OTO

Out of the many dozens of places I've dined at in Iceland over the years, this is hands down one of the best (and one of the best of all my travels). Every dish from start to finish was really, really excellent. I was nervous about trying Japanese Italian fusion, but it turned out to be spectacular. I highly recommend going with the staff suggestions as all of those dishes were a win. The milk bread and nori with the miso butter and tofu spread were our favorite. The Bikini crumpets were unreal in how good they were; the flavor and texture were outstanding and my favorite dish. We also had the crudo and carpaccio. The crudo was very bright and fresh, but it does have cilantro (not listed on menu) so if you have an aversion it might not be the dish for you. The carpaccio was the best I've ever had anywhere in the world; the use of hazelnuts was incredibly delicious. The lobster pasta and ravioli were incredible and the past was cooked perfectly al dente with so much flavor. The Amalfi lemon dessert was so unique and the gluten free pastry served with it was incredible! I would eat here over and over again. The food, atmosphere, and staff all make this place a must-not-miss if you're in Reykjavik.

We were a party of six and had really great experience at OTO. We had the set menu with wine pairing and everything tasted so good. The service was very friendly and professional. They were very accommodating regarding the menu for one of us who has allergies to gluten and shellfish and served them a different but equally tasty option.
