For those special occasions.

Place

Fiskmarkaðurinn

Place

Dill Restaurant

Nína:If you're looking for super fancy and experimental dining experience, look no further. It's haute cuisine at it's best! Remember to book in advance.

Place

Héðinn Kitchen & Bar

Nína:Hedinn is a new addition to the restaurant scene - and it's very promising. Since it's located near Grandi, it's a good idea to head to the Valdis icecream parlour afterwards for a gelato.

Marshall Restaurant + Bar

Nína:This restaurant is actually called La Primavera - an excellent Italian place located in the Marshall House art space.
