Rub23 — Restaurant in Akureyrarbær

Service: Quick waiting time, and they serve free popcorn with a really unique seasoning (which I LOVED)! Staff served well, but it did feel quite cold (atmosphere and temperature)

Salmon: this was by far the best salmon I’ve had in my life. The fish was well-seasoned, and the meat was tender, soft and moist inside, and consistent through the fish until the skin, which was crispy and had a great bite. The mashed potato and vegetables it was served with was also really tasty and complemented the salmon really well. Serving of salmon was also quite a bit (for me at least!)

Lamb: my husband had this and I had taken a bite. Not a taste we are particularly familiar with, but I found the meat tender, with the taste of the grill really yums on the meat! It didn’t taste too gamey either. Wish we tried the steak!

Sushi pizza (not pictured): we had had this as an appetiser - a nori and rice base, deep fried in a tempura batter, and topped with a sashimi dressing. This was my second favourite after the salmon! The tangy of the sashimi with the base of the crunch went so so well together.

Surf and turf (not pictured): i can’t eat lobsters, but my husband loved it. He’s not the most expressive… but he says “tastes good!”

Tips: Make a reservation if you can, but if not, it wouldn’t hurt to try anyway! We didn’t make a reservation, but managed to get seats (tho we were only a table for two), but the restaurant was almost full house...

Upscale restaurant in downtown Akureyri. Reservationa are recommended. The atmosphere was pleasant, the service was attentive and great. The prices were a bit higher than other restaurants, but reasonable considering the exceptional food and fine dining experience. We ordered the tasting menu which consisted of a six course feast. It was a great value for the quality of food. Everything was first class, we really enjoyed the dinner.

Delicious, but overpriced.

The restaurant seems most popular for its Sushi variations, which come at their very bold price. Sushi taste very good, but en par with typical sushi variations served by a good running sushi as we have several in Germany.

As a starter I had 4 langoustine tails (for whopping 3600kr) and the seafood plate (5500kr) for main course. The latter contained 4 or 5 smaller pieces of mixed fish fillets which tasted very good and were on the point.

As a (fishing) town right on the sea side, the usage of Fresh fish is self explanatory and thus should need no overly verbose advertisement.

The ambience and people where offish but friendly and attentive. Came on the early evening and got a table without reservation. ( restaurant was approx....
