Menam was founded in 1997 by a Thai woman and her Icelandic husband, but since 1999 it has been owned by the same family.

"Menam" is Thai and simply means "by the river." It is therefore fitting that the restaurant, located by one of the country’s largest rivers, Ölfusá, bears the name Menam.

Built on our focus on seasonal and Icelandic ingredients, prepared with the exotic and colorful influences of Thai cuisine, the restaurant’s motto is fresh and tempting.
