Great service, nice ambiance, nice fusion food.
Sushi/sashimi a bit tasteless & bland, should use more local fishes.
Cod very clean and fresh, beef and duck dishes were very nice and unexpected.
Outstanding deconstructed cheesecake and chocolate cake

Beautiful Atmosphere with good, but not extraordinary, food. We had a pleasant experience, though it didn't quite live up to the high expectations. The atmosphere is delightful, with a warm and inviting decor that sets the stage for an exciting first impression. Service of the young gentlemen were very friendly and polite.
We ordered the tasting menu, anticipating something truly special given the restaurant's reputation as one of the best fish spots in the city. While the food was good, it didn't quite wow us. The starters, was a fried king prawn then a sushi platter, were reminiscent of an “all-you-can-eat” place back in Switzerland. I had hoped for more unique or creative fish preparations. That said, the black cod was definitely the highlight of the meal, showcasing the potential for excellence. Overall, it's a lovely place to enjoy a meal, but the food could use a bit more innovation to match the stunning ambiance. Dessert was also very nice presented and taste.

Another Exquisite Dining Experience

Fish Market continues to impress with its exceptional dining experience. Lilja, our wonderful server, recommended the premium tasting menu, which exceeded all expectations. Every dish was a delightful blend of flavors and artistry.

We look forward to returning for another unforgettable meal during our next visit to Reykjavik.

This was by far the best meal I have ever had. Ever. The plating was beautiful, the atmosphere is gorgeous and unpretentious. It's a busy place but it doesn't feel like it.  Our server, Andri, was knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the food.
10/10.
