The Grill Market: Iclelandic Cuisine with Asian Influences

If you ask any concierge or local in Reykjavik, Iceland for a restaurant recommendation, many will point you to The Grill Market (Grillmarkaðurinn). This popular restaurant is considered one of the hottest places to visit while in Iceland and for good reason. Their decor is chic, their bar is a hotspot for the in-crowd  and their food is really good!Set in a beautifully decorated and chic environment, the Grill Market serves up an inventive mix of Icelandic dishes accented with distinctly asian flavors. The accrued knowledge is evident in beautifully presented dishes such as mink whale sashimi with thai dipping sauce, dried fish tempura and my favorite - spinach salad with duck confit. Of paramount importance at the Grill Market is the relationship between chef and farmer, as they work closely with local farmers to source only the freshest ingredients in order to create truly delicious dishes.
