Tryggvaskáli

My favorite place in Selfoss! This is my second visit because of the great experience I had last time. We came for Saturday lunch, but they were only serving the brunch menu, which had limited options. However, the food was absolutely delicious. The combination of steak, eggs, sauces, and bread was well-balanced and perfectly cooked. The chips were also very tasty. Although the service was just okay, the food alone makes it worth a visit.

Very nice historic restaurant that is in the first house in Selfoss. There are traditional Icelandic dishes as well as some good vegan options. It is a good place if you are celebrating or looking for a fancy dinner restaurant.

Got to try the Whale starter as well as the cod and a couple cocktails. Everything was cooked to perfection and service was also excellent. Highly recommend if you're visiting or passing through Selfoss

A stunning meal in a cozy comfortable historic building with a great view of Selfoss. The lobster soup was creamy but light and I adored the serving presentation. The grilled whale cannot be skipped, it was the culinary highlight of my LIFE. I was hesitant because you know, whales are so cool, but my god it was the best thing I've ever eaten. So tender, flavorful, and unique. The salmon and cod dishes were ingeniously curated. We ate every bite. The rhubarb dessert made me want to lick the plate. Local produce was showcased so well. Even the bread and cocktails were out of this world. If you're passing through Selfoss, I can't recommend Tryggvaskáli enough.

Fantastic food - I love their steaks, tenderloins and desserts. Service is top notch, cutlery is clean, music is not too loud and chairs/sofas are very comfortable. I tried few drinks over some extended period of time and all of them were really tasty.

Wow, wow, wow – absolutely amazing! I’m finishing my trip in Iceland, and after visiting so many restaurants, I can honestly say this is by far the best one I’ve been to! ❤️ The atmosphere is unique, set in a beautiful house that looks stunning inside and out. The food, the vibes, and the whole experience were simply unforgettable. Highly recommended!

The whale was fantastic! If you’re in the area, don’t miss this place. Great steak, good dessert, good service, fairly pricey, but compared to other options it’s worth it. Atmosphere was also very nice.

I used to be skeptical of Google Maps reviews, which is why I rarely share my own. However, this place is truly exceptional! Every dish is delicious, perfectly crafted, and unique. From the whale and lobster soup to the cod fish, lamb, and salted caramel mousse – each surpassed our expectations. We're thrilled to have discovered this gem and believe it deserves a Michelin star. Highly recommended!
