Caught the weekend lunch buffet! For $54k the two of us ate a feast of quite decent fish, chips, potatoes and a salad bar! The place must be doing something right as it was full of local tradesmen! Highly recommend!!!!!

This place is not made for tourists its made for hard working Icelandic people. You want to eat like the locals do as the locals do.
