Rub23 is primarily a seafood restaurant with a wide variety of fish species and a wide selection of sushi dishes, mixed with meat dishes.

However, it is one thing that creates the restaurant's unique identity in the Icelandic and international markets, but it is a diverse combination of menus with ready-made spices that customers can choose. RUB has become a known name for spice mixes that are applied and / or rubbed into the raw material, as the name suggests. This way, customers can choose their ingredients, fish or meat, and then opt out of the spice mix they want to try. On the menu are the favorite combinations of the chefs at any time.
