    This honey-glazed, crispy and flavorful Arctic Char swimming in a juicy tomato posse is something I'll surely remember for years to come. Simply astounding! 💕

    If you're at Reykjavik, you should come to this place. I'm really impressed, the best fish I've eaten in my life. I'd come back if I would be in Iceland in the future! Amazing atmosphere!

    One of the best fish dishes I ever had in my life. I had arctic char in almond honey pan and it was food for Nordic gods.

    We were here twice, as it is just a fantastic place (especially for lunch, where you pay 50%)! We had a couple of dishes, go for the fish pans! If you need to choose: the Arctic char is delicious!

    It’s amazing seafood here in a hot pan 🥘. The lunch menu is almost the same as dinner but 50% cheaper. Definitely worth trying the ‘Arctic Char’ it has almonds + honey 🍯

    Best meal I've had in a long time. Arctic Char with almonds and honey is beyond, but everyone at the table was oohing and ahhing no matter what they ordered.

    Come here and try the cured salmon and house fish soup. If you don’t like it simply go to subway next time as your taste buds might be frozen. 🤓 Plokkfiskur is also well worth a try. 👍🏻👍🏿

    Favorite meal in Reykjavik. Fish skillet for 2100 Kr during lunch is great value in an expensive city. I preferred the Arctic char over the salmon.

    Amazing fish pans especially during the lunch hours for significantly less than in the evening.The arctic char was superb and the starters were also very delicious. Highly recommended.

    Delicious and balanced meal at a really good price! My favorite meal in Reykjavik! Plaise (fish) with cherry tomatoes, capers, potatoes and greens. Yummy!!! Boullabaise was delicious too!

    Artic cod was amazing and the fish burger was nice and moist just the way it should be. Would recommend a visit if you are looking for a not to expensive dinner.

    Note that I don't enjoy fish, but I don't normally seek it out. But this place... holy cow, I could eat here every night. The preparation on the fish is amazing.
