Gamla Kaupfelagid - Akranes

We dropped in after hearing about this place from friends. We were made to feel very welcome as soon as we came in and given details about the menu and specials. We both had the daily special, which was very nice, with a salad buffet and optional soup and coffee. Everything tasted very nice, I tried the soup which was very well seasoned. The staff was very friendly and the establishment very cosy. We’ll definitely return!

Due to blizzard conditions we had to take a detour and what a gem we found! The drive, the tunnel, the countryside was enough to fulfill an other-wards disappointing trek. This restaurant did not disappoint, great service and the food was meticulous. Rare to find the passion that went into the details of every dish. Highly recommend anything on the menu. The service was spot on.

We have visited Iceland before and so one of the days on this visit, we took a route less travelled towards Akranes. We were amazed to come across this superb restaurant. Not only was the food of the highest quality, a warm and welcoming atmosphere but also the person who served us was so helpful and answered many of our questions about life in Iceland. She as passionate about her culture and so very interesting. She even gave us some typical Iceland 'delicacies ' to try such as dried fish with butter and sheep head. It was more than just a dining experience. I cannot recommend it enough and hope to visit again one day.

Wow! A truly excellent meal at a very reasonable price. Full of locals. Always a good sign. Better than many higher class eateries in UK, like the Ivy, this food was better. We were getting fleeced in Reykjavik for eating out, then you travel out, through the tunnel to a small town with 7000 people (first inhabited by the Irish) and find a lovely people so polite and friendly, Joseph, Selma, really looked after us. My wife's 50th. Big gamble but really pleased we did it. Northern lights are better here too!

In Akranes, this restaurant is very charming and characteristic, offers good quality food and nice service with soft music and romantic atmosphere. The dishes are very good and fine prepared, local traditional meal is very tasty. Fish or meat meal, it's up to you, everything is excellent. Try the lobster soup, it's Must!
