    An absolute must on any trip to Iceland if you're into food! This beautiful restaurant is located right by the sea and offers not only a fantastic view, but also delicious local cuisine and excellent service. After trying most of the dishes on the menu, I can say that the food is definitely one of the best in Iceland! Many thanks to the chef and the service - we will definitely be back!

    We too stopped by on a stormy night, being the only spot open near where we were staying. What a delight! Our server was so much fun. The food was incredible- the regular chef was away and his sous chef did an excellent job. The mushroom soup was very good as was the lamb. We also tried the beer ice cream- very interesting and tasty. I would highly recommend a visit.

    MUST VISIT. Nothing, and I mean nothing, will top this experience from our trip to Iceland. The restaurant is intimate and in a beautiful location on the water. We met the head chef Nik who was so generous with his time and equally as generous with the passion poured into the meal. The quality of the tasting menu, the artistry, the creativity of the items on the menu was a luxurious experience we could expect in a super high end restaurant in a large city. We cannot thank him enough. This truly made our trip. Don’t miss out.

    EDIT: I went back later that day for dinner and the card was still very limited but that's no problem, fresh fish is always a good idea. I went for the vegan plate of the day, it was a very tasty beetroot 'cake'. This place is perfect if you want a fresh fish on your plate! The menu is really limited (fish of the day, soup of the day, a burger or a vegan option). I had the fish of the day and a mudslide cocktail. It was tasty and the waiter who served me was incredibly friendly.

    Great Icelandic restaurant. The food is cooked with love and the quality is great. We recommend the 3 course menu, where you can have an starter like the soup of the day, then the main course like the lamb of the day or fish of the day, and finally a tasty dessert. The staff is also kind and happy to help.

    On our trip to Iceland we stayed at the hotel near to this gem of a restaurant, where me and my wife ate one of the best catfish in our lives :) highly recommended!

    My wife and I stopped by here while passing through the area and were thoroughly impressed! The setting is beautiful and quaint, we loved it as soon as we spotted it coming down the road. The menu is very limited, but as is usually the case, a limited menu means everything is delicious - and it was! We had the seafood platter and the fish of the day and both enjoyed it so much! Would definitely recommend to anyone in the area!

    Amazing food, amazing atmosphere. It's our first and only Dinner out Here in iceland. Just wow. Try it out If you can. They also have local specialities as a starter so you can have a iceland food overview. (lamb menu in photo)

    Wow. We were staying nearby and wanted to grab a bite, so we stopped in because it's essentially the only restaurant in the village. Let me tell you, this would be worth going out of your way for. Even if you're not staying close by, do yourself a favor and come in - especially if you have a special occasion to celebrate. The atmosphere is so charming and the food is outstanding. The owner was very nice to talk with and had us laughing through dinner. Finish your meal with the beer ice cream (it's delicious even for a non beer drinker like me).

    An absolute gem, great people. "Delicious food" would be an understatement. I had the mushrooms soup & the lamb dish of the day. Soul food, nothing less 😊 Don't miss this place 😉 And, wow, the location! I mean!!! Is this even real??!! 😍

    This was one of our favorite stops while in Iceland. The seafood platter was excellent. The owner was very friendly and talked to us quite a bit about his restaurant and the area. A very quiet, small place that was in a beautiful location. Highly recommend.

    We found a very charming and cozy atmosphere in this restaurant. And the food is amazing ! We chose the menu with starter, main course and dessert, and we absolutely don't regret it. Everything was perfect. One of the unforgettable food experiences we had in Iceland.

    It was so good we ate there twice!! On our way to the beer spa we were starving. We stopped as it was about 15 minutes away from the spa. The food was delicious and the chef only cooks what’s available, local and fresh. We decided it was so good we would eat there again for dinner. For the carnivores if you are feeling adventurous I highly recommend the horse filet, magical. The chef and host were welcoming and just a please to meet.

    We stopped in here for an early lunch one morning and we both had the catch of the day. It was absolutely lovely. It’s nestled down a hill on the harbor of a small village. The window tables provide a great view of the harbor with a cute cozy interior. Definitely worth a stop if you like fresh fish. They also have a beer selection that’s unique from other places we stopped. Thank you to the friendly staff who fed us early!

    The food tastes great and is prepared with a lot of love. The location is very nice and you feel welcome. Anyone who loves good home-made food should eat at the Eyri. I can absolutely recommend it.

    The food was ridiculously good and the views are breathtaking. We had the pan-fried char and the sweet potato apricot mash was so good it was ordered for dessert as well. They change the menu all the time, so it may be different by the time you read this. But I have a strong sense you won’t be disappointed!

    What a unique restaurant! The view is unparalleled and there is a nearby playground for children. The food was great. It was my first time having fermented Greenland shark and horse. This was a serene experience.
