3 Best Restaurants in Höfn, East Iceland and the Eastfjords

Íshúsið Pizzeria

$$$ Fodor's choice

The town's old icehouse, which was once a storeroom for glacier ice used to keep the local fresh catches cool, is now a popular harborside pizzeria serving up soups and salads but mainly stone-baked pizzas. You’ll find classic pizza toppings along with langoustine. There’s also lobster soup and cheese-filled breadsticks.

Pakkhús

$$$$ Fodor's choice

Based in an old warehouse made of scrap wood, Pakkhús makes good use of the area's supply of fresh seafood, especially the langoustine, which they are primarily known for (often referred to as 'lobster' in Iceland). Their menu also features duck, lamb, and beef, with some tempting desserts too. The créme bruleé flavored with licorice presents a tasty (and very Icelandic) twist.
