The Steakhouse

The Steakhouse in Reykjavík is a dinner-focused choice for an Icelandic steakhouse meal with seafood and local game. It is well suited to diners who want grilled-meat classics and Iceland-specific options at a planned-evening price point rather than a casual stop. The price is about $75 per person, the dress code is smart casual.

The value case is clearest for diners who want steak, seafood and local game in Reykjavík. If steak is the anchor of the meal, this is a direct pick; if the group wants a different kind of Reykjavík dinner, scan the Reykjavík restaurants guide before committing.

Choose it for a polished steak dinner, not a tasting-menu night

Menu direction is steakhouse first, with seafood and local game broadening the table rather than changing the category. Signature options include 28-day aged ribeye steak, beef short ribs, surf and turf with horse tenderloin and whale steak, minke whale tataki, Icelandic lamb and fish. That range makes it better for mixed preferences than a narrow beef-only dinner, especially when one diner wants steak and another wants something more Iceland-specific.

At this spend level, the meal should be treated as a planned dinner rather than an easy fallback. Smart casual is enough, so there is no need to dress as if for fine dining, but the restaurant is positioned more for a proper dinner than a quick bite.

The drinks angle is wine-friendly, but food should drive the booking

The restaurant has one clear wine-related signal: the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence in 2026. That matters at a steakhouse because wine can be an important part of a meal built around beef, lamb, game and seafood. Still, the booking should be made for the steakhouse cooking and the food first. There is no need to assume a destination cocktail bar experience or a sommelier-led tasting format. If the night is primarily about drinks, use the Reykjavík bars guide and build dinner around that instead.

For travellers planning a fuller Reykjavík stay, the decision tree is simple. Use this restaurant when the evening needs a hearty, sit-down steakhouse meal with seafood and local game available as part of the choice set. For alternative dining styles, compare it with other dining in Reykjavík.

What to know before using it as the anchor meal

The practical appeal is the clear brief: an Icelandic steakhouse dinner with seafood and local game, priced at about $75 per person. Hours are dinner-only: Monday through Thursday from 5–10 PM, Friday and Saturday from 5–11 PM, Sunday from 5–10 PM. Diners should align on budget before choosing it, since the price point makes it more of a planned dinner than a casual meal.
