Iceland, home to just 330,000 people, can now lay claim to its first Michelin star.
The restaurant Dill, located in the central part of capital city Reykjavik, was recently presented with the award at a reception in Stockholm, Sweden. Dill’s been open since 2009 and has won numerous regional awards since then, but this is the 30-seat venue’s first brush with broader international acclaim.
In an interview with The Iceland Monitor, head chef Ragnar Eiríksson said the news was an enormous honour for Dill’s crew, and that the restaurant “builds on Icelandic traditions and Icelandic and Nordic ideology” while only using “the best and purest of Icelandic ingredients in our cooking.”
