One of the capital's top restaurants, the Gallery lives up to its name, with original artwork
lining the walls, making it feel like a smart friend's drawing room. A combination of
Icelandic and French, expect to eat lavishly. The daytime brasserie menu (mains Ikr2000
to Ikr3000) is a tad simpler.

The reported location of TomKat's last dinner as a married couple (you can apparently re-
quest to sit at their table if you book ahead), Sushisamba puts an international spin on
straight-up sushi, alongside meat and seafood mains.
