Reykjavík’s only teppanyaki restaurant sits in a sleek glass building just 200 m from historic Höfði house, close enough to the ocean for northern lights views from the nearby lighthouse in winter. Your evening starts with a sake cocktail (or similar) as the chef ignites a volcanic flame show right at your table, crafting a 7-course menu from Iceland’s finest: beef carpaccio, tempura langoustine in lava sauce, Japanese rice with fresh veggies, arctic charr in teriyaki, free-range lamb with pepper sauce, and blueberry skýr yogurt for dessert. The chef’s skill turns dinner into theater, bending fire to grill premium local ingredients while you watch every sizzle. Intimate, exciting and the perfect taste of Iceland’s “land of ice and fire” in one unforgettable meal.
The high-heat iron grills and the modern glass-walled district of Reykjavik city center serve as the stage for this 1.5-hour high-impact culinary expedition.
Provided by Flame Restaurant and Bar, this journey transitions from the chilly Icelandic air to the intense warmth of an open-flame cooking show.
You move through a meticulously crafted 7-course menu featuring the best of "fire and ice" ingredients, experiencing an environment where a teppanyaki fire show and a signature sake cocktail define the vertical energy of the night.
Because this is the only teppanyaki restaurant in Iceland, you should secure your 7-Course Tasting early to ensure a 2026 seat at the grill.
Expect a high-energy, entertaining, and "A1" quality immersion into Icelandic-Japanese fusion. The transition from raw ingredients to a grilled feast is managed with master-level skill, making the experience "great for everyone" as Kelly noted. The environment is one of "spectacular showmanship," where the aroma of grilled lobster and lamb fills the modern glass building. Note that while the restaurant is wheelchair accessible, the Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon and cannot be guaranteed during your visit.
If you visit during the 2026 winter months, check the aurora forecast before your reservation; our agency finds that travelers who walk the 200m to the oceanfront lighthouse immediately after their 7-course meal have the highest vertical success rate for spotting the Northern Lights.
Pay close attention to the tempura langoustine; our clients, travelers, and our agency suggest that the homemade lava sauce is the standout vertical highlight, perfectly balancing the sweetness of the Icelandic lobster.
Arrive exactly on time; teppanyaki is a synchronized vertical performance, and arriving late can mean missing the initial "volcanic flame" introduction that sets the stage for the rest of the meal.
If you don't drink alcohol, ask for the "equivalent beverage"; the restaurant's mocktail version of the sake welcome provides the same vertical sophistication and flavor profile without the alcohol.
The lighting and surrounding atmosphere change vertically throughout the 2026 season.
