Argentína steakhouse . . .
. . . quality from start to finish

This dark and rustic restaurant is one of the city´s best.
Argentina Steakhouse opened 1989 and has since been one of the most popular restaurants in Iceland

Exceptional dining experience
The soothing and comfortable atmosphere and the excellent food allow for an exceptional dining experience. The impressing selection of cognac, whiskey, port and liqueurs as well as the finest cigars are a finishing touch to a night of where fire meets with ice

Soothing and comfortable atmosphere
In the wooden panelled passageway to the restaurant you can detect the southern atmosphere that awaits you inside. In the lobby, the wild South-American vibes of the decoration and demeanour hits you. At the reception, the dancing red flames in the fireplace keep the guests warm and the leather sofas and chairs promise comfort.

Excellent food
The clashes between north and south are very apparent on the menu. Meat and fish, grilled Argentinean style, is the restaurants main fare and the outstanding skill and creativity of the chefs emerge in their presentation as well as in the wide selection of starters and desserts. Argentína was the first Icelandic restaurant to offer steaks by weight and the main courses on the menu have been unchanged from the beginning. Icelandic ingredients prevail and only Icelandic beef of superior quality is on offer. On the menu, you can also find wide selection of seafood and the very tender Icelandic lamb. On the dessert menu, fire and ice wage war on a sweet bed with a clear hint of the Nordic creation story of the world

Gourmet writer David Rosengarten -
wrote in his Newsletter after having dined at Argentina: "Icelandic lamb is, perhaps, the country's most famous gastronomic product: Tender, juicy lamb, lamb-y enough in flavor but not overwhelmingly lamb-intense. Lots of chefs in Reykjavik riff on local lamb, but if you want to see it in its most pristine form, you can dine at a dark cavernous, off-beat restaurant called Argentina...
