3 Best Restaurants in Seyðisfjörður, East Iceland and the Eastfjords

Winning high-pedigree accolades for its food that creatively fuses fresh local fish with Japanese techniques and flavors, Norð Austur is worth booking ahead for. It is open in the summer only and is in high demand for its beautifully presented morsels, creative cocktails, and cozy atmosphere.

The house restaurant of Hotel Aldan is a lively spot for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, especially during the summer. The menu features a fusion of Icelandic cuisine with a bit of continental influence and is big on fish fresh from the fjord. 

Pizza dominates the menu at Bistro Skaftfell, a charming place to dine located in the same building as the Skaftfell Art Center and furnished in the spirit of the late artist Dieter Roth, the art icon of Seyðisfjörður. The regularly updated menu also features soups, brownies, and cakes. The bistro closes at 9 pm—book ahead for large parties.
