We went here as part of a pre-paid glacier walk/northern lights tour through Icelandair/Iceland Mountain Guides. We weren't expecting too much as a pre-set, pre-paid meal, but we were pleasantly surprised. We found the lobster (langoustine) soup quite flavourful, and we really enjoyed the breads with the different sauces/dips. The service was quite quick, considering they were serving our group...

the menu here is lagoustine, a large, commercially important prawn. the Brits will understand it; but to the Americans....don't imagine a maine-type lobster. the soup is a slightly thin cream broth with pieces of the shrimp in it. everyone with us (close to a dozen people) said the soup was good. there was also bread with several things to smear...

The restaurant may not look like much on the outside but god, do they make divine lobster. Look no further on the menu then simply the lobster or the lobstersoup. These dishes make you want.. More lobster.. And yes tou can make a decent meal out of just lobstersoup. It's most definatly worth the drive to the middle of nowhere.. More

We had heared about this place and it was a relatively small detour, so we checked it out and although it was not the best lobster we ever had and considering the small size of icelandic lobster tails we were happy with this tasty meal. On a cloudy day, we wouldn't, however, drive 40 km from Reykjavik to get there... More

My husband and I shared a wonderful lunch, a pot of the sweetest lobster tails (about 24, each the size of a large gamba shrimp, but richer in flavor) cooked in garlic butter and parsley, served with big lemons.. Pretty sure this was the BEST meal of our entire 12 day trip, and we ate some wonderful seafood... (The view... More

... and if they do, then for the better ;-) We've had dinner in the Við Fjöruborðið already once before during our roundtrip in 2005. Returning 6 years later with friends, we were extremely happy to find out that 1. the restaurant still existed and 2. the quality of food as well as the friendliness and professionalism of the staff...

Our family had dinner here after a rainy day of exploring the southern coast. The food was great; half of us had the famous soup, and the others had lobster. I had soup, and wished we could go back again to try the lobster, which was apparently fantastic too. We didn't have a reservation, but were very lucky to get... More

We visited this restaurant following the advice of our guide, which said that it’s worth driving even from Reykjavik to taste its lobster, and we didn’t regret it. When we arrived, the restaurant was full but in less than 15’ the waiter managed to find us a table. We tasted its lobster in two ways. We had a lobster soup... More

A real find: Close to Reykjavik but with an entirely different feeling, relatively reasonably priced, filled with local families, good beer and good vibes. My husband and I ordered the lobster soup as a main dish and the medium (by weight) "lobster" pot (langostino in the U.S.), prepared in a perfect garlic broth. We also ordered the lobster soup as...
