I had the fish stew and it was excellent — great balance with lots of flavors, perfectly cooked fish, sweet potatoes, and well-equilibrated sauces. The staff were very nice and the atmosphere was cosy and welcoming. A really enjoyable dining experience!

Very tasty Icelandic food in the center of Reykjavík. We had the fish stew and the arctic char, which were both delicious and filling. The sweet bread which comes with the fish stew was a nice addition to the dish, and the sauce of the arctic char was really good.

Excellent service and possibly the best lamb shank I’ve had. The meat was juicy and tender with no trace of gaminess. Lamb in Iceland has indeed proven to be superior. The Arctic char was very well executed as well. The accompanying sauce was memorable.

This restaurant is super amazing with taste, service and its price. It is more affordable than others (I walked 4-5 restaurants to see their menu) with a high rating on Google. I ordered fish stew (plokkfiskur) for 4,300isk since it has a really high reputation and it was so good. The sauce in orange was really tasty, and the cod with smashed potatoes is fantastic. As an Asian I expect it has more rice, but it is actually make me very full with other carbohydrates (given that I have a bigger appetite than normal people😆). The bread is out of my expectation as well, never taste a bread like this. I wish to come back and try the lamb or catch of the day which both I wanna try but eating alone can't order too much. Also really appreciate the staff who work yesterday (5 June) they are really helpful and nice to me and other guests. Being sensitive to their needs and very kindly help with water spilling incident caused by other guest. Highly recommend this restaurant.
