Siglunes Guesthouse Restaurant

Top choice in Tröllaskagi


A refreshing surprise in this remote village, Moroccan chef Jaouad Hbib prepares delicious, from-scratch Moroccan cuisine for the wood-lined restaurant at Siglunes Guesthouse. Tajines sizzle with heat, both in the temperature and flavour sense, and starters are a well-conceived blend of delicate salads and exquisite homemade cheeses. Top it off with crème brûlée for dessert. Book ahead.
