The best meal I had in Iceland!!! Can't say anything wrong and can only praise it on every level! Will go every time I go back to Reykjavik!

Farid Hamka

One of the best places to eat in Reykjavik if not for the price. The Icelandic Barley is a must try. The waiter when I was here, Bjarki, is so handsome :)

François

This was the only restaurant where I could find minke whale in January. It was delicious ! It tasted like a very good rumsteak. Would recommend !

Michelle R

Fish stew very rich, hearty, and delicious. The daily perch special was awesome! Very cute little place, almost empty at lunch time.

Simon Eddy

A Reykjavik institution but it won't break the bank any more than anywhere else. Lovely local cuisine , well cooked. They also offer a children's menu.

Maaike

So worth the extra cash. Pretty plates and delicious food. Great Icelandic menu!

Natalya

Lovely place with great menu options. Lots of traditional exotic dishes. Do dare to taste the fermented shark , just don't sniff it first

Who Cares

Friendly service , slow cooking. Very tasty food but beware of the smallish portions. What was advertized as a regular main dish resembled the size of a decent appetizer . Acceptable price for lunch .

Christina Zhang

Definitely try the "all tastes of the table" and their Icelandic feast!

Michael Puscar

If you’re here in December, get the Christmas menu. Everything is amazing!

Christine Wong

great place to try traditional icelandic food - the whale is delicious!

Francesca Love

Excellent service and super fast, lovely staff . Very good food and prosecco .

Natalia Zhulid

The worst lobster soup I've ever tried. So spicy and salty, tastes like simple fast soup , very dissapointed. The best lobster soup I tried in Akureiry, strongly recommended to go there.

Joanie O'Sullivan

Try the langoustine soup and Atlantic char. Both were delicious

Herwig Syen

Dare you to try the whale tartar , fermented shark and smoked puffin breast, all of it delicious!

Shani Akirov

Great service. Puffin meat, however, is only a summertime delicacy.

Jón Jónsson

Everything !

Gina Lipovics

I had whale , shark and puffin here. Breathtaking!

Anna Maria Jorgensen

Steven Chang

Try the lamb shank (or if you're adventurous, the game menu)

Thom James

Ari Karppinen

What incredible food and service!

Bob R

Been here an hour now. It's lunchtime. There are literally 3 tables of people here. We're still waiting for food.

Anders Mundt Due

Fantastic Lamb Shank .

Remmi Pedersen

The homemade bread is great!

冰冰

Don't order whale unless you like gristle - it's full or stringy tendon bits (;_;)

Hakon Tdal

I had whale . It was stringy and difficult to cut, but not to eat. It was good and I will happily have it again.

Alexander Kovalenko

Very delicious whale meat

Maksim Niznakomov

Очень вкусно, тупик и лосось великолепны

Loukanine

Здесь совсем никуда не торопятся. Можно уснуть и успеть проснуться пока ожидаешь заказ.

Artem Grinenko

В меню сырая акула - сильно пахнет аммиаком. Говорят, что она лежит в погребах несколько месяцев перед тем, как Вам ее подадут

Loukanine

Русские здесь есть? Лайкни сердце, если да.
