List of Michelin-starred restaurants in Iceland

From Alfawiki

As of the 2025 edition of the Michelin Guide, Iceland boasts three restaurants honored with Michelin stars. The Michelin Guides, which have been published by the French tire manufacturer Michelin since 1900, were initially created to encourage automobile travel and boost tire sales by highlighting recommended dining establishments. Over the years, the Michelin star rating evolved into a highly esteemed accolade within the culinary world.

The gastronomic landscape in Iceland is predominantly shaped by New Nordic Cuisine, with several starred restaurants establishing the nation as a prominent culinary hotspot. Since 2017, Iceland has been featured in the Michelin Guide Nordic Countries, an annual event that also includes Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden.

Michelin inspectors possess a minimum of ten years’ experience and conduct anonymous evaluations of restaurants based on five key factors: quality of ingredients, mastery of flavor and cooking techniques, expression of the chef’s personality through the dining experience, value for money, and consistency over multiple visits. Restaurants receive ratings ranging from one to three stars: one star denotes high-quality cooking worth a stop; two stars indicate excellent cuisine warranting a detour; three stars represent exceptional fare meriting a dedicated journey. These distinctions are subject to periodic reassessment and can be revoked if standards are not maintained.
