My friend and I stumbled across this restaurant for dinner on our way to another restaurant, but we stopped here instead. It was a cosy atmosphere with nice staff. The food menu excited me and I eventually settled on the seafood gratin, which was lovely. I felt the prices were reasonable for dinner in Iceland. We liked it so much we went back the next night. We then went there for buffet lunch after reading the positive reviews on here, but personally I would give it a higher rating for their dinner menu than their lunch buffet. I would recommend this restaurant and would happily go back there should I return to Iceland.

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...

Iceland is an expensive country and food is very frightfully expensive. If you are living at the Hilton Hotel this is a great place to eat. By Iceland standards, it is moderately priced and the food is wholesome and excellent. The price includes the main meal with vegetables, soup, salad, bread and coffee. Even though we did not go back for seconds, as the meal was very filling, we were told we could if we wanted to.The staff were very friendly and helpful.

As diamond Honors members, we could have a complimentary breakfast at Vox. The choices were good and we enjoyed everything. Only issues, a few little flies buzzing around and they keep the curtains pulled so it was quite dark and oppressive. We opened the ones near us and it was much nicer.

Laug-As was suggested to me for my motorcycle tour group of 10 people for our 'Welcome Dinner'. With a great reputation for excellent food, I wanted the group to experience more than just one entrée. Chef Johann and the owner accommodated us perfectly. Guests tried things they probably never would have if not for the Family-style method of being served. So the lamb, the Beef, the Fish were all fantastic... and the special desert was also a topper.

In the pleasant village of Hveragerdi this cafe and bistro incorporates wood furniture, antiques and vintage photos. Meals are based on fresh local ingredients, especially skyr (Icelandic yoghurt), with local and international dishes. The cakes are fresh and served as large portions and, upon request, with a generous amount of whipped cream. Excellent coffee. Friendly and efficient service. Wifi works well. Come early or book in advance during high season. Across the street via the small park there is access to a peaceful foss, a walking path and a beautiful waterfall.

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.

If I am being honest we only ate here at the recommendation of a restaurant nearer our hotel that was full because of a large group, but wow what a recommendation. A fantastic location overlooking the river and the hillside and easily the best food we had on our trip. My lamb part of which had been cooked for 24hrs In the hot spring was simply amazing very tender and full of flavour. The slow cooked chocolate cake with whisky caramel sauce was equally good. Only small and not the cheapest, but where in Iceland is? Probably need to book if your traveling peak season.We walked up the path by the river from the main town only about 5/8 minutes and a lovely way to start the evening

In an unusual location outside of Reykjavik , you will find Gallery Fiskur, an excellent place to get fresh seafood. The citrus cured arctic char is an excellent light starter, with the crunch of a nut and crouton mix and pomegranate giving it an elegant complexity. The peppersteak halibut is excellent, fresh meaty halibut paired with a strong black pepper coating, with a nice mushroom cream sauce. The plokkfiskur- cod with mashed potato and cheese, is a traditional, decadent Icelandic dish . The Haddock Monday style also was a nice set of fillets, with potatoes and seared vegetables. They have a selection of drinks- wines, beers and softdrinks. Service is friendly and provides good suggestions. Nice place for good tasty seafood.
