Carved into a lava cliff, The Lava Restaurant is an unforgettable dining experience. There are breathtaking views over The Blue Lagoon. Mesmerising and delicious this has to be one of the most remarkable restaurants in the whole world. It can only be described as modern, casual fine dining.

The Lava Restaurant will be a memory cherished. Picturesque views with sensational food are a great way to celebrate any special occasion. It’s only about an hour from Reyjkavik and makes a lovely end to a relaxing spa day at The Blue Lagoon. It’s also possible to spot the Northern Lights here too on a clear day which would make it even more magical.
