Hressó

Hressó is one of Reykjavik's most iconic restaurants and a beloved favorite among locals. It's been on Austurstraeti street since 1932, originally being called "Hressingarskálinn," and it has evolved through the decades, always remaining a cultural hub in the heart of the city.

This iconic bistro has recently been fully renovated and now greets guests with a beautifully restored 1930s interior. To match, Hressó serves classic Icelandic dishes elevated by some of Iceland's most skilled chefs. Its historic charm and great food make it stand out as one of Reykjavik's most delightful dining spots, so book a table at Hressó for a great lunch or dinner!

The original 1930s charm of Hressó creates the perfect atmosphere for a cozy lunch or romantic dinner. The menu is inspired by Icelandic traditions, featuring homestyle favorites like breaded lamb chops, hearty meat soup, and fish cakes.

Fresh Icelandic seafood also has a place on the menu, alongside classic burgers, steaks, and salad. If you're feeling adventurous, you can try the more unique side of Icelandic cuisine, like the infamous fermented shark or the sheep head.

Hressó offers a two or three-course menu, where you can choose from two options for a starter, main, and dessert. It's a great way to taste some of the best things on the menu more affordably. Alternatively, we highly recommend the sharing pans for those craving fresh Icelandic seafood, where you have the option of bacalao, cod, or pan-fried salmon.

To go with your meal, enjoy the selection of drinks at Hressó. Choose from a variety of gin and tonics, Aperol spritz, and quality house wines. There's also a great selection of non-alcoholic options, including 0% beer and prosecco!
