Dill is New Nordic cuisine at its best. While many restaurants in Iceland have embraced some of the principles of New Nordic cuisine, as one of our resident foodies notes, Dill takes it the whole way, “carefully sourcing and foraging its ingredients.” Dill’s head chef, Gunnar Karl Gíslason, has worked at a number of Michelin starred restaurants in Denmark, and has been known to bring in guest chefs from the likes of Michelin-rated Maaemo. For a visual taste of Gunnar’s expertise, you can also flip through his mouthwatering book, ‘North: The New Nordic Cuisine of Iceland.’ Note: Don’t go to Dill’s old location! The restaurant recently relocated to Hverfisgata 12 after a five-year run in the Nordic House on Sturlugata.
