The outside of this restaurant building does not look like a gourmet restaurant so don’t be fooled.
Their specialty is langoustine and both the soup and main course are flavourful. We shared a dinner of 300 grams and that was enough. Save room for the caramel meringue dessert. Better than the chocolate cake.
We ate about 3 pm but still were warmly received and served.

We were recommended to this restaurant as it was our friends’ favorite meal when they visited Iceland a few years ago. It is about a 10 min drive south of Selfoss. The three course meal consisted of (magical) langostino soup - warm, delicious, with a little spice at the end. Second course was langostino tails in a garlic and oil sauce with roasted potatoes. The sides were two nicely complimentary salads, one of greens and the other a cucumber and red onion with balsamic vinaigrette. Third course was dessert. The only two left were the carrot cake and chocolate cake. Both delicious. Worth the visit! Wait staff very pleasant.

We enjoyed the whole experience... three small 3-course orders for three adults made for a very generous dinner. The soup, langoustines, bread and sides, and the desserts were all tasty. It was a lovely dinner in a delightful, if remote, setting. Not inexpensive, however, but nothing in Iceland is!

We ordered the site mentioned krepsehales soup which one according to the menu is willing to die for. We were served soup with crust tails, but it did not taste shellfish of the soup itself. The taste was indeterminate and we can say with certainty that it was not cooked on force from shellfish or fish. This is definitely not a soup you're willing to die for. The crab tails, however, were very good, the same was the bread.

Too much hype has been built up around this restaurant. The three course meal was not unique or special. The service was slow, even though there were only a few customers in the restaurant at 5pm on a Friday evening. By 5:15 we were the only two customers in the restaurant, and even though they had the entire restaurant to choose from, the host brought four adults and a toddler to the table right next to ours, disappointing way to end a mediocre meal.

The soup is always exquisite - the langoustines, sides, bread and sauces always yummy! This time we had two persons with celiac in the group. They got gluten free bread but when it came to ordering deserts the waiter told us that he had realized that there was noting gluten free on the menu. So, while we were having our mains, he quickly ran to the store to buy some ice cream! Ice cream with berry sauce was therefore all of a sudden also available. We commended him for going the extra mile for us. So very well appreciated and well done. Great food, nice atmo and good service. We go there again and again and love it every time.

We stopped in during a road trip during extremely bad weather, they were very welcoming, and served us an absolutely delicious meal. It's a relatively limited menu, but if you're here you should be getting the soup and the main course of langostines, there's no reason to order anything else.
We didn't do dessert (it looked lovely) as we had already eaten too much for lunch, but they looked excellent and homemade as well.

Really not much to it. Sure fresh langostino will taste good and the potatoes are buttery but nothing special in the meal. Just a big step below what it should be. Even the atmosphere wasn’t cozy. When you’re doing only one thing, it should be truly done well. Too salty even from a salt lover perspective and just not great.

Had my birthday dinner here on a busy Sunday night so I was glad we had a reservation. Service was fast and the lobsters were broiled in butter and brought to the table hot. Meringue cake for dessert was terrific and the coffee was good, too. They even had decaf that was not instant.

We detoured here, South of Selfoss, on the way to Vik from Reykjavik. We were here at lunchtime and the place was almost empty. My husband ordered the langoustine, and I went with the soup. We each sampled the other's dish. The soup was good, but I wish I had ordered the langoustine. We spent about 90 USD for the two dishes. They gave us a loaf of bread, which we used to sop up the garlic butter sauce for the langoustines, and every last drop of the soup.
We enjoyed our meal so much that we returned a few days later. This time, we both ordered the three- course meal. The soup was actually much better this time. It was hotter, thinner, and more flavorful than the first time. The langoustines were a bit better the first time, having been smaller, more tender, and easier to remove from the shell. With a beer for my husband and a glass of wine for me, the check came to 180 USD, or about twice what we paid the first time. It was our most expensive meal of the trip, but it was an excellent meal that included an Icelandic specialty. We really enjoyed the experience and considered it to be money well-spent.

We had booked this restaurant well in advance which was just as well as it filled up. We ordered the 3 course menu which included soup, main course of langoustine and dessert. We ordered 300g langoustine for main course. This was all enough for two hungry people. Well, it lived up to our high expectations. It's a family run place, very relaxed surrounds. One of our best meals in Iceland. Highly recommend.

Excellent little restaurant, specializing in langoustine. Langoustine soup as a starter then generous pan-fried langoustines as a main course. We enjoyed these tasty and hearty dishes. Carrot cake or like a big wonderful one to finish with a touch of indulgence. Top 👌🏼

Worth the extra driving distance and the slightly higher price to enjoy delicious lobster soup and langoustine cooked in garlic butter. Portion sizes are incredibly generous. The lobster soup has a tremendous depth of flavour from the stock used. The 3-course option is a good choice to enjoy the best of both worlds, the soup and the langoustines. Strangely the restaurant was empty when we had our lunch but it was set for some later reservations. The emptiness did not detract from the attentive service and delicious food.

Unfortunately there is a new cook who does not appreciate that lobster should not be cooked to a dry state and the pan drippings to being caked and stuck to the pan.
The cucumber and carrots are pickled and the salad had pickle juice on it.
Too bad. Suggest that an Icelandic cook, who knows how to cook seafood, be hired to train this one.

If you are near this are do NOT miss visiting this restaurant. They are well-known for their langoustine soup, which is absolutely magical!! They have incredible cakes too for dessert. We would never miss an opportunity to dine here, and there is a great view of the shoreline too!
One criticism: My husband asked for a beer recommendation and the waiter told him he didn't know because he didn't drink beer. Staff should still be able to provide descriptions of items (like beer or anything else on the menu) to guests even if they do not partake themselves.
