The 20 Best Restaurants in Reykjavík, Iceland | Eater

"Open since 1989 on a quiet downtown side street, Þrir Frakkar is where visitors and locals come for classic Icelandic dishes. Skip the gimmicky puffin breast, whale sashimi, and fermented shark, and opt instead for the homier hashed fish with black bread or cod tongue gratin." - Nicholas Gill

Great experience and delicious food. Highly recommend the puffin, horse steak, and house dessert; especially the horse steak is extraordinarily amazing, tender, juicy, and tasty. Remember to check and pay for parking nearby when parking in front of the restaurant to avoid getting a parking ticket.

We've visited the place based on friends recommendations. I booked a table online same day just 30 minutes before and had no issues picking out a time slot. They serve various local delicacies that you can't really find in the United States. For appetizers we had smoked puffin breast and wale sashimi. If you would give me a blind taste I probably would have been lost guessing the type of meat im tasting. The puffing was moist for the smoked meats im used to and very tender. They serve soy sause, wasabi and pickle ginger with wale sashimi, along with a couple of slices of raw fish and caviar on top. In my opinion that's wrong because the wale is a mammal just like a cow and mixing these two on your palate is a no-no in my book. The soy sauce was not complimenting the wale in my opinion. For the .main house we had an arctic char, halibut, fish and chips and I've ordered a horse tenderloin steak. Fish and chips was unremarkable, char had very mild flavor, and was extremely tender. I have not tasted the halibut, but my wife and daughter said it was great. I enjoyed the horse steak very much. It was cooked per chefs recommendation and was juicy and tender. And baked potato that accompanied it was probably the best I've ever tasted. The service was very good, prompt and accommodating. I would definitely go back to taste more different dishes. The place is cozy and very tite, at least in the room we were sitting - not very good for large people wearing bulky winter clothes.

Great traditional Icelandic food. Maybe not for everyone’s taste, but we decided to try puffin meat and whale here — both were prepared beautifully. The flavours were rich, the presentation elegant, and it was a unique culinary experience worth trying at least once.

Traditional Icelandic food in a homey and warm setting. Service was a tad slow but friendly! We enjoyed the mussels and cod with langoustine sauce. Reasonably priced for the portions/drinks compared to other Icelandic meals :)

It was average at best. There was no bread basket while waiting for our starter. The whale sashimi was poorly sliced and I didn’t like how it tastes. The smoked puffin breast was not too bad, smoky and lean but the portion was very small. The horse tenderloin was OK - it wasn’t rested enough before serving hence the juice was coming out, salad that came with it looks a bit messy. Overall I’m happy to be here but I wouldn’t come back.

Absolutely fantastic. Easy to get to but slightly off the beaten track in a quiet residential neighborhood. The traditional Icelandic dishes were each well prepared and offered a unique taste of Icelandic culture, past and present. Some may have personal objections to certain dishes. If you choose to pass on a dish, you do you, but I do recommend taking the opportunity to taste the history of Iceland. Order multiple items for the table and share to get a taste of the delights. Definitely make reservations, relax, take your time, and enjoy an incredible feast.

Soups were not very good. Only mushroom soup was pretty tasty. Salmon and French onion soups needed some sugar. We tried whale and puffin. The sashimi whale was okay. Could have been less bloody. Puffin was also 3/5. Fishy chicken. Overall, strong 3/5.

One of the rare places which serve whale sashimi and smoked puffin meat! Exotic stuff! They even had horse steak… So if you want exotic stuff from this side of the world, drop in to sample them. The rest are standard fare, and I think there was a hiccup that day, as our table was skipped the offer for bread and butter… :(
