Finnsson — Restaurant in Reykjavik

Went today with my daughter at brunch . Had for starters eggs Benedict (one egg soft, one boiled very hard , I get it was not boiled together ?!) , was ok let’s say but hollandaise sauce could definetly be much better , my 9y old daughter makes a better one , no offence , so watery and no taste , we also had deep fried prawns (just basic frozen prawns) , anyway , starters was ok let’s say but we orders steak for main course , medium , and we received it rare , so rare that was completely cold in the middle . Staff was very nice , I believe was the manager maybe that I’ve been dealing with , apologised , took the steak into the kitchen .. here when it comes disturbing .. 30 seconds later a laud laugh more employers in the kitchen, maybe about my food , maybe not .. few mins later my steak comes back , correctly done I have to say but it was so so chewy , the worst you can get from a steak .. why ? Because ofcourse they put th same steak back on fire , so ofcourse after being cooked once , got cold , cocked again that was almost burn on the outside (medium inside I agree) but we didn’t enjoy it because except of the middle of the steak that was soft , all around (70%) was baaad .. I get the steak it’s expensive , but was your chef mistake , the steak costed me I believe around 9,000 kr (65€) , I believe me and my daughter have the right to eat a good steak not that chewy dry steak all around due to being re-done . I asked the manager if that’s the same stake that he put on the grill and with a smile on his face said ,,yes” , like that it’s completely normal and his face expression was in total surprise why wouldn’t I like that . I just turn around and left . We love steak , we often dine out but this was a bad steak , I believe would had been really good if the chef didn’t screw it up at first and then re-heat again my steak so...

Finnsson – A Hidden Gem in Kringlan

Tucked away in Kringlan shopping mall, Finnsson is a restaurant with character, offering a warm and inviting ambiance that feels far from the usual mall setting. With unique wallpaper, bamboo chandeliers, and striking artwork, every detail—right down to the stylish restrooms—has been carefully considered.

Despite its spacious layout, Finnsson maintains an intimate feel. Theatergoers are a key clientele, and the place is often fully booked before performances. Yet, the acoustics and atmosphere remain pleasantly serene. Seating options range from cozy booths to a private room for up to 12 guests, adding to the restaurant’s charm.

Founded post-COVID, Finnsson traces its roots to Argentína steakhouse. While the menu includes burgers and excellent seafood, the heart of the restaurant lies in its steaks. The kitchen, led by steak expert Óskar Finnsson, delivers top-tier cuts—including the Red and White Ribeye from Poland, named the best in Europe.

Service is impeccable, with Óskar’s son, Finnur, ensuring guests are well cared for with warmth and...

One of the best restaurants in iceland! I’ve been to their brunch quite a few times where they make an amazing eggs Benedikt! This time around I got their burger with bacon, Brie and jam on it and it was absolutely delicious, with a good amount of tasty fries! After which, my boyfriend and I split a slice of chocolate cake that was the perfect chocolate treat for after a savory lunch. It was an absolutely amazing dining experience! The family that owns it - as well as the staff members - are just wonderful people who you can tell are passionate about this place! Friendly, inviting, and an all around great...
