In the south of Iceland, in the village of Ölfus, nestled under the imposing mountain Ingólfsfjall, is the Viking restaurant.

Nestled at the foot of the imposing Ingólfsfjall mountain in the south is the Viking restaurant Ingólfsskáli, which looks like it's straight out of an episode of Game of Thrones. It's a place where heritage and tradition come together to offer you an exceptional meal in a real longhouse with a grass-covered roof and a rustic, wooded interior. The atmosphere is warm and friendly, and the decor seems to have stepped out of another era. Named after Ingólfur Arnarson, Iceland's first settler, Ingólfsskáli will transport you back to the golden age of the Vikings, with hospitality renowned from generation to generation and an unusual culinary experience. Among other things, you can quench your thirst by drinking directly from a horn, eat with cutlery forged in the fire, and sample traditional Icelandic dishes prepared with top-quality local ingredients: lamb, smoked salmon, seasonal vegetables, seafood and other meats, the menu varies periodically to guarantee freshness. There's even a vegetarian menu for those who feel like a Viking but don't want to eat animal products. In short, everything is designed to give you the impression of being in the skin and life of a real Viking for the duration of a feast, and the result is a pure success. An unforgettable experience that we recommend you try on your trip to Iceland!

Unfortunately, the place I most wanted to try ended up being so disappointing due to the rowdy young men allowed to drink excessively at the bar. One stripped down to underwear to take photos with Viking gear. When we complained to waitress who stood and talked with them for 10 minutes while we waited for her, she said they were leaving. However, after some more time, they served them another pint each which they took outside ; let them take swords and axes to the earby target range. We asked to speak to the owner and we complained and told them how unsafe it was and inappropriate for children to witness. Plus one of them would have to drive drunk.
They were outside being reckless.
We offered to pay for little we had consumed so far but the owner told us we didn't have to. He apologized but didn't think they were responsible for the men's behavior. We said that they shouldn't have served them more beer and should have made them leave.
As we left, he followed us outside to range where the
Men were beating the target with something and he spoke to them... but we left.
I think that the food and atmosphere would have made for a special evening.....
This is something that can be monitored better for the good experiences of everyone.

I came here because I wanted to drink from a horn and enjoy a real Viking experience. We were surprised to find that on a Saturday night it was very slow and there was no entertainment. I was given a shot to drink from a horn, but nobody ever told me I could have ordered a beer that would have been served in a much larger horn. That would have been much preferred over a shot.

Fortunately, the lamb was absolutely delicious! I don’t have a lot of experience with lamb, but I’m willing to bet that future meals won’t compare to this one. It was so good that we also decided we must try dessert. I got the banana bread, which was kind of a let down.

Overall, I’m glad we came here. The staff is very friendly. I just wish they would have told us more about the place. Apparently they had some Viking gear that you could put on and take photos? Not sure if that’s true, because no one said.

visited start of February and ordered 2x lamb Fillets. One was of good quality and the other was not so great with a lot of fat. We informed the waitress and they were apologetic but did not offer a discount nor a new piece of lamb. The concept of the restaurant itself is great, there are also Viking helmets etc you can put on for photos. We drank an alcoholic beverage and a Coca Cola out of two Viking horns. Prices are as expected for Iceland. Would recommend for a unique Icelandic experience.
