Fiskifelagið
I went to this place the other day and they know how to make a good meal. This Reykjavik Seafood Restaurant is in a new old house that is this house was moved from another location and renewed all over. They are in the cellar (they have a elevator) and I got a very cozy feeling when I came in, a lot of candles and servants everywhere. The food was exceptional. I am looking forward on going back.

Geysir Bistro & Bar
They are located down town in the same house as tourist information. Inside this Reykjavik Seafood Restaurant it is very nice and pleasant. I went with a group of people 10 people and everybody got a different thing to eat. Some got starter but all got the main dish and others got dessert. Everybody were very happy with their meal and got home very satisfied. I would say that Geysir is little bit more casual than some of the other expensive Reykjavik Seafood Restaurants.

Sjávarbarinn
Is a newly opened and is one of great Reykjavik Seafood Restaurants. They are situated near the harbor, a bit out of the way but the good thing is that they offer a pickup service for dinner. They have the freshest of the fish on the marked and are reasonable in pricing. I recommend Fish Cakes Grandma Style they are my favorite and a lot of others peoples favorite dish too because it is the most popular dish on the menu.

Þrír frakkar
Three Frenchmen or three overcoats, I have never understood the name. The head chef (is name is Wolf) is a funny guy and knows his thing. I think this restaurant is full every night.
