Sumac Grill + Drinks

Sumac's vibrancy seeps into everything: the food, the room, the service and the mix of diners across age groups. Chef Þráinn's love for Lebanese-Levantine flavours runs through the menu, and it is a successful transplant from Beirut to Reykjavík. For an indulgent spread, get all the dips and a few flatbreads, then mop them up with the grilled lamb chops (commendable for the absence of sous vide) and the now cult whole roasted cauliflower. Our only pet peeve is the kitchen's mysterious affinity for smooth purées: Sumac, we love you, but give us a gritty muhammara.
