Tryggvaskali - Selfoss

A cute spot. The menu is limited and the food was good and inventive. I had the cod (which was slightly over salty but delicious) and while the chutney was an odd pairing I kept them apart and it was fine. My husband had the burger and when he went to tell them how he wanted it done was told we don 't do that in Iceland. The chef makes it how he thinks it should be. This worked out for my husband because he likes a rare burger but if I had ordered that I would not have been able to eat it. Most of the reviews say how nice the staff is. While they were not unfriendly, we were the only people in the restaurant for quite a bit of time when we first arrived and there was no attempt to speak with us or see how things were going. Not sure how they can handle it when they are full. One final note and this did not effect my rating but I feel compelled to share it the music is atrocious. I don 't mind different styles of music but this was the worst of a rat packy mix anyone could come up with. Overall, I would recommend.

They just started the Christmas menu. We enjoyed the reindeer and started with artic char, both were terrific. Gingerbread and ice cream for dessert.

Very quaint place Atmosphere is awesome, service is very good, prices are reasonable. The menu has items I have never tried including whale and horse, I tried them both and they were both very good!! I would recommend getting there early or reservations! All in all I would for sure go back!

We stumbled upon this restaurant 4 years and it was so good we dined twice there that trip. Upon returning to Iceland we planned our itinerary around returning here again as the food was that exceptional. Every single dish we tried was phenomenal. The lobster soup and beef tenderloin are the best we have ever had. Highly recommend.

The Lobster soup was so spicy that I could not finish it. Tasted nothing like a lobstersoup. The portion was so small and only two very small slizes of baguett did come with it. When my husband asked for extra bread that was not possible witout paing extra for a slize of bread! What a ripp off. I ordered a glass of white wine with the soup but could not finish the glass as the strong spice from the soup made the wine taste funny. Such a shame as this restaurant is so cozy, but we will not come back here.
