PAKKHÚS

The ground floor is a shop selling local products, the first floor is a pub to have a drink and a bite to eat but the real restaurant is on the second floor. The quantities are generous and hearty enough, as well as the plates nicely laid out. Modern Icelandic cuisine. A real treat!
KAFFI HORNIÐ

Potted herbs as cut flowers. A great setting!
