Good for a big group
Best season Year-round, in the evening. Hafnarfjörður is a short drive. You do not need a tour bus.
A Viking-themed restaurant and hotel in Hafnarfjörður, about a quarter-hour from downtown Reykjavík. The theme started in 1990. It is a show and a meal, not a Viking archaeological site.
Worth knowing
What it is
Go for a themed dinner. Do not go expecting a historic site. Address they publish: Víkingastræti 1–4. Feast nights are the busy product. Ask what is on.
With a group. The room is built for groups and feasts. Their site has described hundreds of seats. Book. It is not a drop-in counter.
The short version
The operators say an old house on the property was built in 1841 and was saved from demolition in the 1980s. Jóhannes Viðar Bjarnason bought the restaurant in 1990 and opened the Viking-themed room on 10 May that year. Viking feasts began in 1991. The décor is a choice. The longhouse is not a preserved hall from the 10th century.

Their menu talks about lamb and skyr and a feast with entertainment. Book if you want the feast. You can also just eat. It is not a quiet parish supper.
