5 Best Restaurants in West Iceland and Snæfellsnes Peninsula, Iceland

This restaurant is located in the oldest section of Stykkishólmur inside a bright, airy building. The menu is full of local seafood, as well as lamb from the region. It's known locally as one of the nicest places around, and it definitely warrants a place on your "vacation splurge" itinerary.

As with any restaurant in a coastal town—and Sker is located right on the sea—fish is the way to go here. Travelers also come (and come back) to this restaurant for its broad menu, which ranges from seafood and pizza to vegan options.

If you want the best meal you can get in Hellissandur—and possibly the entire region—head to Viðvík. The catch of the day is always a good bet in Iceland, but treat yourself to the three-course chef's menu here—you won't be disappointed.

You'll get the best of land and sea at Galito, from burgers and cod to sushi and even pizza. There's something for everyone here, which is especially tempting in a region that isn't known for having a ton of restaurant options.
