Had steak sandwich and fries, fries were excellent , sandwich was tasty but steak was tough, this restaurant is located in food mall, very busy with many other choices of restaurants, wife had fish and chips were were good
Wow, what a meal! We got the Ling (tastes like cod with the texture of lobster) and it was perfectly cooked. A very hearty did, my mom and I split it. Highly recommend! (It was a special that day but I’m sure any of the fresh catches are delicious
A good restaurant, fast service, quality food, right in the food hall. Located right in the city center of Reykjavik, this spot is getting crowded easily because is right in the middle of many restaurants. I got some fish and chips, decent portion but the fish was a bit too greasy. I would recommend to get more lemon on the side to squeeze on the fish. Fries are basic salted frozen fries but tasty. The sauce was good.
Very tasty fish and chips. Got the garlic bread with it as well which was a great addition. Very meaty fish which made it extra tasty. Might not be typically for Iceland but having some malt vinegar would have made it perfect.
