Café Bryggjan in Grindavík is a charming harbor-side gem, serving up what many call Iceland’s finest lobster soup. This creamy, richly flavored dish, packed with tender langoustine chunks, is a must-try, perfectly complemented by their all-you-can-eat homemade rye bread. The cozy, nautical-themed café exudes authenticity, with friendly service and stunning views of fishing boats. At around 2000 ISK, the soup is a steal, especially with free refills. A delightful stop for a warm, soul-satisfying meal. Surely I will comeback someday.

Came here for lunch today as part of a HAL tour. The lamb soup was well past excellent! Gull beer and chocolate cake was a wonderful dessert.

Stopped in Grindavik August 8th after attempting to hike to the (by then, dormant) volcano. We were underprepared for the hike with the brisk wind and might have gone for it if the volcano was erupting. Anyway, we had some time to kill and found the Cafe which was great as others have noted. The hot dogs were an unexpected treat and others had a very ornate hot chocolate drink. The lack of hustle and bustle around the harbor in Grindavik was odd but the cafe, which must serve as a social center, was a wonderful take.

Charming place! Limited menu due to reopening after the eruption but they did it right. The Lobster Soup is amazing and unlimited. A few sandwich options and of course hotdogs! Help revitalize this cool little fishing town by stopping some place other than the Blue Lagoon.

We dropped by for lunch. Very friendly people at the counter. Soup was AMAZING. The lobster soup had pieces of lobster that melted in my mouth. The. Lamb soup was DA BOMB. I included a picture of all the lamb pieces in the soup. Absolutely recommend!

Delicious and authentic food. The lobster soup is a must have! Food is fresh, staff is nice. Plenty of seating. Restaurant is located in the third floor. Soup is self serve, and comes with bread and butter. Highly recommend for a non-touristy, authentic location.
