Lamb soup is wonderfully spicy and warming. A great addition to that is the lamb pattè on a homemade rye bread . Staff is extremely nice + Free wifi :)

Rye bread ice cream !So good u'll be tempted not to share.A healthy dessert as its not sweet&does not feel cloying at all.Head to the 2nd floor to get a view of the church while u enjoy your ice cream

Sad Matzoh

Had a delicious Icelandic sampler platter of mashed fish , smoked trout , smoked lamb , fermented shark, & dried fish . Definitely recommend it, & had a nice schnapps of birsk to complement it afterwards

Matthias

Try the Icelandic plate - two rye bread slices, one with mashed fish & the other with egg & herring , and Loki's unique Rye bread ice cream .

Icelandic superstition: if you can keep down a piece of fermented shark and take a shot of Black Death, you are a man. Megan and I are men (Bryson & Michael, too).

Traditional Icelandic food . Get the Icelandic plate #3! And try the shark meat for tasting if you want (warning: it's not that good) also, their rye bread ice cream is a must!

Tom

Decent coffee and great sample plates of traditional Icelandic staples like roast lamb on flatbread and dried fish . The rye bread ice cream is a must try, it's delicious!

Giselle Valdez

Best breakfast in Reykjavik so far! Icelandic plate 3 and pancake with skyr and caramel are a must! You will not regret it. You can pass on the cappuccino though.

Kate Furman

Authentic Icelandic spot right next to Hallgrímskirkja. Be brave and try the shark sampler and dried fish with butter. (Don't smell the shark before consumption)

Good location, service and icelandic food . One drawback: was there on Good Friday and it was the only place in Iceland I experienced applying +20% on the prices due to Easter.

The place to have the local breakfast . You should try the lamb soup or the smashed fish . Latte is good as well

Zalán Meggyesi

The rye-bread ice cream is tasty without being overly sweet, and the Farmers Coffee is an interesting blend of coffee and the local Brennivin liquor .

Greg Fuller

Nice little cafe near the main church downtown. Went in for breakfast and they offered a full menu at that time. Nice service and good food.

Tilman Benecke

original islandic kitchen - lamb was delicious - nice friendly staff and a somehow mesmerizing wallpainting

Dana Jensen

Great place to try small amounts of some of the more unusual old Icelandic foods like the basking shark dried fish . Yummy rye bread ice cream

Amy Koenig

Four words: rye bread ice cream . (Well , one word in Icelandic: rúgbrauðsís.) Get one of the tasting plates that includes it. The meat soup is also good if you want something hot.

Chloe Gatta

Great Loki tea and meat soup , also a perfect place to try the infamous hakarl as they don't give you too much of it (chew really well ).

Ty Jaquez

Awesome Icelandic food ! Had the daily special , and was blown away. The staff is very friendly !

SV Ah Ma

A must do breakfast in Reykjavik to try horrendous shark and otherwise lovely other local treats

Mike Van Til

A local brought us here for Icelandic food . The vegetarian plate was really quite good. My wife enjoyed her fish stew as well .

Lars Bom

Maggy Luy

Love it. I wouldn't go for the Klein's as it's very heavy but the Christmas plate was very nice.

Kimmie Casteel

Everything here is delicious. Try something new! Service was friendly and great. Plan on coming every day of our stay in Reykjavik !

Benjamin Doyle

good portions, authentic Íslandic, get brennevin in hot chocolate , you won't regret it

Elizabeth

Amazing Icelandic culinary experience! Ask for Brieta & go for the rack of lamb 😍

Felix E.

Excellent place, very good food and nice personnel! Definitely recommend it and don't be afraid of the shark!

Norida

Omg the shark. Did order the meat soup and the islandic plate 1. We recommend!

Tom Chan

Iceland Plate II - great cured and smoked meats . Try the shark but don't smell it - needs some chasers

Camden Sikes

The mashed fish and trout featured on some of the Icelandic plates are both very good

Kelsey Huse

Pancake with skyr and caramel = amazing. Meat soup is amazing too

Olivia Heredia Otero

The rye bread ice cream was very delicious. Pretty high prices for the quantity of food served.

Gadi Shamia

It felt like a tourist trap but we went anyway since it got good reviews. We had the Icelandic plate that was mediocre at best. Too much butter, the smoke tastes was too present in the fish . Avoid.

Lee

Check out the Hákarl(fermented shark)! It's not as scary as everyone makes it sound.

Magaly

A nice and relaxing place to stop by and have a cup of coffee .

Rusty Blazenhoff

We *loved* this place. The spelt bagel with trout was fantastic, in fact everything was really delicious.

Caroline Tissot

The meat soup and the gratinated fish were very good. You can try the shark - but do not smell it before.

Paul Gilbert

Second floor gives a good view of the Church . Good place to sample traditional Icelandic fare

metin yegenoglu

Icelandic plate II was delicious. Coffee was not good though. It has a beautiful view of the hallgrimskirkja.

Alejandro Hernández

The fish stew is delicious! Try the hakarl as well ;-)

Sotiris Tsioutsias

Great breakfast in reasonable prides.

Natalie

rye bread is so good! The rye bread ice cream is even more amazing!

John Parkes

Try the shark. You may regret it, but do it anyway. Service was poor unfortunately, you need to be quite assertive to get attention from the staff .

Jersey Dad69

I recommend the herring and rye ice cream ; though not together:).

Myrosia Pabyrivska

Tasty food; nice service

Jamie Bunce

Spelt bagels were delicious and simple. Desserts were ok but very creamy!

Jordan Kong

One-of-a-kind rye bread ice cream . Offers great views of the church while you dine!

Joe Messina

Everything is good here! Don't be afraid to try anything new.

Rogelio Toledo

Herring is amazing and Rye Ice cream
