Our Experience - Sól Restaurant
If you’re looking for a truly memorable dining experience in Reykjavik, Sól Restaurant is something special. We went with the Sol Experience tasting menu (skipping the wine pairings), and while it’s definitely a splurge, it’s the kind of meal we would have never tried otherwise—and we’re so glad we did.
The atmosphere alone makes this place stand out. You’re dining inside a greenhouse, surrounded by the very ingredients used in the dishes. There’s something really cool about knowing your meal is coming from produce grown right there, and it adds a fresh, immersive feel that you just don’t get in a typical restaurant. On top of that, they brew their own beer and spirits, which ties the whole experience together in a really unique way.
The tasting menu itself was incredibly creative. Each course felt intentional and thoughtfully prepared, with a wide range of flavors and presentations that kept things exciting from start to finish. While the portions are on the lighter side—so don’t expect to leave completely stuffed—the overall experience more than makes up for it.
The service was excellent as well. The staff were attentive, friendly, and did a great job walking us through each course without ever feeling overbearing. It really helped elevate the entire experience.
All in all, Sol Restaurant is about the experience as much as the food. It’s not an everyday kind of meal, but for something unique and memorable, it’s absolutely worth it.
