What a find. We had just 6 hours in Rejkavik after touring other areas of Iceland. We were strolling back from the old harbor at around 6.00 p.m. and came across this little bar and restaurant. The atmosphere and decor looked good, and the menu...More

Had the Smokey bay menu. Everything was amazing. The hot smoked salmon was mouth watering. The carpaccio superb and the lamb succulent. 2 different cuts. The creme brulee was excellent. Really pleased with the whole meal. Service was very good too. Highly highly recommended. Very...More
