• Nautholl is Reykjavik's newest restaurant, opened in January 2010. It features modern Icelandic cuisine with an emphasis on fresh local ingredients,  in-house production and casual atmosphere.  Nautholl is led by Master Chef, Eythor Runarsson, an Icelandic National Culinary Team member, part of a new  generation of Icelandic chefs committed to sustainable cuisine. Nautholl is situated on the outskirts of Öskjuhlid, Reykjavik's downtown nature paradise, overlooking Reykjavik Thermal Beach. The view and the setting is more reminiscent of a rural destination restaurant, rather than a high class bistro that is only a 5 minute drive from downtown Reykjavik.

  • The Pearl is a magnificent structure. Formally opened to the public on 21 June 1991, it combines utility and vision. Hollow steel framing supports the glass dome and walls that link six aluminum-sided tanks, each of which can contain 4 million liters of water averaging 85°C (185°F). As part of The Pearl's heating system, hot water is pumped through the metal framework in winter, while cold water flows during summer, thereby producing a comfortable year-round environment. The Viewing Deck on Level 4 takes full advantage of the panorama enjoyed from Oskjuhlid; telescopes mounted at each of the six corners of the deck with recorded descriptions in Icelandic, English, Norwegian, German and French.
