If you're looking for something to warm you after being in the cold, look no further.
This place offers 2 soups, 1 meat and 1 veggie and that's plenty.
Something so simple, yet super tasty.

The staff are really welcoming and the service/turnaround super speedy.

We had a veggie soup bowl and it was amazing.

Will be back before our trip ends!

We tried lamb soup and cauliflower soup. Both were so delicious. When you order the lamb soup you refill your bread bowl with cauliflower soup for free :)
Especially, service was amazing. There's a super cute waiter there, he is doing this job sincerely! Thanks for everything.
Definitely recommended!

As soon as I saw the soup in the bread I had to try it. It looks delicious. And it certainly is.
I had the vegetarian soup which was vegetable soup with mexican spice.

After I finished the soup I had a hot green tea.

The restaurant has a warm atmosphere.
The staff are very friendly and welcoming.

Overall I highly recommend.

First meal in Reykjavik and absolutely delicious. There was around a 8 person queue when we got there but the service was quick and we were in within 15 minutes. The prices were on the higher side (3.100 for a bowl) but it was such a nice and cozy experience it was well worth it.

The inside is snug and warmly lit, perfect for the winter evenings. The host/waiter was really friendly, warm, and jolly and made the dining experience a great one. You are able to get seconds on the soup so I got the try a bit of vegetable soup after my initial bowl of meat. Both delicious!
