Hlemmur Mathöll
Skál
Once a fixture at Hlemmur Mathöll, Skál has now moved to new premises but remains as tempting a choice as ever. Its credentials are strong: it was the recipient of a Michelin Bib Gourmand in 2019 and has been a firm favourite with reviewers at Reykjavik Grapevine for several years. With friends Gísli Matt, Björn Steinar and Gísli Grímsson at the helm, you can expect creative and tasty dishes crafted from local ingredients such as scallops, Arctic char and lamb.
