The most tender horse steak I’ve ever tasted. Absolutely incredible. The staff were amazing as well, welcoming and attentive, and made the whole experience feel special. I had such a great time.

We had a wonderful experience at this place. Extremely high-quality fish and very good service from the waiter To be honest, I had never tasted salmon with a flavor like that. I understand it’s farmed, just like the ones you find in other countries, but perhaps Icelandic fish farms are special.. The point is, it was delicious! Without a doubt, this is a traditional spot where you can go to eat and escape the tourist areas, where it isn't worth eating anywhere else

Small offbeat place not far from the church. 3 different sections for seating and mid range in price, service and food amazing. Smoked puffin, smoked salmon, mixed herring and seafood gratin all very well presented and layered in flavour.

Amazing food! We went here to try foods specific to Iceland. I only got pictures of a few. The whale is incredibly unique a must try if you are an adventurous eater. All of the food we had was incredible. As with all places the food is pricey but nothing out of the ordinary. I would highly recommend this place if you are looking for a fancier meal with traditional Icelandic food.

We had a wonderful dinner at Three Coats and it was a perfect way to end our Iceland trip. The food was beautifully presented and full of flavour. We tried the whale sashimi, which was surprisingly delicate and fresh, the halibut was perfectly cooked and very tender, and the grilled lamb was juicy and rich in taste. Every dish was well-executed and truly enjoyable. The ambience was cosy and elegant, and the service was warm and attentive. A great place for a special dinner and for experiencing high-quality Icelandic cuisine. Highly recommended for seafood and meat lovers alike.
