2 Best Restaurants in Reyðarfjörður, East Iceland and the Eastfjords

There’s a good selection of quality bread and pastries at Sesam, an artisanal bakery in the middle of town that also serves coffee and cake. Each weekday there’s a good-value lunch special that’s popular with locals (Friday is pizza day).

Large portions of comfort food (think burgers, pizzas, and more expensive meat and fish dishes) are served under low timber ceilings at Tærgesen, a family-run restaurant and guesthouse located in a lovely old building dating back to 1870. Tærgesen was the filming location for the Midnight Sun Hotel in the British TV thriller Fortitude.
