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!

Members' reviews on INGÓLFSKÁLI - VIKING RESTAURANT
Meat and cheese board was good, the lamb was extremely smokey, even for smoked meat. All the cheeses were excellent.
I had the lamb entree and my wife had the duck and both were fantastic.
They have Viking gear available for you to try on if you’d like and the restrooms were very clean and well kept.
When we come back to Iceland and find ourselves in the area we will definitely be back.
We had the icelandic meat & cheese share plater. Few nuts & crackers, tasteless cheese, some horrible raw smoked lamb meat, cured horse was good though.
Then the main, smoked cod. Oh my.. I'm still wondering how they cooked the fish because that was one of the weirdest fish I ever had. Tasteless, weird texture, I could have eaten plastic, I won't be able to tell the difference.
I ran as soon as I finished.
