Fantastic food, loved it all. Best cod, pizza and burger ever. Have eaten all over Europe, but this is definitely in another league. Will be back 😊
I waited two years until I had some time to go to this part of town to visit the restaurant I'd heard so many positive reviews about. They offer a limited number of dishes, but they really excelanyo
Great ambience and service. Amazing pizza and lasagne.Didn't like Fish and chips however sadly. A lovely experience overall. Another day, 2 pizzas, Dallas burger - exquisite and a lovely Panna cota
During our week in Iceland, we ended up eating here almost every other day — after day trips or on our way back from the Golden Circle, both dine-in and takeaway. You can really feel the passion of the young owners of this family run business. You taste the freshness and quality in every bite, especially in their homemade sourdough and other house-made items. The menu offers great variety (pizza, burgers, lasagne, homemade! lambsoup, salads, and dessert), all at very fair Icelandic prices. By the way they are also using avocado oil to fry. The lasagne was my absolute favorite, and the fish and chips were incredibly fresh as well. The interior is simple, but clearly a work in progress, and we’re curious to see how it continues to evolve. If you’re in Reykjavík, this place in Kópavogur is 100% worth the short drive, with plenty of parking right outside. You definitely won’t regret stopping by. Can’t wait to come back!
We discovered this place and were won over. The burger bun was soft and fluffy. The different flavors, the original combinations of ingredients.
