Dill Restaurant Reykjavik
Food

Dill Restaurant Reykjavik

Dill is Iceland's most celebrated fine dining restaurant and the country's first to earn a Michelin star, opened in 2009 by chef Gunnar Karl Gíslason in Reykjavik's Nordic House cultural center. The restaurant's philosophy centers on New Nordic cuisine applied to Iceland's extraordinary larder — wild Arctic char, hand-dived sea scallops, moss, skyr, and indigenous herbs foraged from Icelandic fields and shores. The tasting menus change with the seasons and the catch, and each dish tells a story about Iceland's land and sea that few restaurants anywhere in the world can match. Reservations are essential months in advance.

Lodging

Canopy by Hilton Reykjavik

Canopy by Hilton Reykjavik opened in 2017 in a contemporary building just steps from Harpa Concert Hall and the old harbor, positioned as a lifestyle hotel that celebrates local Icelandic culture. The design incorporates Icelandic materials — lava stone, birch wood, and handmade textiles — and the rooms are outfitted with locally sourced artwork, design objects, and a curated Icelandic amenity kit. The ground-floor Canopy Central bar and café is a lively gathering spot serving Icelandic craft beers, specialty coffee, and a menu of local small plates. The hotel's location makes it an excellent base for exploring both the old harbor district and downtown Reykjavik.

Hallgrímskirkja
Sightseeing

Hallgrímskirkja

Hallgrímskirkja is Reykjavik's most striking landmark, a 74.5-meter Lutheran church designed by architect Guðjón Samúelsson whose basalt column-inspired façade was inspired by Iceland's volcanic landscape. Construction began in 1945 and took 41 years to complete; today its tower offers the best panoramic views of Reykjavik and the surrounding bay and mountains. The church's simplicity and geometric drama make it one of the 20th century's most distinctive religious buildings.
