The sign out front states "Best Fish & Chips in Town!" This title is completely undeserved. The batter on the fish was oily and mushy due to too low temperature frying. A very rookie mistake.The fish pieces were also broken, making for a very poor and unprofessional presentation. No crunch to be found anywhere! Flavor was also missingI had to layer the things with salt in order to coax any flavor at all out of them. I was stunned by the nearly 26 Euro price tag (as reflected on my credit card statement) on two pieces of cod and some chips and lettuce along with a thimble of tartar sauce. The server told me that this was standard Iceland pricing. Wrong again! This is, "never get food in the town center, souvenir and hotel district" pricing. We were also told that their cod was superior because it was fresh - never frozen. EVERY fish and chips joint makes this claim, and it's likely true. It's Iceland! But, if you want good fish and chips - better food, better service, and better staff attitude, choose pretty much any restaurant serving fish and chips for much, much better fish and chips at nearly one third less and 100% better! After sampling fish and chips from 5 different locations in town, this one came out to be our least favorite. Also, NEVER eat at a place that can't accept honest...

I recently had the pleasure of discovering 101 Bistro, and I must say, I am truly impressed! When I ordered their Pizza Margherita Napoletana for takeaway, I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly it was ready. But the best part was the taste - the pizza was simply delicious! Crispy, juicy, and with an authentic flavor that immediately captivated me.
On another occasion, I opted for their Fish and Chips, also for takeaway. And once again, I was not disappointed. The fish pieces were fresh, and the chips were crispy without being greasy. It was truly a delight to enjoy these treats.
What particularly impressed me was the consistency of quality with both orders. It's evident that the team at 101 Bistro places great emphasis on fresh ingredients and careful preparation. Additionally, the service was prompt and efficient, making the entire process even more enjoyable.
Overall, I highly recommend 101 Bistro. Whether you're craving delicious pizza or classic fish and chips, you won't be disappointed here. I'm already looking forward to trying more from their...
Read moreI had the fish and chips (take away) yesterday and was pleased with my meal. Good portion, tasty and hot when I collected and ate it back in my hotel room. So today after a long day on sightseeing tour I thought best to go somewhere tried & tested. I decided to try the lamb plate having read positive reviews. I was told 15 mins wait for takeaway, I collected promptly but had to ask for cutlery (considering the dish has rice I assumed it would be given/offered - yesterday I was given without asking cutlery with my fish and chips! ). From restaurant counter back into my hotel room it's less than 4mins (that's how close my hotel is) and I open my meal and it's COLD/LUKEWARM! The rice underneath the lamb is cold, 2-3 diced pieces of lamb were lukewarm and the rest all cold. The side of bread was cold and salad was limp... Honestly it felt like leftovers not something freshly prepared... I couldn't stomach it and ended up being sick. So disappointed tonight after a good experience yesterday and really truly wish I'd gone...
