Le poisson du jour et le cabillaud étaient excellents, les accords sont parfaits. Mets raffinés. Les beignets faits minute sont parfaits. Je recommande vivement.
Natacha Da SilvaMarch 19, 2017
Icelandic traditional food, main courses are good but this restaurant is too overrated!! Cuisine traditionnelle Islandaise, bon pour un plat principal mais resto surcoté
Igor KalashnikovAugust 19, 2015
Очень вкусный рыбный суп, прекрасная морская щука (ling) - при этом хорошие для Исландии цены. Советую зайти.
Sergey SinMay 29, 2019
Великолепное место. Рыбный суп потрясающий, а зубатка просто божественная. Рекомендую
Alim AkpınarNovember 25, 2015
Kuzu çorba ve kuzu biftek
Sergey SinMay 25, 2019
Рыбный суп в сливочной заправке. Зубатка (catfish) - божественно.
Mariya KuzmenkoMay 13, 2016
Разочарование( откуда такая высокая оценка-ничего необычного не подают, два вида супов? Да их на каждом шагу полно. Уууу
Вадим ДончикJuly 11, 2018
Затишно і смачно. М'ясо, яке 12 годин тушкується - просто тане в роті
