"Café Loki offers the traditional Lamb Soup. I had this soup on a cool fall evening and it was just what was needed to warm one from the inside out. With simple basic ingredients – lamb, onions, carrots, & potatoes – however well seasoned with herbs, the soup was so delicious."

"Yes, I did try the national dish, hákarl, fermented shark. It was very sharp, with a dense but fatty texture."

"Don’t forget about the hákarl and Brennevin! Fermented shark is not as disgusting as everyone says."

"The Café Loki Lunch Offer included Íslensk Kjötsúpa or Meat Soup. Of course it is made with the country’s meat: lamb. The bowl is hearty with turnips, potatoes, onions, carrots and celery. Perfect for winter in Iceland."

"Don’t let that scare you, though! Try hakarl yourself – it’s basically mandatory in Reykjavik, after all."

"The god of mischief ‘Loki’ also seems to make one of the best lamb soups I’ve ever tasted in Iceland!"

"This little restaurant was well known for their Icelandic Lamb Soup (kjötsúpa). It was actually much better than I thought it was going to be. Nice lamb flavor; pretty hearty, not too much meat, but it really warmed us up. I ended up going for half a second bowl."

"Hákarl, as it is known, is one of those cultural experience that all visitors to Iceland should try… even if it is a rare (non-Icelandic) person who will find the taste good."

"Very authentic taste - just the way it's supposed to be."
"It was a restaurant with really pleasant staff and with a great variety of Icelandic foods to try. Hakarl itself isn't tasty but the experience was good."
