Skál! opened up in Iceland's first food hall at “Hlemmur Mathöll” Reykjavík’s old bus stop. The place was started by three friends chef Gísli Matt, Björn Steinar and Gísli Grímsson that shared the vision to open a fairly priced bar with both food and drinks of great quality.

Skál has been name “best goddamn restaurant” by Reykjavík Grapevine 2020, 2022, 2023 and 2024. Skál was also awarded “Michelin Bib Gourmand” back in 2019.

Skál! moved to a brand new, beautiful location at Njálsgata 1, 101 Reykjavík in the fall of 2024 with Thomas Lorentzen head chef joining the group of owners.

Icelandic produce is the main focus for our kitchen and to utilize them in both with creativity and delicous way. To pair that we serve beautiful natural wines, Icelandic beers, house brewed sparkling teas and craft cocktails from Keli our head bartender
