ROK

Rok serves up small bites, which you can share around the table. The dishes are pretty decent, although there’s a chance you might find some of the flavours a bit heavy with no relief. The duck confit, for instance, is quite salty and unctuous. Reservations are recommended, as the restaurant was packed when we arrived. We were able to snag the last table upstairs, which was small and low—not the most ideal for accommodating multiple dishes.

We had the large tasting menu the portion is generous and we were fully stuffed after. Service staff are really nice and accommodating of our needs. The food are all fresh and nicely seasoned that you can still taste the flavours of the protein.

Best meal I had while in Iceland. I highly recommend the large tasting menu. It’s a little pricey, but well worth it! Just be careful when you order because the entire table has to get the tasting menu. Essentially I had an 8-course lunch and each plate that came out was absolutely delicious. The lemon-cured salmon with goat cheese is truly a gift from the gods. And the reindeer…OMG!! Never had it before and it was a buttery blast of greatness for your taste buds. Not gamey at all. Sorry kids, but Rudolph tasted amazing and I’m not the least bit sorry. The other standout was the brownie with fresh cream. So decadent but not overpowering. The staff was so helpful and delightful. And depending where you sit, you get a view of the church across the street. I would literally come back to Iceland just to eat at this place.

The food was amazing! I went during lunch time so I was able to get the Lunch Special that includes 2 items on the menu for about $32. The fish stew with rye bread was so comforting, and the Icelandic Char with pickles and capers were so good. It was savory and simply delicious. The service was great as well. The staff are very kind and the restaurant's atmosphere is great for a small celebration lunch or dinner.

This was a very busy place. We got lucky to be outside seated within a few minutes due to people leaving when we arrived. I recommend making a reservation if you need immediate seating at a specific time vs trying your luck. The portions of food for the plate was adequate. They recommend 2-4 items per person which was very accurate. The staff was very friendly even though they were slammed, so that was a plus. The cocktail drinks are a little pricey (summer bloom - 3290kr), but very good and worth it. Every dish was great but read the description and ask questions if you're unsure. Cured Reindeer - delicious! Packed with flavor and has a unique texture (was not a fan of texture but was good) Caesar Salad - great salad and the chicken was excellent Beef Tenderloin - cooked the way we liked and was delicious. Beef in a Pancake - everything about this dish was wonderful. If you do not like blue cheese, I would not recommend this. Definitely try to stop by and have a drink or eat some good food at ROK
