I woul'd appreciate to have vegan food marked on the menu. But surprisingly- they had even vegan dessert! I ordered the falafel balls with something similar to baba ganoush (?) And apple pie. I loved the balls, they were really nice even to look at, red crust on the outside green inside. They tasted typically vegan and I just love it! But the Baba Ganoush (?) Tasted pretty much like yeast and I would not order it again if I had the oportunity. The apple pie though!!! It was like 99%apple 1%pie! Sweetie and simple. Really nice and I absolutely reccomend. Two waiters here are a little shy.

June 2024 What a missed opportunity to shine here. 😟 You'd think this lovely venue with full patio overlooking the snow capped mountains and Shaky Bay in Husavik would be a real contender for top notch seafood, but it really wasn't. 🤷 The tiger prawn skewers on the menu were medium shrimp with red onion and peppers thrown together for 30 bucks. The seafood soup was a few shrimp in a tomato based stock. No sign of any other seafood. 🤷 The chicken sandwich was mediocre. The gas stations had better sandwiches actually. And the fries were okay but nothing special. For $120 it was very disappointing since you'd think this ocean-based restaurant would want to have bragging rights in this area. The best part about this place is the outdoor patio overlooking stunning ocean and mountain views. And the staff are friendly and efficient. 🤷👎 It's better to just have a beer and good company here, not dinner.

All food ordered are delicious, ordered 1 prawn tacos with salsa served with big prawn and fresh and with a squeeze of lemon on top it is so flavourful and refreshing the portion is big as in photo, another dishes is Icelandic fish stew surprisingly taste good when you judge it with its looks served with piece of rye bread yumyum. The 3rd is a fish of the day they served cos fish on the particular day which tasted really special with the sauces which I do not know what sauces is that. The restaurant just located behind whale watching centre which walk down from the staircase beside it.

Great genuine nautical decor, and the location right on the harbor cannot be beat. Service was adequate in the typical Icelandic reserved way. The wine service was quite professional, except for the re-corking of our Pinot Noir after pouring. Nachos were really good with delicious taco chips (but not enough cheese). We had bacon cheeseburgers and the lamb burger, all of which were quite above average. The fries in particular were remarkably hot and just the right degree of crispiness. Recommended!

In the touristic town of Húsavik, specially known for its whale safaris and museum, Gamli Baukur restaurant is a really traditional restaurant (from the mid XIXth century, rebuilt in 1998) with a delicious menu. We appreciated mostly the fish of the day, the traditional soup and the even-better-than-the-original "Skyramisu" (obviously, Icelandic version of the Italian Tiramisu... i.e. including the unmissable Skyr 'yoghurt'). Definitely a restaurant you should enjoy when in the area.
