Why Travelers Love KRÖST
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
Delicious! We are a family of four with two teens. Ordered two appetizers and four entrees. Not cheap but that was expected. But scrumptious they all were! The service was swift. The place was crowded but we were able to find an empty table quickly. One of the best restaurants we experienced in Iceland! This is our first meal when we reached Iceland. Love the casual vibe and the food is great too. We enjoyed the lamb a lot and the fish stew is very comforting with some really good sourdough to go with it. We wanted to try Icelandic lamb, so we came to Krost for their lamb chops. The taste was good, but the price didn’t quite match the quality. The staff were courteous and helpful. Food arrived fast.

Omg, this is still amazing. We came three years ago and it was amazing then. We came to Iceland for one day, arrived at 8 am, and were back in England for 10 pm. This place was top of my list to visit, as well as the Blue Lagoon, as it was closed last time due to the volcano 🌋 hopefully we will be back again very soon

Conveniently located within a food hall. kröst is casual but yet provides quality fine dining level food. I had one of my best cod dishes at Kröst out of my Iceland trip. Fish is meaty and perfectly cooked. We ordered the summer meals which also come with a pairing of a glass of sparkling rose, which worked beautifully with the cod. The other dish we had was a burger, which was satisfying. It came with fries that are crispy and served with a spiced ketchup that's part Asian (5-spice) and part icelandic (licorice). Lastly, we also had an order of arancini made with mushroom risotto? It was fried nicely on the outside, and the whole thing was nicely seasoned. When in Reykjavik, don't sleep on this spot.
