This place is amazing! I’ve been here multiple times, and it never disappoints. The service is always great, the atmosphere is super cozy, and the food is incredible. The pizza is the best in Reykjavík, and the desserts are just perfect. I honestly love everything about this place—hope they keep it up!

Fantastic. We stopped in to have a coffee and get warm after a chilly walk to the lighthouse. The waiter suggested we take a look at the food menu, so glad he did, the tomato and basil soup was out of this world and the Oven-baked garlic focaccia was unreal. Great service and a lovely chilled out vibe. Don’t miss this place out.

Beautiful oceanside location & amazing pizza! We sat outside to watch the sunset, saw the lighthouse turn on, & listened to the waves - it was gorgeous! I got the margherita vegan pizza - flavorful & perfect. Very sweet of the staff to bring us blankets so it was extra cozy. Definitely a top favorite spot in Reykjavík, can’t wait to go back!

Our group went to visit the lighthouse last Monday, however poor timing had the tide covering the causeway out to it. We sought sanctuary from the strong winds in this restuarant. What a fabulous experience, the friendly welcome had us seated together upstairs in a private room. The food was some of the best we tasted during our trip in Iceland. Several had the daily offer of soup and sandwichs, which words don't do it justice. Tasty, warming and filling. I had two open sandwichs which were so flavoursome. The staff were very accommodating for our more discerning eaters, and changed food options for them. The idyllic atmosphere and views in a friendly environment made for a wonderful experience. Thank you to all the staff from the City of Lisburn group.

Exceptional food. Interesting ideas how can ingredients taste together. Camembert with strawberries?! Great choice!
Cozy atmosphere, friendly staff. If there is no table inside, you can sit in a lovely patio outside with heaters and blankets.
Amazing ocean view.
We’ve been there few times and definitely will be back again!
