Updated: 9th of April

Planning to stay in Reykjavik during the Easter holiday?

I bet you’d like to dine out, but since it’s one of the biggest holidays in Iceland, you might have a hard time to find restaurants that are open. To make it easier for you, we have contacted various restaurants and checked their working hours during the busiest days.

The following list includes restaurants that will be open on The Good Friday (10th April) 1st & 2nd Easter days (13th and 14th of April) since those are the most observed days during the Easter weeks. However, have in mind that national holidays in April are the following:

10 April, Friday – Good Friday

13 April, Sunday – Easter Sunday

14 April, Monday – Easter Monday

23 April, Thursday – First Day of Summer

If you have made a decision on which restaurant to go to on Easter days, it is crucial to reserve a table as soon as possible.

Most of the restaurants are very busy during this time. If you book online, it is good to give them a call to confirm that they have received your reservation.
