Reykjavik's best bars and restaurants

Fresh cod, lobsters and all manner of seafood from the north sea, combined with a creative approach to food, result in fantastic dining experiences all over the capital and surrounding areas.

Blue Lagoon Lava restaurant

No trip to Iceland is complete without a visit to the Blue Lagoon for a rejuvenating dip. Why not make a day of it and visit the Blue Lagoon Lava restaurant for lunch or dinner. Pristine, contemporary and stylish, the menu is comprehensive and the environment relaxed and informal. You'll be rewarded with great views of the Lagoon and surrounding area from the roof terrace upstairs.

Orange, Reykjavik

Don't be put off by the plain, concrete exterior of Orange restaurant and bar. Inside it's swish, sleek and like many places in Reykjavik - very stylish. Dining at Orange is an experience. Start with a yummy cocktail in the trendy bar before moving to the main restaurant area where your pre-starter will be served in tiny baskets suspended from helium balloons and your cocktail in a cloud of dry ice.

Seafood Cellar, Reykjavik

If you treat yourself to one amazing 'blow-out' of a meal in If you treat yourself to one amazing 'blow-out' of a meal in Reykjavik, make sure it's at the Seafood Cellar. Dimly lit, the divine bar and dining area is furnished with white leather cushioned pillows, fish tanks and decadent tableware. The food and service is superb and the restaurant is perfect for group meals as well as intimate candlelit fish suppers.

Silfur, Reykjavik

If you don't get a chance to dine at Silfur restaurant, then at least pop in for decadent coffee and cake. More white leather stalls and couches along with dim lighting (this sees to be a trend in Reykjavik), Silfur houses the most amazing chandeliers encased in plastic shading.

Laekjarbrekka, Reykjavik

If you love seafood, an alternative to the Seafood Cellar is Laekjarbrekka restaurant, housed in an alpine hut and one of the oldest buildings in Reykjavik. Cosy inside, the décor is kitsch displaying angels, gold mirrors and various musical instruments.

Icelandic Fish and Chips

Make sure you pop into the Icelandic Fish and Chip shop. Serving organic fish in batter, this really is a treat. You choose a selection of fishes and they are bought hot and fresh to your table. Good prices, friendly service and no frills. Perfect for a quick lunch stop.
