"Named "the pharmacy" after the business that previously inhabited the space, Apótek is one of Reykjavík's trendiest dining spots." Full review
"Pitch-perfect Icelandic cuisine, such as whale (with Jerusalem artichokes and a shallot vinaigrette) and plaice fish (with samphire, asparagus, and a tart lime beurre blanc). " Full review
"The menu at Apotek is much the same as those at other upscale spots in Reykjavík—tons of fish, some sort of take on a tasting menu of traditional dishes (often with whale and puffin), and a few turf additions here and there—but the care and attention to detail is obvious here" Full review
