Fish House Bar & Grill is a family-owned seafood restaurant in the harbour town of Grindavík, close to the Blue Lagoon. It specialises in freshly prepared local fish cooked in a classic Icelandic style, with house favourites including Arctic char, pan-seared cod, fish soup, and a well-regarded lobster bisque, alongside fish & chips and burgers.
The dining room is cosy and the service draws consistent praise for being friendly and quick, making it a comfortable stop for travellers heading to or from the lagoon. Reviews repeatedly highlight the freshness and quality of the seafood.
Grindavík was heavily affected by volcanic activity from late 2023, with widespread evacuations and business closures. Fish House has since returned and reopened; however, the wider area remains geologically active, so travellers should check current conditions and the restaurant’s status before visiting.
