Iceland needs more of this!!! A viking “renaissance fair” experience would be awesome to visit. Iceland capitalize on your amazing traditions. If you build it we will come. Imagine a functioning Viking Village , wear you can dress up and live for a few days. It would be the ultimate tourist trap. Skol 🍺
His shirt is covered with tex. The old language that is actually based on the "wheel of time". We commonly know the tex as Phoenician/Finnisian/Frisian. Which was the first world language. The place the language originated from is actually called Texlandia. Jan Ott's channel called "Oera Linda" does a very good job of talking about this language. We get phrases like "spokesman" and "text" from this language as well. ( if you visualize a wagon wheel, and then divide the wheel into 4/8/12 parts and draw lines between those divisions to form letters, that is basically the crux of it). The language then was used by the classic greeks, etc. and is almost inseparable from modern Finnish. So, yes the Fresians migrated to Iceland way back when. We don't heat about them bcuz they lost the war against William of Orange. ( History written by victors and all that jazz).
That restaurant was a highlight to our visit in Iceland. Everything was delicious! The atmosphere, the background music the service, the food was an experience we are SO glad we did not miss. We met Gunnar and he would also provide additional info. It was great!!!
This looks AMAZING! This would be the ultimate "indoor" experience for a first-time visitor to Iceland. I'm heading to Iceland soon and will be trying to squeeze in a reservation!
Yep, another must-do for a winter Iceland trip! They'll soon be offering their famous Christmas Buffet which is very common at Iceland restaurants in December. A little different from their regular menu but super delicious as always! Book your table here: ingolfsskali.is/
Am just writing an article for the Viking Herald about this restaurant and this video gives a perfect taste of what it's like to visit, thank you very much!
We Icelandic locals will finally have the opportunity, later this summer, to visit the main tourist spots. For a number of years Icelanders have avoided the tourist hot spots like the plague, they have been swamped with US, European and Asian tourists!
Super video and super place!! I stayed at a nearby lodge and in my quarantine hours Gunnar delivered my meal to me!!! Over my three week visit I dined here three times and drove quite far to do so. Even brought an Icelander whom had never been and she loved it. Such beautiful and genuine intentions in the experience and the food. The lamb was my favorite other than the bites of freshly caught salmon. Best lamb and best salmon I have ever eaten. It is a must on any visit and will be back in October this year. So good that people hear about this gem of a place 💙
This looks amazing. We are going on our third Icelandic road trip in January and this is definitely being added to the itinerary. Each year I go I get surprised by something new and this is one of those moments!
We loved our meal at Ingolsskali! Your video just makes me want to come back. We didn’t partake of the outside sports, it was day #1, we were soooo jet lagged and it was super windy but it looked fun. The food was amazing and we felt like Vikings inside. It is pricey, but all food in Iceland is.
Beautiful restaurant. I'm very sad to say but most of restaurants in 🇺🇲 are dirty with the exception of extremely pricey places . It seems , in Iceland all restaurants are very clean even the one with lower prices. Nice
I love this video i seen several times this in 1 day :) you know you refresh (Hostel)movie picturized in Iceland also from this viking longhouse restaurant very interesting video clip very awesome and professional camera work I really appreciate you,
We went and after dinner asked about the ax throwing. They wanted $15 per person to throw an ax. For our party of five $75 seemed steep to just play around, even for Iceland standards. Wish we knew this in advance.
Jeannie, Thank you for sharing this amazing experience. I’m traveling to Iceland end of this month and would like to add this restaurant experience into my itinerary. Do you know how much is the cost for a table for two?
That was such a great authentic place to visit and just beautiful! Have you been to Gjain and have you taken the Lost Fjords Tour? If so, what is your opinion of both? Thanks so much and I am loving your channel and feel I’ll be ready for Iceland when we go! 😊
I had read on another website about there being Viking festivals in June. Is there list of festivals, reenactments, and historic places to go to in Iceland? I was looking to go in July.
The Viking Festival in Reykjavik was held in early July last year (einherjar.is), not sure yet when it will be in 2023. In North Iceland there is also Medieval Days (www.minjasafnid.is/is/gasir?d=3&m=forsida) and their festival will probably be July 14 - 17 yet dates aren't announced yet. And, if you're headed east, the Viking Village film set is right near Stokksnes and Vestrahorn - fair warning: the viking village was intended to be a filming location several years ago, it is NOT a real viking village.
I've booked here for our trip but not 100% sure if we're going to go or not.. the cost is about £300 for us as a family of 5 to go... which is a crazy amount for dinner... I know iceland is expensive for food but that's a lot of money for dinner.
LOVED learning about this place and am including it on my plans for my trip to Iceland in June. One question, though... I can only find information about dinner over there. How can I book or how does it work for me to go axe throwing?
Hi Barbara, We are working on updating our website with more information about the activities. If you make a reservation for dinner and want to go axe throwing as well just put a note in the comment section on the reservation. A full game of axe throwing takes about 30 min. Please note that all activities Kind regards, Ingólfsskáli
I have booked this for when I visit, we will be staying as foss hotel in Reykjavik, what’s the best way to get to the restaurant? Also will we be able to pay by card? Any information would be great thank you!
Hi Sophie! Thanks for the comment! The best way to get to Ingólfsskáli is to drive. It is about 45 minutes from Reykjavík. You may also take a taxi or Uber but the fare will be quite expensive since it is so far away. I highly recommend renting a car for the duration of your trip so that you can see all the natural beauty of Iceland, most of which is outside of Reykjavík.

Hi Agnieszka, the weekends are reserved for booking group events (weddings, corporate events etc.), and almost all weekends are booked with something. This is why we don't advertise regular opening hours beyond Mon-Thurs. However, if we don't have any events booked on the weekends we make reservations available through our website, but only about a week in advance or so, so you will have to keep an eye out for this. We do hope you'll find the time to visit us someday :) Kind regards, Ingólfsskáli
I am sorry but the fermented shark never got to my mouth, because it didn’t pass the smell test….My nose said, “don’t you dare put that in you mouth”. Definitely caused a gag reflex….
Amazing video. Thanks for the tips! Leave us even more excited about our next trip! We are going at the end of April... 😱 Can you say to me if the activities outside its included in the price? And the prices of the beer in horn? Thanks ❤️🍻
A full game of the activities are not included in the price of the dinner, they will be charged separately. But if we are in a good mood and have some spare time we often allow people to test their viking skills and throw an axe once or twice :). Beer in a horn is just the same price as a same size regular beer (0,5l).
How the restaurants stay open ? There is never people there 🤔well I jump my gun . This is the most people I saw so far in restaurants in Iceland ( on the video 😢 only)
Yes it's available on two tours with Reykjavík Outventure. Check out: www.reykjavikout.is/tours/volcanic-south-coast-glacier-hike/ or www.reykjavikout.is/tours/amazing-south-coast-experience-with-a-local-guide-food/

Johnny There is an annual Viking festival in HAFNARFJÖRÐUR. This year it’s in June.
Livsnjutare Hope a certain pretty axe-throwing lady can visit said fair for us. Hint hint... 😏
They do this at L'anse aux Meadows in Newfoundland and there was barely a settlement there lol, it is more legit to build this in Iceland.

If you go to Stockholm visit Skansen is not quite viking, but it is old Sweden.

That seems like a great place to have a wedding
agreed, just need someone to marry! lol
It would be the ultimate wedding site.
This place is WONDERFUL! I loved the food and experience.
Okay, it's on the "must go to" list next time in Iceland...

Thanks for sharing, Richard! If you can fit it into your itinerary, I ALWAYS recommend dining at Ingólfsskáli, it's such an experience!
After 2 years of planning and watching lots of your video, finally we are in Iceland for a 10 day holiday, Want to say a big Thank you !
Awesome!!! So glad you were able to use them to help you plan! Love hearing that!

The place is so cool hope to meet an Icelandic man on my visit next year and we take our simple wedding to that place
Me and my wife plan on someday going back to Iceland and this place will definitely be a stop!!😀
A fun day doing weapon sort of things.....super fun! Love the long house
I would love to go to the Viking restaurant, I’m actually going to be in Iceland on December 27 for a week and a half. This would be awesome!
Reservations are required! Go to their website to book your table: ingolfsskali.is/
@@IcelandwithaView I already booked my reservation!
That was bada**!!! Woah! I'd love to experience that. Closest I get is the renaissance festival. Now for ice dragons!
Definitely going to be one of my top ten places to visit 👍🏻 Nice job with the axe 🪓 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Why didn't you do this video befoore! I was in Iceland 2 months ago and didn't about it :(
Congrats for the video! Very beautiful and complete!

Wow I didn't know about this, thank you! I will definitely add this to my itinerary :D
A win for those of us who hate washing windows.
I must say this is a very well made video
Oh don’t forget to try the Icelandic hot dogs…They are the best hot dogs I have ever eaten…anywhere!
Beautiful restaurant. I'm very sad to say but most of restaurants in 🇺🇲 are dirty with the exception of extremely pricey places . It seems , in Iceland all restaurants are very clean even the one with lower prices. Nice
I am definitely go inside and scream „ODIN“ and „THOR“ like a Viking tv series😂
Aw man, we were meant to dine there last week. There was a snow storm so they closed for the night. Perhaps next time!
I love this video i seen several times this in 1 day :) you know you refresh (Hostel)movie picturized in Iceland also from this viking longhouse restaurant very interesting video clip very awesome and professional camera work I really appreciate you,
Thank you!
We were near there and never knew. Motivation to return!
On my "Bucket list."
Im headed to Iceland this weekend, I will certainly look this place up, if its not closed due to the pandemic.
Nice 💯

I've had my drone for a few years now! But this was shot in October :)
The restaurant owner sounds like someone from northern Scotland
U guys kick ass

This place was on my list for my trip this September. Trip didn't happen because Americans aren't allowed in currently. Thanks, covid...😢😢😢

You overproduced the restaurant part - too much music
You show the food up tell nothing about it. That’s really a shame!
WHERE IS THE MEAT!!!!!!! awesome setting but I bet you pay like 3000 euro for a small piece of carrot wrapped in bacon or something. Nothing viking about that...
You know Viking was what you did, and not something you were... foreigners.
Great video
Thanks for watching!
We have 24 hours and follow Odin- Norse pagan and want to connect to this place on our way to Scotland 🏴
This restaurant is one of my absolute favorite places in Iceland!
Vikings didnt have forks to eat with 7:34
Fair point 🤣
