Rub23 Restaurant
Rub23
One of Akureyri's most acclaimed seafood restaurants, serving herb-rubbed grilled fish and sushi that blend Icelandic ingredients with Asian flavors.
Rub23 sits in the red building opposite Akureyri Church, next to Hotel Kea. It focuses on fresh seafood, and its signature is Arctic char and salmon marinated in the house spice rub, plus sushi, lamb and steak. Guests can order a six- or ten-course chef's omakase set to share across the table. It is one of the pricier options in town, so book ahead for dinner. It's a few minutes' walk from the city center.
