The best restaurants West

This hotel-restaurant is first and foremost a family farm with a warm and friendly staff. Over the years, the establishment has become completely self-sufficient in meat. The menu therefore depends directly on the animals raised on site. You'll be able to say hello to the cattle, which are not confined to pens as they roam freely. On the menu, delicious burgers: beef with brie and honey mustard sauce, grilled lamb and teriyaki, or vegetarian steak... You can also sleep on site.

The owner is particularly welcoming and the food delicious, with a special mention for the desserts, which are more than succulent. Beware, though, that this place is sometimes a victim of its own success.

A small black-and-white house on the harbor that immediately catches the eye. Inside, you'll find a warm, subdued atmosphere, and a menu of tasty, exquisite seafood dishes (mussels, scallops, crab soup, bouillabaisse...). Wonderfully presented, the dishes are truly delicious, the fish fresh, the flavors exquisite... We love the fusion cuisine inspiration with the addition of wasabi to various sweet and savory recipes. Of course, the budget is rather high, but remains average.

An unpretentious little café that's still a great option, just a stone's throw from some of the finest views of the harbor, all at prices that are more than reasonable for the place AND the country. Hamburgers, salads, fish & chips, hot drinks, waffles... Come for a more or less well-balanced break before setting off on your assault on the peninsula, or at the start/finish of the hike to Hellnar. Our tip: the soup is incredible, and it's even better eaten on the terrace when the sun is out.

The lamb is to die for - we recommend it!

Opened a few years ago, this restaurant was built on the edge of Route 574, not far from the campground. Inside, the atmosphere is sober but warm. The restaurant provides a warm, invigorating shelter when the aquilon blows in, or when returning from a hike to Snaefellsjökull. The dishes (seafood, meat...) are generally well presented and of the highest quality, a feast for the eyes and the taste buds! To warm you up, try the excellent fish soup. And to top it all off, the welcome is just right.

Opened in May 2018, this cosy establishment with friendly staff is owned by a fishing family from Rif, so the fish on the menu comes from the family's fishing nets.

The decoration is friendly and the staff are pleasant. A good address that offers excellent value for money.
