There are not many places in Iceland where you get a beautifully laid out table even with white table clothes for LUNCH! We had a lovely lunch at the Riverside Restaurant last week, food was delicious, service was 100% attentive and friendly. Could not have wished for more. Iceland overall is pricy, but here service and price were well acceptable.Both the langoustine soup and vegetarian dish were great! Congratulations and Thank you!

Food: 10/10Service: 8/10Environment: 9/10I booked for dinner at 18:00. We arrived early, thinking we could sit and have a drink. We were told to return at 18:00!But the bar downstairs had excellent Christmas ale and we found comfortable seats. The restaurant finally opened at 18:02 and we were treated with a fantastic spread of foods.There was smoked lamb, smoked salmon, roasted lamb and pork, cod, and a large variety of vegetables. Everything was perfectly prepared. The problem was there was no labels on anything. So we had to ask what some of the obscure foods were.Deserts were also great, with the Icelandic oatmeal special. I don't know what the other regular foods at this restaurant are ,like, but if you're in Iceland for Christmas, it's hard to imagine a better dinner!

The restaurant is part of the Hotel Grimsborgir and also the location for a very good breakfast buffet. We had dinner and breakfast. Dinner is selected from a menu with a good selection of dishes including vegetarian. Local lamb, excellent local fish options and a selection of beef. A good selection of international wines and champagne but they come at âIcelandic pricesâ. Desert is also available including s cheese option. Staff is attentive and friendly. Since the nearest restaurant is quite a distance given the location of the hotel, many guests are having dinner in the restaurant. I would recommend to make a reservation for a table.

Decided to treat the wife to a nice breakfast on a long Easter weekend, their website says they open at 11 and offer a breakfast dish with eggs bacon and others that sounded great so we decided to make the 20 minute drive, arrived at 11:10 and the sign said it was closed, saw someone working inside so decided to stop in front of the door and walk up and see if it was open, door stayed closed so returned to the car, still saw someone working inside so I was surprised but we decided to leave, looked back when leaving the parking lot and saw the sign had changed to open so we turned back walked up as still the door did not open so I knocked and we saw the same person inside, after a while waiting she finally came and turned on the door so it would open. We were directed to some seats and handed some menus, we had read them online and wanted the breakfast dish so it was an easy decision, staff replied it was only available on the weekends, I replied that this was a weekend as it was a holiday though it was a Thursday as it was a part of Easter, the waitress said she would ask the chef and came back saying that it was not possible, only on Saturdays and Sundays but this was not mentioned on their website or the menus at the location either. After all this we decided to leave and the waitress could not care less, will never return.

I thought this place was a tad cynical and a bit style without substance. Fries in a shiny pretend miniature frying basket irritate me!I still can't get my head around Iceland's economy and the astronomical prices they charge, but because of the clean natural environment you expect food that is somehow an extension of that. Anyhow, we ordered two bowls of meat soup and a small beer. It came to almost the equivalent of â¬40. It just seemed the soup was formulaic. This place struck me as a place whereby the young staff deep fry or heat certain items up. There doesn't seem to be much cooking going on. At least not when we were there. I get the feeling, that with the exception of fried items everything comes from the fridge to the plate or from the fridge to the microwave to the plate.Our soup was clearly a packet of soup that had more natural items added. In our cases there were 3 or 4 pieces of lamb, a few slivers of carrot and I think turnipy type vegetable. It tasted like packet soup too. It came with one of those pre-baked bread rolls from a packet. My feeling is, if you are going to charge so much for something so modest than, make it great and unforgettable. Make it from scratch and with TLC. It reeks of tourist trap. I can't imagine if locals were dining out they'd go anywhere near this place.

Not that there are a lot of choices in town (lol, teeny town) but Iâd have driven to come here. Beautiful food, lovely setting and atmosphere, good service, nice location for a walk (and it looked like the Fontana next door would have been wonderful for a dip in the springs). Pricey but thatâs standard in Iceland, at least as far as we experienced. Great choice.

Truly a hidden gem in the South Coast. Pictures and videos do not do justice to the magic of this place. We were a big wedding group and Andri made sure our arrangements went smoothly and that we have a wonderful viking experience with hands on instruction on axe and arrows as well as sharing in history. Having axe throwing and archery activities outside during sunset will be a favorite memory here. he even let us toast some marshmallows on fire outside. Upon entering, I felt transported back into time, with the lighting and music hauntingly beautiful. The entire ambiance is unlike any other. Here you can enjoy delicious meals with vegan options available. For the brave, they also offer fermented shark ! A must see in Iceland for travelers, also, HIGHLY recommended for events like weddings and corporate gatherings! **They are active on instagram, be sure to check their page out for current videos and picturesHi Betty,Thank you so much for these incredibly kind and generous words. You guys were absolutely amazing guests and we are truly happy to have met you guys. You will always be welcome here at Ingólfsskáli!Thank you again and until next time...

We chose this restaurant after reading many good reviews, so perhaps our expectations were too high.It is very nice inside, quite quirky with a warm and cosy feel. The staff were a mixed experience; the first man we spoke to seemed friendly, but our waitress seemed rather distant and uninterested.The main disappointment really though was the food; there was nothing bad about it as such, but it wasn't particularly good, just rather average. All in all it was an expensive meal that didn't live up to expectations.
