Grandi Fish Window

GrandiReykjavík

8.4

A takeaway window in a converted net shed frying whatever the boats landed that morning — usually cod or haddock in a crackling spelt batter, with skyr tartar sauce that should be exported at scale. Eat on the pier bollards watching the whale boats come in. It closes at 6pm and doesn't care that you wanted dinner; this is Iceland's honest lunch.

Order this

  • Fried cod and chips
  • Skyr tartar sauce
  • Plokkfiskur (winter)

The dishes reviewers keep coming back for. Ordering off-list is on you.
