This restaurant was attractive and centrally located so we stopped in for lunch. Iceland restaurants are generally expensive, however this restaurant served an all you can eat combination of soup, bread and salad that was very reasonably priced -- and the food was wonderful, warm and filling.

From an Islandic point of view it used to be very good value for the price before 2008. Makes you feel sad.

The prices here were typical of Icelandic restaurants, but the quality was not as good. Especially on a slower night, you could easily get a better meal for a similar price at one of the restaurants down the street.

The food won't impress, but it's good enough for a decent lunch. We opted for the salad bar and soup for an extra 1000 ISK and they were very good. Location of restaurant is very central and across from the Kea Hotel. Seemed a little geared toward tourists. I'd save Strikid and Rub 23 for dinners and go to Bautinn... More

We stayed at the Kea Hotel so it was convenient to cross the street for dinner. The restaurant was not busy but they sat us in the back anyway. After a long wait for service, we noticed that the hostess was sitting tourists toward the back of the facility and putting locals in the front where the good views and... More

Not overly impressed, but it was OK. A bit cramped, had fit in a lot of tables because they were busy. Very convenient for Kea hotel - right across road

I was excited to go to this restaurant because I had heard about how good it was and there was always a line to get inside. I was very disappointed. The service was very slow and the food was bland. It might have been an off day for them, but I was put off by the experience.
