Sümac Grill + Drinks
About Sümac Grill + Drinks
Sumac Grill + Drinks on Laugavegur brings together the best of Icelandic ingredients with the vibrant flavors of North Africa and Lebanon. Led by Chef Thráinn Freyr Vigfússon and Head Chef Eyþór Freyr Haraldsson, the restaurant blends local produce with spices, cooking techniques, and inspirations from warm coastal kitchens far to the south. The result is a menu that feels both adventurous and rooted in quality Icelandic sourcing.
The atmosphere matches Reykjavík’s modern, relaxed style while carrying a touch of the exotic. Dishes are thoughtfully crafted to balance fresh seafood, tender meats, and colorful vegetables with bold seasonings like sumac, cumin, and fragrant herbs. Every plate reflects a meeting of cultures—comforting and familiar, yet exciting in its twists and pairings.
Sumac is as much about the experience as it is about the food. The drinks list is curated to match the richness and spice of the menu, offering wines, cocktails, and non-alcoholic options that enhance the flavors on the plate.
