A group of us came here at a very busy time. It took a long time to get our food because I can tell they were pretty overwhelmed. They were also almost running out of food. My boyfriend and I ordered the scallops and monk fish. Both were delicious however the monk fish was overcooked so it was on the... More

A great place to stop for a hot bowl of delicious lobster soup ....best we have had anywhere. Nice big chunks of lobster in a hot tasty broth......wonderful flavour. With the amount of bread and butter that accompanies it is a great value meal.

This tiny hole in the wall place at the old harbor is as close to an 'authentic' experience you will have in iceland even if all the clientele are tourists. Strangely enough, it makes sense, and even if its tourist status has probably driven up prices and may have compromised on the freshness a bit, it is still a phenomenal... More

As the title noted, we loved the lobster soup so much, we came back twice during our trip. It was a great light meal and served with bread and butter. We didn't have the other offerings but everything looked good and fresh. Very informal dining. The staff was very efficient and even came outside and cleaned the rain from the... More

Small place but the service and food is outstanding, I never plumbed for the lobster soup ( which it is famous for). I had the monk fish and was not disappointed. Nice location and nice friendly staff

Lobster soup will never be this good - our first meal in Iceland having discovered this quirky little place on a previous visit.

If you're up for a quick self meal of fresh fish and wish to try grilled whale, this seems to be a good choice. Not as formal and even good as fish market, but a worthwhile lunch place.

Hands down best lobster soup and seafood ever. Nice informal atmosphere. Great staff. A visit to Iceland would not be complete without eating here.

No menu (basically it's food on sticks which you select yourself and you take your beer out of the fridge). We were seated at the back which has long, shared tables so you're squashed in with a bunch of other people but that was fine. The two of us shared four sticks of fish/seafood, one of potatoes and two mugs... More
