Traditional Icelandic food in a friendly , cosy bar also popular among the locals. The pick of this place would be the Kjötsúpa - Icelandic meat soup - a hearty bowl of lamb soup with rye bread .

Dimitra Bouziou

Good value for money compared to other places in Reykjavic, good food and service, I just disagree with the concept of serving whale and puffin dishes.

Visited when it was not busy, but this place is right in The city center, with generous portions and value for The money. The food was on The comfort food side and very delicious

Great bar with really nice bar keepers, had the icelandic burger and a solbert aldinbjör - great combination, one of the best shandies I ever tried. Reservation is recommended if you come around 9pm.

Live music ; and at least tonight the band is an awesome combination of Grant Green, Boz Scaggs & Daft Punk's Random Access Memories. Oh and the they have ALL the beer .

This place is in the league of it's own. The appetizer platter is filling for 2 people. House beer is magnificent. Lamb shank is melting in your mouth and if you still have space for dessert ...

In this expensive city this is a good place to try weird stuff like whale, puffin or shark meat. Crowded and cosy bar , definitely recommended ????

Hier gibts Sólbert (Sítrus schmeckt mir am besten). Außerdem die isländische Spezialität Hákarl (fermentiertes Fleisch des Grönlandhais). Einfach eklig, aber muss man mal probiert haben. ;)
