The combination of a great location with a beautiful view... next to the port in Stykkishólmur... and delicious food placed this restaurant in my top three restaurant selection... on my last 2 months trip to Iceland. The quality and selection of local dishes is excellent and the menu is innovative and delicious. The presentation of dishes simple but excellent ... highlight top notch Icelandic seafood and other tempting dishes. Both service and security measures were tops and made the whole experience even more pleasant. Anyway, back to my next visit to Iceland... and by the way, make sure you make a reservation, otherwise you could not get a table!

MUST GO. Favorite restaurant of the trip. We didn’t get the tasting menu… we just ordered one of each dish. Highlights: cod cheeks, sourdough bread, wolffish.

Best seafood dishes I have ever had! This place is worth a visit to western Iceland itself. Such unique flavors, complementing each other perfectly, we are amazed by this place and Icelandic cuisine. Staff is also super friendly and attentive, thanks for this great experience!

Really good food here, it's a small restaurant with small plates, but the food and service is really good. It was a nice rainy candle light dinner by the window for me. The waitress was fantastic and very attentive. I think that the menu being put on a wooden fish skeleton in a QR code was pretty clever.

[September 2021] I highly recommend making a reservation before coming in, as the restaurant is a popular stop! The restaurant itself had a dimly lit ambiance which felt very cozy, and was a relaxing way to end a long day traveling in Snæfellsnes. I decided to try the six course tasting menu, which I thought was an excellent array of foods with good portions each! There were various flavor combinations I would have never tried otherwise, so I thought it was a neat way to get out of my comfort zone! Attached are pictures of the dishes, which consisted of beetroot, cod cheeks, lumpfish roe with cream cheese and waffles, cod confit, spotted wolffish, then chocolate mousse.
