This was my first Michelin restaurant. I sat next to some others that have visited quite a few all over the world. They said this is a two star is us Michelin standards. The entire experience was phenomenal. Service was spectacular and the food was so delicious.

I LOVED my experience here! The food- the chefs-the atmosphere-the staff-the drinks-the company… all of it was incredible!!!
I don’t know what I was even eating half the time but it was good! I felt like it was my cousins in the kitchen cooking. The banter between them and us made our experience that much more! The Sommelier was kind and personable. I really enjoyed our conversations. The portions were all stunning and the food was just amazing… bread in a milk carton?! AMAZING.
We were celebrating our first wedding anniversary and never had I recieved a card where all the chefs signed it, truly my new most prized possession!

A must do in Iceland to meet interesting people and eat top tier Icelandic cuisine. Quite the experience, spanning two different rooms (with a hidden door to the next!)

Friendly, exclusive company, and the ability to watch the chefs make your food right in front of you.

Often, dinnerware is a bit overlooked even at top restaurants. In this case, you could tell that every utensil, cup, plate, bowl, placemat… you name it — was chosen with care.

As a sober individual, the wine and cocktail pairings for each course were met with just as good if not better non alcoholic options. Really appreciated the accommodation.

I would say that the food was almost too rich/buttery for my taste, but that is part of the Icelandic palate. For those that are not looking for a social experience, I would consider the chef’s other restaurant, Sumac.

I wish I could give Ox 5 stars, but I can’t. Ox definitely puts in the effort, so I think 4 stars is more than generous. For me, 5 stars would mean that I will definitely dine here again. However, that is uncertain.  I may consider it in a few years. Maybe that would be long enough for some improvements. When I say I would dine again at a restaurant, that has to also mean that the food, for one, has to taste good, no matter the price. Was the meal at Ox better than anything my husband (who is not a professional chef) cooks for me at home? Absolutely not.

My husband and I dined at Ox at the end of 2023. The atmosphere and the experience as a whole at Ox was amazing. The experience began from the entrance. I appreciated all the artsy decor and details, as well as the secret door to the kitchen/dining area. Even the bathrooms were amazing. To be a true Michelin starred restaurant, it isn’t just about the food. It has to be an experience. But, it still ultimately comes down to the quality of the food, and everything else is secondary. The food has to be able to stand on its own without all the frills.

Overall, I found the desserts and the sparkling tea in one of the courses to be the most tasty ones, and that is never a good sign. A course we really liked wasn’t even made at Ox (the lava bread). Most of the “main” dishes weren’t memorable and started to taste the same (not sure if the same sauce was used more than once or the sauces started tasting the same as well).  Most of the sauces overpowered the main ingredients, rather than complementing them. Frankly, a lot of the dishes were too salty. They also claimed to use Icelandic langoustine in one dish, but another guest (who was a local Icelandic fisherman) told us that it was a lie because there’s been a ban on fishing langoustine in Iceland due to serious decline in the supply. When he confronted staff, they admitted that it wasn’t Icelandic but continued to tell other guests that it was. Not cool.

In addition to coming short in the taste department, one thing that did really bother me is that when they were heating up sauces in full view of the guests, they took them out in cheap plastic tupperwares! The dishes they used to serve food for the guests were beautiful and commissioned by local artists and their attention to detail in everything else was immaculate, then this! It was almost too comical. Everything was so classy, artistic, and beautiful, then to see plastic tupperwares was very off putting and confusing.

My husband and I spent about $1,000 total. For one Michelin star (it definitely doesn’t deserve more than one), I think the price tag can only be justified if the food improves. I’d like to see more creativity in amplifying the wonderful ingredients and each course be more distinctly unique and different from one another. Everything else about the experience (minus the plastic tupperware) was wonderful.
