The daily menu here is just one soup and one main &mdash; today it was pumpkin curry and honestly it might be the best I&#39;ve had. Gluten-free bread was a nice bonus too.

The staff remembered my no-onion request without me repeating it. Even the sauce was safe. Food reminded me of my mom&#39;s cooking, honestly.

Stopped by for a late lunch and grabbed the blue cheese burger. Cooked properly, juicy enough that I didn&#39;t need much sauce. Pairing it with a cold beer worked well, though I could see a bold red doing the trick too. Place was a bit noisy but fine for a quick bite.

The staff really took their time explaining the daily specials in English, which I appreciated as a tourist. Food was solid, nothing mind-blowing but comforting.

Proper local pub with a solid happy hour. Music was good, place had a nice buzz. Prices felt fair for Iceland, which is saying something. Staff were friendly too.

The falafel avocado salad hit the spot. Fresh veggies, creamy avocado, and that yogurt on the side tied it together nicely. Light but filling. Place was a bit quiet for a weekday lunch, but that worked fine for me. I&#39;d come back for that salad again.

Burger and ribs combo &mdash; that&#39;s the move if you&#39;re torn. Ribs were solid, burger had good juice to it. Got my food quick, no waiting around. Staff was polite enough. Fine spot for a fast lunch when you don&#39;t want to think too hard about what to eat.

The vegan burger was okay but pretty basic&mdash;just cheese, lettuce, and sauce. Fries were the real winner though, super crispy.

The pizza was decent, fresh ingredients and a nice thin crust. Local beer on tap was a good pick too. Just wish the lighting was a bit brighter inside.

Smoked salmon bagel was solid, toasted just right. Good drink selection too. Prices fair for the neighborhood.

Went for the fish stew. That&rsquo;s it. Rich broth, tender chunks, proper seasoning. Ate it too fast, honestly. Didn&rsquo;t even look at the menu after that. If you&rsquo;re here, just order that and skip the rest. No need to think about it.

The Dottir pizza really hit the spot. Toppings were generous and the crust had that nice chew. I just wish I&#39;d gotten a bigger one, honestly. Left feeling full but already thinking about going back for another slice.

Stopped by for lunch and grabbed a seat by the window&mdash;that harbor view really makes the place. Had the fish stew, which was hearty and fresh. Service was quick but not pushy. Only thing is it got a bit busy around noon, but that&rsquo;s probably a good sign. Would come back for the atmosphere alone.

The chicken shawarma was solid and the fries were actually a decent portion for the price. Place is easy to walk past, but it&#39;s worth the stop if you&#39;re in the area.

The Turkish feta parcels were so good&mdash;crispy outside, soft and salty inside. We grabbed a table with friends and ended up sharing the meat board too, which was way more than we expected. Halloumi was solid as well. Service was friendly, not hovering. Place got a bit loud later but we didn&rsquo;t really mind 😅

Been coming here for a while now. Sandwiches are always fresh, and the staff actually remember how I like mine modified. Price is a bit steep for a sandwich, but the late-night hours keep me coming back.

Staff here actually remembers your order from last time. That kind of attention makes the whole meal feel easy.

The almond croissant here is seriously good&mdash;flaky, not too sweet, and the filling actually tastes like real almonds. I grabbed one before heading to the botanic garden and it hit the spot. Sandwiches looked solid too, though I didn&rsquo;t try one. Service was friendly, nothing fancy. Place is small but fine for a quick stop.
