Dunhagi delivers a true taste of the Westfjords. A beautifully restored historic house, with rough-hewn wood floors, comfy booths and vintage photographs, sets the scene for Icelandic lamb, trout fresh from the fjord, and seaweeds and salads picked from the neighbouring beach by the affable owner, Dagný herself.
