With great memories from our first visit, Tree Tops Sky Dining & Bar, Anantara has to be our favourite restaurant in the world.
After a day exploring Reyjkavik, Café Babulu is a stone throw from the Hallgrimskirkja Church. The quaint establishment is adorned with interesting objects that looked like they were collected from all over the world over numerous years. There were dolls, elves, trolls, and even a retro pac man amongst it all. Notes of money were hanging on the pillars, with a cuckoo clock ticking and coming to life on the hour. A cafe with a lot of character and a really snug, warm homely feel that you won’t want to leave. We couldn’t resist some hot chocolate, topped with whipped cream at the quirky Cafe Babalu. The hot apple crumble was topped with oats and maple syrup and was delectable. We will have to pop back to try the Nutella Cheesecake. This places is so lovely we would recommend it for a special afternoon tea. Café Babalu, Skólavörðustíg 22a, 101 Reykjavík
Iceland is renowned for fishing so it is a must to savour some of the fresh fish by the old harbour. The Reyjkavik Fish Restaurant is in the Old Harbour area. It’s a nautically themed and the breaded cod and chips are the gem on the menu. The batter was light and crispy and the meal itself hearty. The fish is freshly caught. Sometimes simple fish and chips is all you need. It’s quite casual and great for groups to relax, at the end of a day of exploration in Iceland.Fish Restaurant, Ingolfsstraeti 8, & Skolavoroustig 23, Reykjavik 101, Iceland

Kol has a lovely, modern Icelandic feel and serves some of the best cocktails and food in Iceland. With experienced head chef, Einar Hjaltason and Karl Porsteinsson having worked at London’s Le Manoir Aux Quat Saisons, Dabbous, and Noma in Copenhagen we had high expectations. The menu is varied and service friendly and attentive. The homemade lemonade of lemon, orange and grapefruit with a sprig of mint was rather refreshing. The warm bread was infused with fruit and served with a light, airy whipped butter. The lamb topped with barley, goats cheese and carrot tempura was divine. The cod was cooked to perfection with charred iceberg lettuce and molasses. The ambience adds to the dining experience. We would recommend this for a special evening in Iceland or before an evening to search for the Northern Lights. Kol, Skolavoroustigur 40, Reykjavik 101, Iceland
Looking for something slightly different to cater your next event or meeting? Have you tried Hummus Bros? “Give peas a chance” and you will look no further after you see their spread. It’s impressive, fresh and deliciously inspired by the Mediterranean. Fully loaded bowls with hummus smeared strategically on the bottom of the bowl, before being piled high with chicken, falafel, tabouleh, chilli sauce and a drizzle of lemon before being sprinkled with paprika. Served with a flatbread or carrots, this is hearty and wholesome and will leave you content and craving more. Catch them at their pop up events or one of their four London branches. Hummus Bros, Wardour Street
