Stúkuhúsið
$$
Fodor's choice
If you want to do yourself a favor, grab an outdoor table at Stúkuhúsið (assuming the weather is cooperating), order dinner, take in the views, and finish up with a slice of rhubarb pie. The food here is fresh and delicious, the service is friendly, and the desserts are the perfect ending to your day.
Tjöruhúsið
$$$
Fodor's choice
You never know exactly what the menu will be at the family-owned Tjöruhúsið, and for good reason: it all depends on what the local fishermen catch. You have your pick of two dinner seatings, at 7 pm and 9 pm (so don't be late), and three menu options—soup only, fish only, or fish and soup.
Vagninn
$$$
Fodor's choice
The first thing to know about this small-town, middle-of-nowhere restaurant is that you can get an amazing lamb burger. The second thing to know is that the best time to go is on weekends, when there's live music playing late into the night. There's no better way to get a real feel for the local community than when you're dancing among friendly strangers.
Einarshusid
$$
Located inside the hotel of the same name, this spot is beloved for its pizza. You'll love the friendly service and cozy furniture—there are sofas in place of more traditional chairs.
Hópið
$$
The menu at this casual restaurant favors burgers, pizza, seafood, and salads. The town of Tálknafjörður is a quick trip from Patreksfjörður and offers up stunning scenery—the best kind of side dish for your meal.
Husið
$$
Head to Old Town to dine at Husið, which offers a wide variety of menu options from burgers to seafood. They also offer brunch, which is not often found in the more remote areas of Iceland.
Malarkaffi
$$$
Serving locally sourced seafood and lamb dishes, Malarkaffi is also popular for its memorable location with a veranda that overlooks the surrounding fjord. Note that this restaurant is closed during the wintertime.
Restaurant Galdur
$$$
Located next to the Museum of Icelandic Witchcraft and Sorcery, Galdur is a counter-style restaurant that serves local dishes. It's a tad on the expensive side (even by Icelandic standards), but the dishes remain worth the price tag. You're not exactly spoiled for choice here, but this place would stand out even in Reykjavík.
