At Austur we grill all our steaks on a real wooden charcoal grill, where the smokey flavours and smell are
enjoyed to the fullest. All our meat is an icelandic top quality product. The meat gets premium handling and is
extremely tender. We are proud to say that all our desserts are made by Örvar Birgisson, member of the Icelandic
Culinary Team. We also have delicious fish courses for those who want something lighter.
Austur Steakhouse is located in the heart
of Reykjavik at Austurstræti 7.

vanishing in one’s life philosophy. Open
