Sægreifinn (The Sea Baron)
Sægreifinn
A rustic fish house by the Old Harbor, specializing in lobster soup and freshly grilled fish skewers, offering a casual dining style perfect for lunch or a quick bite.
A small seafood joint by the Old Harbor in Reykjavik, featuring a simple menu centered on lobster soup and freshly grilled fish skewers. Skewer options include blue ling, tusk, salmon, shrimp, wolffish, and vegetables, which can be mixed and matched to your liking. Diner reviews from 2026 still praise the soup and skewers. The shop closes for a break in the mid-afternoon, with closing times cited as either 16:00 or 17:00 depending on the source, so it is best to avoid this window. Earlier data showed the lobster soup paired with a salmon skewer and potato skewer was about 4,790 ISK, though current prices may be higher. Address records list both Geirsgata 4a and 8, both of which are at the Old Harbor and within walking distance of the city center.
Opening hours
Daily 11:30-16:00 (some sources say 17:00), 18:00-22:00
