ÓX

Led by chef and owner Þráinn Freyr Vigfússon, ÓX is one of Iceland’s most distinctive fine-dining destinations, and only the second Icelandic restaurant to be awarded a Michelin Star in 2022 and a Green Michelin Star in 2025, transformed into the Mindful Voices distinction in 2026. With just 17 seats, the restaurant offers an intimate, highly personal take on modern Icelandic cuisine, celebrating local ingredients, culinary heritage, and sustainability.

Raised in Sauðárkrókur, Þráinn began his culinary journey at just 14, washing dishes at his father’s hotel. Today, his cooking reflects a deep connection to Iceland’s land, traditions and seasonal produce, reimagined through contemporary techniques and creative expression. Beyond ÓX, he is also the chef and owner of Sumac, a celebrated restaurant bringing together Icelandic ingredients and vibrant Middle Eastern-inspired flavours, recommended by Michelin Guide.

Completing the ÓX experience is Amma Don, Reykjavik’s only speakeasy cocktail bar, opened in 2022 and named after the chef's grandmother, where inventive drinks and a distinctive atmosphere extend the restaurant’s spirit of discovery beyond the plate. Together, ÓX and Amma Don offer a singular expression of Icelandic hospitality, combining culinary excellence, a strong sense of place and an unmistakably personal touch.
