Great value 4 course tasting menu

Went to this restaurant in March 2020 just before COVID restrictions. It is in the old town near the harbour. The 4 course tasting menu is excellent value for money (range from 5450 - 6950) and a great way to try Icelandic contemporary food. Every...course was delicious and very good portions. It is a quirky bar with also a great happy hour - cocktails, wine and beer. Service was extremely efficient and friendly. Highly recommended.More

Lovely!

My partner and I had a great time, the food was delicious and the atmosphere was perfect. Since it is a appetiser restaurant it feels very elegant in the the way the food is presented and that you can have several courses but with a...relaxed rather than pretentious vibe.More

Great Icelandic food

I tried the cod fish, horse meat and langoustine soup, and they were all great. The portions were a bit bigger than expected which makes the price not so bad. Service was great and cocktails of the day too. Would recommend and come back.

Incredible!

Was looking for a nice place for dinner in Reykjavík and walked by this place and checked out the menu. It was a quick sell and later on our way back from town, we went in to book a table! The food was outstanding! Innovative...and delicious! Service was attentive and professional. I can only recommend this place!More

Birthday meal

So we found this restaurant on trip advisor and decided to give it a go due to the reviews. First of all, the price is very reasonable for a restaurant in Iceland, especially the set meals in which I had the 'Fly fish'. The service...from the staff was amazing, they were very attentive and helped to arrange a special suprise for my mum's birthday. The food served was also amazing, we couldn't fault it at all. The size of the set meal was perfect, you will definitely be completely filled up from it! I would definitely recommend you give this place a visit if you go to Iceland. Great service and great food for a nice price.More
