I just finished having an early dinner at Loa. I had my eye on this place prior to my visit to Reykjavik, and I’m glad I dropped by. First plus about this place is the nice and relaxing atmosphere; decor is toned down and the...staff are very welcoming. The food was very good. I had the creamy fish soup as a starter which was just amazing. I had a sore throat and the soup was just what the doctor ordered, warm, bright, and full of flavour. Main for me was the pan fried Ling (similar to cod). The portions are generous and the accompanying vegetables (cauliflower, Bok Choy and broccoli) went so well with the fish and mashed potato. I didn’t try any dessert because I was full after the main, but from what I saw on the tables, they seem worth leaving space in your tummy for. I was attended to by Magdalena and she was excellent with her service and recommendations. This restaurant is definitely worth a second visit and I can’t wait to return.More

Stayed at the CenterHotels, Laugavegur while on a AAA Tour. Breakfast was included & was your standard European breakfast fair. Plenty of food, great variety & wonderful breads w/excellent butter. Decided to try dinner there & were quite impressed! We had the oven baked cod...& the meat soup w/side salad. Both were very good! Prepared perfectly & presented very nicely. Would have them, both, again! What really amazed us was the staff. There were 4 staff members on duty serving in the restaurant, one of which was tending the bar. There were 10 tables w/ 2 people at each; 3 tables w/5 people, at each and 1 table of 20 people & everything ran like clockwork! The staff were quick & efficient & we never heard one complaint. Every staff member did everything. Even the bartender was delivering meals & drinks! A well orchestrated operation! Kudos to Tina, the Shift Leader, her staff & the guys & gals in the kitchen! This was a wonderful surprise! The restaurant is open to the public, so even if you don't stay at the CenterHotels, Laugavegur give the restaurant a try!More

Excellent food in a calm, relaxed atmosphere. Good service too. The lamb was soft and lovely - good portion size. The sauce was exceptionally good.

Excellent quality food. I can vouch for the roast lamb and the chocolate cake. Service was good and attentive. We would go again.

Attempting to do a Reykjavik break on a budget isn't easy. But for our final night we splashed out and booked a meal at Loa. We chose Loa due to its high rating on Trip Advisor, its location close to our hotel, the ability to...book a table online, and also I knew there would be a vegetarian option for me. So had pretty much decided on our order even before we arrived. Staff were welcoming and very attentive (almost too much so when they check back the moment you've a taken your first mouthful). The decor a modern take on 70s casual and the food was presented beautifully. It was probably a bit fancy for my usual taste as I had to ask what the strange pip like berries on my parsnip dish were (paprika I found out - who knew?). Other half had the lamb and demolished the lot and then a chocolate cake. For Iceland prices it wasn't bad, just don't convert it to £ as then it seemed like a crazy expense.More

Fresh delicious dinner with amazing flavors and super attentive waitress Tina!!!! Def a must when you are in Reykjavik!!!

Came here for dinner and had the 3 course set menu. Everything was very tasty and service was very good and quick

We stopped in for lunch as we wandered Reykjavik and were not disappointed. The food was lovely and staff were very friendly. Really glad we found this little gem of a restaurant.

We had a lovely family meal here on our first evening in Iceland. The food was all excellent, the service was very good and we had a really relaxed meal. With three non-vegetarians and one vegetarian, providing a vegetarian amuse bouche was a nice touch....The bread and butter was fantastic. We would definitely visit the restaurant again if we were in Reykjavik.More

Lovely food! One of the best dinners I’ve ever had. Would highly recommend the pan fried ling. must try! The restaurant itself was also very lovely inside and staff were friendly.

Prompt and helpful service. Server was engaging and knowledgeable as she answered questions about ingredients. Less than 10 minutes between ordering and food being served. Both the arctic char and lamb dishes were excellent and attractively served. Skyr yogurt-based dessert were delicious and had an...attractive presentation.More

Great food and great service. We had a really lovely family meal in a very relaxed environment. Would definitely come back if we’re back in the area.
