Three kilometres west of Eyrarbakki on Rte 34 at the Ölfusá Bridge, this seafood restaurant sits on the water's edge in an ovoid building, with a beautiful arcing-wood interior. Even if you don’t get a table overlooking the ocean, the sweeping estuary views on the opposite side are equally impressive. The menu offers a small range of seafood and lamb.
