Fishmarket Restaurant

Fishmarket, or Fiskmarkaðurinn in Icelandic, is an upscale restaurant located at Aðalstræti 12 in Reykjavík’s historic centre, offering modern Icelandic cuisine with Asian influences. Known for its high-quality seafood, premium ingredients, and attentive service, the restaurant combines local produce with Japanese and broader Asian techniques to create a menu that is both rooted in Icelandic tradition and internationally inspired.

Alongside fresh cod, Arctic char, langoustine, and shellfish from Iceland’s pristine waters, the menu includes carefully selected high-quality meats and creative vegetarian options, all prepared with the same attention to detail and seasonal focus. The tasting menus reflect the rhythm of nature, offering a contemporary expression of Icelandic cuisine.

Fiskmarkaðurinn is also known for its sushi, which has built a strong reputation in Reykjavík and across Iceland. The selection typically includes sushi, sashimi, and creative maki rolls that combine Icelandic ingredients with Japanese technique.

The concept is shaped by chef and founder Hrefna Rósa Sætran, a prominent figure in Iceland’s culinary scene. With experience spanning cities such as London and New York, as well as involvement with the Icelandic National Culinary Team, she brings a refined and globally influenced perspective to her work. In addition to Fiskmarkaðurinn, she is also behind venues such as Uppi and Skúli Craft Bar, where the focus extends beyond dining to curated guest experiences.
