagne options from around the world."

The best place to try smoked puffin.

I’m surprised by the reviews here complimenting breakfast but not dinner. I’ve had both here - breakfast was solid; a decent spread with mangoes for your Icelandic yogurt, smoked lamb, and some other nice touches - but nothing extraordinary. Service was ok. Dinner though - service, presentation, food - everything was great. Ribeye could’ve been a tad more tender but lamb and burrata were excellent. Outstanding service too!

I got try it for dinner and breakfast. The breakfast absolutely amazing!!!! But the dinner, If you like taste rich of everything this is the restaurant you can try but we don’t really like it that much. The taste is good but when you keep eating, the foods were too thick and rich. We got lamb steak and it just only comes with the lamb and sauce. Lamb is good tender and wine sauce paired perfectly with it but you have to order side dish separately and the price is too expensive. The salad is too plain not enough dressing but you can ask for more. The mushroom soup is too thick. Overall I would recommend just breakfast….

My husband and I went here on a whim. I cannot recommend it enough. The Reykjavik mule was 10/10. We did tapas and had: pan fried perch, potatoes, carrots, butternut risotto, and the seafood soup. Everything was amazing and gluten free. I will be back!

It is one of the best restaurants for lamb steaks in Iceland 🇮🇸 I went to this place two times During my stay in Reykjavik. I have tried two items each time. Lobster soap & Lamb steak 🥩 The soap was very tasty and the lamb was very tender and soft due to the slow cooking. I strongly recommend this place for any one will visit Reykjavík. Rating 5/5 🤙

The presentation of the food was amazing. The taste was mediocre. The service was… odd. My father ordered the light plate of Arctic Char. He requested no sauce as he just wanted to taste the fish. He was told he could not order it as a meal because it was only two small bites. He reassured the waitress that a very small amount of food was fine as he was not really hungry. He just wanted to taste the Char. The waitress became more insistent that he could not order it, so he decided not to order anything at all. I ordered the halibut and Skyr dessert. The halibut was good, but nothing exceptional. The sauce was over salted, but still edible. The Skyr was wonderful and made the price of the entire meal worthwhile. I feel like we would’ve had better service if we dressed formally.

Very contemporary restaurant, food also tests good, directly across from the US Embassy in Iceland.

We had an exceptional experience at their high tea and bar- this comment is for their dinner service at Vox brasserie on a Saturday evening. The waiter was polite, took our drink orders, but even though we were done with our appetizers- no drinks appeared. I ordered a glass of wine instead and it arrived instantly and then I cancelled my cocktail order as I now had a glass of wine. A minute anfter I cancelled my cocktail, ordered the lemon sole and it was served with all of the bones- by bones I mean over 30 and it was a filet not a whole fish. Disappointed- and then shocked that the waiter told me that it is intended to be served that way- so if you want bones with a bite of fish- this is your place.

VOX had a very upscale bar environment, and the food matched that. The food was simple but flavourful and they were able to fuse the gastro pub style with it, meaning a satisfying but not overwhelming saltiness and greasiness. Regarding the service, it was pretty uptight and I felt like whenever I asked a question, I got the impression that I shouldn’t. Overall a good experience.
