Only rated the service lower for those from US who are visiting very typical (IME) service as comparable European restaurants. Food was some of the best I've had. Kids ate light rice, veges and baked potato but they loved the food!! Adults ate soup, salmon, chicken, pasta and a local mammal (I won't mention it here as many will find it ethically challenging). Drink menu was good, atmosphere was awesome (in a European way), and I would for sure ea lt here again. Parking was challenging, but you'll figure it out!

This was such a neat little find during our Iceland trip. We just went and got pleasantly surprised. The salmon is divine and the 2 of the 3 plates they offer are sublime. I attached photos with the cheese plate and the meat plate. I am curious about the sea fruits plate, so maybe next time I'll get that.

Fantastic under the radar spot for a really delicious meal that uses local in season ingredients but prepared with a ton of international cuisine techniques. Mink whale meat isn't an Icelandic delicacy from what I was told but they had it on the menu and of course we had to have it. Really tasted like the best steak I've ever had. Melt in your mouth and meaty and tender all at once. We also had horse steaks and it was very tough but a ton of flavor. Very medieval like feel to the restaurant ambiance and the staff was very nice and welcoming. Looking forward to going back on our next trip in Iceland!

Good food at an affordable price. The Naked potatoes and the salmon were especially wonderful. The service was fine too.

Had to wait 40 minutes for the food to arrive. We were the only people there. I did not get what I ordered, I was offered to get another plate but did not have time for that because I had to be somewhere else soon. I did not eat the food but had to pay for it! The staff was rude and I would not recomment this place for no one!
