Reviews
Just the sort of place a story book would imagine on the north coast of Iceland - dark and cosy, comfortable and warming, hunkered down against the weather outside. Superb cooking, with a strong local feel. Comfort food, more elaborate stuff and good-for-you choices too. One of the top three meals on a long and memorable trip around Route 1 (or the Iceland ring). The best eating house in town by far and yes, of course, quite expensive - though worth it.
