I absolutely recommend eating here, I have I tried the Onion soup, Duck confit and the Creme Brulee for desert. I liked all of them a lot but the Creme Brulee I just love. Have come back for 2 sometimes 3 at a time. Creamy, refreshing, light absolute heaven in my opinion. The owner is a nice person in my opinion and the staff have been nice too. Don't hesitate trying !.

At the end of our winter tour of Iceland, we stayed 3 nights in Reykjavik. On the 1st evening, we went to this restaurant and really loved the experience : awesome food, Daniel (waiter) and Daniel (chief) where really friendly and giving great recommandations, atmoshpere was quiet and classy, with a nice wines range. Daniel (the waiter) was really enjoying being at your service and had also this nice French touch with a few words in French (due to the restaurant theme) that were part of the experience. As French people, we appreciated this too. We came back a second evening and the experience was even better, with lots of talks and laugh with Daniel and Daniel. We definitely highly recommend the place and would 100% go back there if visiting again Iceland. Oh, and the prices are about the same as any other restaurant of this kind in city.

Just excellent! – situated in a food hall kind of place with other kitchens and bars where the atmosphere was really nice. We ordered via the qr code on the table and our food was brought to us. I had the slow cooked pork and it was delicious and can’t fault the service or value for money.
