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!

Really unique Restaurant with an amazing ambience! We felt like we were dining with the vikings.
Easily the best food in iceland. Yes it is expensive, but damn, that food is extraordinary. Highly recommend

We had the viking feast, and the steak with its sauce stood out as extra delicious. But everything was really really good. Also loved the bread and mead.

Ist eine schöne Abwechslung zu all den anderen Möglichkeiten essen zu gehen. Mal etwas ganz anderes, sowohl vom Ambiente als auch von der Küche und Getränke.
Auf Grund des fehlenden Appetits sind wir beim Hauptgang geblieben, es war sehr lecker.
Empfehle allerdings das Menü zu Wählen mehrere Gänge hintereinander.
Ich persönlich konnte nicht feststellen, daß es hier vom Preis überhöht war, nicht viel anders als wo anders in Island. Wenn man allerdings eine Pizzeria damit vergleicht kommt es hin.

This is the most amazing restaurant we have eaten at our entire time in Iceland, and we have been here a long time!!! The owner served us, and he was the nicest person as well!!! We had caribou that the owner hunted himself, salmon that the owner fly fished himself, the most amazing smoked lamb, the duck leg that was so juicy and fell right off the bone, and a mead that went with everything. I feel like my life has been fulfilled after eating there. We found this place by accident and it ended up being the most amazing place I've ever been, and I am a well-traveled food snob!!! I felt it necessary to go out of my way to leave this place the most stellar review because each dish was absolute perfection!!!! Even the fermented shark was absolutely delicious!!!!! Thank you for the most wonderful experience!!!

Staff was very nice and the food great. But it was still a bit overpriced, even for Iceland.
