ÓX means “to grow”

What began as Þráinn Freyr Vigfússon’s vision of creating an intimate dining experience rooted in Icelandic culinary heritage has continued to evolve over the years.

In 2022, ÓX was honored with its first Michelin Star. In 2025, we were awarded the Michelin Green Star, recognizing our commitment to sustainability and responsible gastronomy.

What is your favorite thing to do in Iceland or Reykjavík?⛰️

Going up north for family and the most beautiful landscapes. Reykjavík is vibrant and usually alive but breaking bread with friends at a good spot, hitting the pools on an icy night, and strolling through the old part of downtown is key.

Whats your favorite thing to cook? 🥘

At home, it’s an honest roasted drippin chicken that hits the hardest. At work, I’d say, due to my rapid pace, it’s each and every dish I work on at that time.

What is your favorite restaurant experience?

So many experiences I could mention, but The French Laundry was a memorable one for sure. Here in Iceland, I’d have to say the Siggi Laufdals Grillið 2018 experience.

Favorite Icelandic ingredient?

Without a doubt, the Icelandic cattle and its produce. Icelandic dairy products are at the highest level - butter, cream, milk, cheese… all of it 🧀🥛🧈

What song gets you through service?

🎶 Einn dans við mig - Hemmi Gunn

Hot or Cold?

A closer look at one of our favorite indulgences👀

Osetra caviar from Rossini rests on a silky savory custard infused with Icelandic dulse, bringing a subtle taste of the ocean. On top, pickled sweet dulse adds brightness and texture, while a rich scallop sauce, crafted from the skirt and roe ties the dish together with deep, natural sweetness.
