Ambrosial Kitchen provides high-quality lunchtime buffet food (known as hlaðborð in Icelandic) from two venues in Reykjavik. Whilst mainly servicing business professionals operating from the buildings we are located in, we also welcome locals and tourists to visit us during our trading hours. We are open to everyone, and we encourage you to come and try our delicious, fresh selection of food straight from the kitchen.
Globally Inspired Food, with a Smile
Starting out as "Glenn's Kitchen" in 2021 from Katrinatun, Reykjavik, Iceland, led by our Kiwi founder and head chef, Glenn Moyle, we transitioned to the name Ambrosial Kitchen in 2023 to mark our expansion into a multi-venue business with locations in Katrinatun 4 and Dalvegur 30.
Ambrosial means "exceptionally pleasing to taste or smell; especially delicious or fragrant" and "worthy of the gods; divine." "Brosa" in Icelandic also means "to smile," so we thought this was the perfect name to convey our plans to offer incredible food, with a smile.
Meet - Glenn Moyle
Glenn, the culinary king behind the business, has been a chef his whole life. Leaving New Zealand at the age of 21 to play water polo in Holland, Glenn travelled the world, spending extended periods in a wide range of countries where he cheffed at a wide range of establishments including pubs in London frequented by Prince's William & Harry, castles in Scotland where he had an unlimited budget, cafes in the Greek Islands serving young travellers, as well as stints in Denmark, Norway, Australia, Honduras and many more.
Arriving in Iceland in 2003 for a summer of cheffing, he stayed on. Outside of the kitchen, he is very active in the Icelandic water polo and CrossFit scenes, and because of his fitness background, the food reflects this, making it a true "nutritional heaven." Glenn is supported by a team from all over the world, including France, Greece, Hungary, Turkey, Ukraine, Syria, Venezuela, Poland, Spain, and Iran.

RB flutti á Dalveg 30 í september 2023 og frá þeim tíma hefur það staðið starfsfólki til boða að fara í morgun- og hádegismat á Ambrosial Kitchen sem er staðsett á 1. hæð í byggingunni.
Frá upphafi hefur verið ánægja með matinn sem er boðið upp á og ekki síst þjónustuna en starfsfólk þar leggur sig fram um að bregðast við ábendingum og óskum viðskiptavina.
Staðurinn sjálfur er hlýlegur og þar ríkir notalegt og gott andrúmsloft.
