Intimate French bistro bringing classic Parisian fare to Reykjavik with a seasonal menu of coq au vin, duck confit, and French onion soup. The wine list is thoughtfully curated to complement the food. A romantic setting for a leisurely dinner on any day of the week.
Le Dimanche is an intimate French bistro on Frakkastígur in central Reykjavík, bringing classic Parisian dishes such as coq au vin, duck confit, and French onion soup to a seasonal, changing menu. The wine list is thoughtfully curated to complement the food, reflecting a deliberate focus on pairing rather than simply offering a long list of bottles. The dining room is small and romantic, with warm lighting and close seating that suits a leisurely dinner more than a quick meal, and the restaurant is open every day of the week, including the Sunday its name references. Service follows a relaxed, unhurried French bistro rhythm rather than a fast turnover model. Reservations are recommended given the small size of the dining room and its strong reputation for classic French cooking.
