The restaurant is located in the Nordic House, which was designed by Finnish star architect Alvar Aalto and has art exhibitions and other attractions, plus a view of a park and lake with swans and other birdlife. We had a five-course dinner with various surprises, served by friendly and informative staff, who also kept our wine glasses filled at all... More

Simply said, this was amazing. The food, the wine, the setting, all amazing. Unlike some places that serve small portions of complex dishes where the complexity gets the better of things, at Dill the complexity became sublime. The tastes combinations were spectacular (attached photo of the skyr, kale and shaved fish dish). And the wine was also excellent, which is... More

Our food was amazing: creative, beautiful on the plate, well-matched yet inventive flavors. Service was efficient, friendly and professional. The space is definitely contemporary Nordic with a panoramic view of Reykjavik. We highly recommend Dill.

This restaurant undoubtedly turns out some very skilled cooking and we experienced the odd dazzling dish within the 5 course menu but overall we did not particularly enjoy Dill. The food is extremely fresh, utilises high quality local produce and the chef aims to intrigue and challenge the palate with his Icelandic take on Nordic cuisine. You have the option... More

Due to the reviews we decided to go for a last night extravagance & it did live up to all expectations-impeccable sevice, food to savour every mouthful & well matched wine.This obvously all comes at a price & I think even only the 3 course menu with wine came to £150 for the both of us but if you are...

We were lucky to get the last table on a Saturday night. The food was out of this world - fresh, beautifully and perfectly cooked, and sensational combinations. This was simply the best meal - and dining out experience- we have had for a very, very long time, and we eat at some great restaurants. Service was charming and faultless,... More

We had a stunning meas with wine pairings, served by an knowledgable and friendly waiter. It was expensive, but absolute value. Restaurants in Reykjavik are ALL expensive, but this one is truly worth it.

I am not a seafood fan...in fact, I am well known for wrinkling my nose at the smell of fish and seafood and for eating only salad at dinners when fish is the main event. That being said, I think you can appreciate fully the full impact of the above title and the following statement: I LOVED THIS MEAL! My... More

We ate there during the Food and Fun event and were fortunate to be able to taste the menu from the winning chef. This was a 4 course tasting menu and we opted... More

This restaurant is located in the Nordic House and has a very limited menu of very innovative and well prepared food. You can have a 3, 4, or 5 course dinner which they select for you and you can also have a wine paring. There were three different amuse bouche served before the start of the meal - each quite...
