Englendingavík — Restaurant in undefined

Dissapointing! Only the location is good and the girls in service.

Arrived on time for my reservation but the "owner" could not find it. I was forced to find and show the confirmation email. He did not seel to be happy with us. Maybe he does not like foreigners?

A very short menu. Nevermind, we were of positive spirit. We got some bread wuth butter but no plates... must be a thing to enhance communal spirit. We ordered seafood soup and cauliflower puffs. The seafood soup was a thick cream brown fluid. We tried to fish the few pieces of seafood. On top was a spoon full cream. Very old fashioned understanding of a fish soup. Heavy cream soup "velute" its a thing of the last century. The cauliflowers arrived brown from old frying oil. Too soft the inside too burned the outside.

Mains- fish "buffet" was steamed ling, some salmon, and mashed fish. Nothing really good. Other main was lamb shank. Very very salty drowned in a gravy. Even the mashed potatoes were salty.

How can they serve such food and survive as a business. Maybe the location, the decor and the vie saves them.

It is not worthy to waste your time eating there. Just have a drink there and enjoy the view.

I need to mention that the ladies working there as waitress were working very hard and tried their best to improve the dinning experience.

The "owner" was a grampy man, unfriendly and inappropriate in many ways. Food...

Despite a lovely view from our room and abundance of space it provided I wouldn't come back to this place for a B&B. Being in Iceland for 2 weeks and staying at a different place every single night, this one ranked last in my book.

The building is historic; built in 1890 something it features lovely wood flooring with large gaps to stub your toes in. 2 bathrooms on the main floor boasting 3 showers! Unfortunately one is out of order, the second leaks a good bit from the base of the shower hose and the 3rd is flawless.

Their is complimentary wifi that will load upto half of the runtime on your hilarious cat videos on YouTube.

The walls are nice and thin so you will enjoy the sounds of plates clattering and the conversations of your neighbors, or ramblings of some teenager speaking Latin and yelling about who won pictionary. Oh and the snoring when people decide to sleep!

Lastly we have the hot tub. While it is in fact a hot tub and their is a note saying to scrub yourself with soap in the shower before hand, I doubt this is fully observed. Their is still an abundance of "something" floating in the water. It looks like algae but it's grey and pasty, much like you would envision dead skin flakes of countless strangers. Like a big cauldron of people soup.

If you enjoy historic buildings, not soaking in a hot tub and hearing faint conversations you can't understand then this...

During our two-week trip in Iceland, almost every restaurant and café we visited was friendly and served great food. Unfortunately, this place was an exception, and we are leaving with an unpleasant memory.

On the first day, we walked in but were told they couldn't take us as a large group was expected — which we fully understood.

The next day, we made a reservation by email but didn’t receive a reply, so we followed up with a phone call around lunchtime and successfully booked a table.

When we arrived, our name had been written down incorrectly, but since the reservation was made by phone, we were understanding about it.

However, the tall male staff member who appeared to be a manager (not an older gentleman) looked serious and said, "We only accept Icelandic people, not foreigners." I was taken aback, and he then claimed it was a joke. My father was clearly upset by the remark, and the staff member went on to ask why he looked so serious — "Doesn’t he speak English?" — which was incredibly rude.

A joke is only a joke when it’s enjoyable for everyone. If the owner reads this, I strongly suggest proper training for the staff. If that man was the owner, it’s even more disappointing.

Isn’t tourism one of Iceland’s main sources of income? Then it would be wise to treat tourists with...
