We came here because i had read the good reviews and was excited to try it. We got a reservation and were told they would only hold table for 5 minutes. We arrived punctually and were seated by a friendly hostess. The waiter was also friendly. We had the catch of the day which was wolffish. Food came out and looked nice - fish served in a pan with potatoes, sauce, and salad altogether - I don't think salad should be served in a hot pan, but I guess that's what they do here. The problem came when we started eating it and it was WAY OVERSALTED. You could not discern any other flavors besides salt. It was very unpleasant and totally ruined the meal for us. I couldn't even finish eating it. The waiter never checked back in to see if everything was ok. The best part of the meal was the bread which they serve in these silly little shopping carts (I guess they think it's whimsical, we thought it was dumb). And there weren't even any bread plates, so you had nowhere to lay your bread to butter it, etc. Unfortunately, this was our worst meal in 12 days in Iceland. Very disappointing :(Sorry the meal was not to your taste we actualy dont add any salt to the wolf fish, the sauce as explained is a citrus sauce and we garnish with cappers and olives to use natural salt, the citrus is often confused as salt. What suprises me is i personaly come to your table and asked if the meal was ok just like I do with every table this is why the waiter does not need to check back, i do it personaly. but you said everything was fine and also when paying said it was fine. . our shopping trolleys and the other random stuff we use is a toast to the namesake and builder of the restaurant Noi he made the many strtange sculptures you see around you in Akureyri and the restaurant, he found uses for some very strange items and we do the same

We assumed this was just going to be a midrange touristy restaurant. Our hotel had recommended it and on arrival, when we saw how large and full it was, our expectations were probably lowered not raised....not least because it was loud enough in there already and we were seated next to a very loud table of people who presumably figured they had to talk the loudest because the whole room would like to hear their tales!!!!!!!!! So we thought âoh well, here we goâ, opened the menu to see the usual very high Iceland prices and thought again âoh well here we goâ!!! But then we were served brilliant food!!!! The sushi pizza photo does it no justice at all. It is so interesting texturally and taste-wise. Sushi chefs might cringe but our taste buds didnât!!! Then the mixed seafood plate with four different pieces of fish, the wolf fish perhaps too heavily coated in sauce, was extra good and so fresh. The end was a bit weird. You had to try to find out your table number and then go to the bar to pay on your way out. After excellent food, that felt a bit awkward and âDIYâ!!!

Strikið restaurant is located on the 5th floor in the centre of town, offering a splendid view over the fjord and the new Cultural and Conference house Hof. During summer meal can be enjoyed on the sheltered terrace adjacent to the restaurant.

Wow, we had the seafood soup...too die for and the fresh cod and salmon entree for lunch. Huge portions but we managed to eat it all! The soup was a large bowl with lots of seafood and had a nice coconut curry flavored broth, I could of bathe in it. Salmon and cod very fresh and delicious serve with lots of veggies, seared potatoes and a rocket salad. Not expensive for us in the us cause of the included tax and tip. Bargain. Beautiful views in the dinning room.Thank you so much for this great review.you are always welcome back ;)

So nice to find a small family restaurant right on the harbor that has fantastic food. Terrific house-made bread ... Fish soup to die for.... Excellent service by a dutiful granddaughter.
