You wouldn't go wrong with lobster soup! Try also one of the fish kebabs, from char, salmon to cod, oh and everything is fresh here! The potato salad is also a perfect side dish to the meal.
Tyler TannerSeptember 26, 2014
It lives up to the food blogger hype. This is definitely a place you want to hit up while visiting here. The soup is really good, but don't miss the kebabs and, for the adventurous, minke whale

Amazing lobster soup and fish skewers in Reykjavík! We had cod, but you can choose between 10 different types of fish and other seafood. Nice spot at the haven! You can sit inside and outside.

Delicious fresh seafood skewers with good flavor (though I recommend getting some of the sauces for the extra 100KR). If you get the potato one, definitely get the creamy garlic sauce!

I can’t stop thinking about the lobster soup. Delicious, comforting, and full of flavor. The bread is also incredible! Order up a bowl, grab a Gull beer, & enjoy this quaint authentic seafood shack.

Food was good, area is lovely (in the port). It is by far the least touristic restaurant in the area. Great lobster soup . U can choose the sea food your want to be grilled. Quite interesting options

Had a very tasty Icelandic sampler platter of mashed fish, smoked trout, fermented shark, smoked lamb, and dried fish. Delicious, and had a schnapps of birsk to complement it!

I know there's already 132 tips saying it but, in case you missed it: try the lobster soup. Also, there are to extra rooms to the back and upstairs with proper tables and chairs. Read more

Order your fish RAW! They will ask you several times if this is what you want. And then bring you the freshest caught of Arctic Char awesomeness. You will end up with a huge plate of sushimi!

Nice food and the guys there very friendly;) take a lobster soup!! The must !
Emmanuel JeffersonJuly 24, 2015
This is the place to go for Lobster Soup. They also have whale meat sampler if you're a bit adventurous but still save room for the soup and grill fish

Try the lobster soup - perfect for a cold day. They served it nice and warm with freshly baked bread, too.
TomOctober 26, 2018
Staff is very friendly but service is very slow. Delicious grilled seafood, very fresh. The lobster soup is a must try.
Tugce EsenerNovember 2, 2016
Lobster soup! Go for lunch and dont mind the long line. Yhe service is fast and definately worth it!
Lillian PrzFebruary 18, 2017
Delicious lobster soup and fresh fish skewers. Salmon is delicious! Be prepared to wait 30 min to get your food. Tiny place with small seating area. Not good for big groups.
Jesse TaoJanuary 2, 2014
Lobster is Icelandic for langoustine so its really a langoustine bisque soup. Still very good. Be ready to ask for more bread. And try the fresh fish on sticks
ninaJanuary 23, 2014
Get some salty lobster soup and enjoy the cute, old-timey atmosphere.
Aaron GMay 8, 2016
Authentic and super fresh fish skewers! Also, the place is much bigger than what it seems in the photos.
Kailey L.March 30, 2017
Came here because of its fame but it was not "the best lobster soup in the world", sadly. Soup was thin and tasted mostly of fish and vegetables. We had a better lobster soup in Höfn, Iceland.
Ben EngenOctober 30, 2022
The history of this place is really cool and you can try such local delicacies as pickled shark and whale steaks. ...if you're brave.
WendyNovember 8, 2018
Lobster soup is a must get here. Cod skewer was a little dry. Love that they have other skewer options though. Cozy space.
Sarah RocheNovember 17, 2012
Lobster soup is definitely worth the wait. Bread was delicious, too. I don't think it's a place that would work for large groups, but then what European restaurant does?
Stacey YuenMarch 10, 2014
Scallops are delicious! Share the minke whale if just tasting. Reasonably priced seafood and helpful staff. Order first, then pull up a seat!
Ricardo BatistaMay 6, 2016
Good lobster soup, have a go at the trout on the right and whale meat on the left.
Berat YARDIMCISeptember 3, 2011
Lobster Soup is delicious and also the Cod/Bacalao. It was listed as a caption in New York Times. It is a temporary wooden shack in nice atmosphere of the Reykjavik Harbour.
Grace S.May 7, 2016
Lobster soup! Not too creamy and lobster is perfectly poached.
Harris SchaerMay 17, 2014
Extremely affordable fish meals of up to 10 different varieties. Preparation is pretty standard and there are many sides, but it's a great choice!
Mary Quite ContraryMarch 23, 2014
Lobster bisque is a must. Their fish skewers are tasty and tender. If you're feeling adventurous, try the whale steak... It's gamey.
Jack LiuDecember 25, 2016
Good lobster soup, fish on the stick is very fresh. Make sure to get a reservation if you have a large party, also service can be pretty slow
E WSeptember 1, 2015
The fishsoup at the neighbour on the opposite of the street is better than the lobster soup here! Try it. Reykjavik fish restaurant.
Roberto ValentiNovember 4, 2013
This place is a must! The lobster soup is delicious and the place really gives you the feeling that you can't get more authentic ;-)
minJanuary 17, 2016
This tiny, hole-in-the-wall seafood place serves thick lobster soup with huge chunks of lobster and nice creamy broth.
Peter ChanNovember 9, 2012
Definitely try the lobster bisque if you want a nice hot soup on a cold day. You can skip the whale kebab unless you like steak with a fishy taste.
BunnykinsAugust 18, 2016
Soup was thin and tasted like celery. Actual pieces of lobster were nice (but few). I had much better lobster soup from a food truck in skaftafell. Basic fish at reasonable prices, a bit overhyped.
Hanna JohanssonJanuary 13, 2017
We recommend the grilled scallops and shrimps on a stick. I could eat that everyday!
Sándor DargóJune 12, 2013
It is said that the lobster soup is the best in the world. Indeed it was very tasty, but the best was the whale! Try it!!!
Oleksii AntonenkoJuly 12, 2017
Lobster soup, wolffish and shrimps are amazing. The prices are lower than usual in Iceland.
LauFebruary 4, 2015
Amazingly rich lobster soup, worth the value. Personally wouldn't recommend the skewers, my cod ones was too dry and bland, it's a bit charred too.
AndyApril 27, 2017
lobster soup is bomb - huge chunks of buttery soft lobster; lobster soup & scallop skewer combo for 2500kr
Mona WuMarch 27, 2014
White fish, shrimp and scallop kebabs are all delicious. Lobster soup is a must! Very reasonably priced.
Marius WatzApril 18, 2018
Excellent fresh fish on the docks, cozy and unassuming. The lobster soup, really.
Thomas HansenJuly 19, 2018
Fresh & High Quality Street Food in a small and cosy place. Excellent Lobster Soup. Authentic!
Michael WarkentinAugust 7, 2014
The lobster soup was incredible! Don't forget to sign the guest book!
Rayna O'NeilFebruary 9, 2017
The lobster soup is a must! It truly is outstanding.
Nejat Brohi Md.August 15, 2013
Only Japanese can beat them, either taste or pricez, and girls there is no rival against them in the whole world.
Duygu IscanJuly 6, 2013
Lobster soup is amazing! Mink whale is good, shrimps are delicious. Bur we had to wait for 2hours to eat!!
TaylorJanuary 22, 2014
Lobster soup. Grilled char. Enjoy. And read about the history of this place.
@sloaneJanuary 22, 2014
The lobster soup is as good as everyone says it is. Big chunks of lobster inside, delicious!
David HelgasonMay 28, 2010
The lobster soup is world class good and the minke whale (as well as horse and fish) served on sticks is just over the top — and illegal in many countries. Cosy, quaint ... and plastic cutlery only.
GeoffreyAugust 18, 2013
Great seafood, quite cheap (for island). Not very nice or comfy, though. Don't eat whale, for their sake...
