Óx - Reykjavik

We accidentally booked the dinner for November 30th instead of December 30th. When we showed up we realized our mistake, very bummed, Manual was so helpful in getting us in for a dinner. He was able to move our reservation to an opening they had and we got to enjoy the 17course meal. We were extremely impressed with the entire experience. Worth the visit while in town if you enjoy food!

Absolutely loved the speakeasy vibe. The non alcoholic pairing was such a treat and, as a lover of all things butter, I thoroughly enjoyed the food. Chef Þráinn and the team were brilliant. Meal type: Dinner Price per person: kr 20,000+ Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

I recently experienced this restaurant right after Christmas. The entire experience is exceptional. The restaurant has an atmosphere that is unmatched. The cocktail sitting room transported me back in time to memories of my own grandmothers home. The service was top notch. All the staff are knowledgeable and attentive. Watching the chefs create your dish while you’re seated around the island is an entertaining experience. To discuss the food let me start by saying..This is the best meal I have ever had. The Lamb Broth, patte cookie, the duck all tremendous dishes. My favorite of all the dishes is the icelandic wasabi desert.

Finding it wasn 't straightforward and I had to ask someone to only realize there 's a door requiring an intercom call. Upon entering I was greeted warmly, but what took me by surprise is I was instantly seated between a group of people I didn 't know and was forced to socialize with them. This was a huge let down for me! Later as the evening progressed I realized I wasn 't able to enjoy my food, because of the 'socializing ' aspect. I came there for the FOOD* not to talk to strangers about their lives. Yet, I did like how the servers explained each dish and plus the Head chef was one of the warmest people I 've met : Now just the food One thing that irks me, not just about this place but most high end restaurants, is the tendency to hide behind the flavours of (excessive butter, caviar and aged meats/bread. The food tasted good, but flavours were nothing new, almost felt like the same thing kept repeating over and over. The only dish that stood out was the rye bread which was really unique. Towards the end of the evening it got nearly unbearable for me to even stay, wishing I could have just gone to the popular hot dog stand.This was the only disheartening experience from my visit to Iceland, which has been so good this far!

OX is a true culinary gem. The food is like a masterpiece – delicious and beautifully presented. The service is excellent, and the atmosphere is just right. The wine pairings were spot-on, enhancing the entire experience. OX is easily the best Michelin restaurant I've tried.
