4 Best Restaurants in West Iceland and Snæfellsnes Peninsula, Iceland

Sjávarpakkhúsið

$$$ Fodor's choice
The fresh catch of the day, sourced from local fishermen, is a crowd pleaser at Sjávarpakkhúsið. Come early for a meal at this popular spot; dinnertime can get crowded with locals enjoying the view of Stykkishólmur harbor.

Sker

$$$ Fodor's choice

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.

Galito

$$$

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.

Reks

$$$

With burgers, salads, and seafood, the menu covers a lot of ground at this fjord-adjacent restaurant. Given its central locale, this is a popular place for locals and visitors settling down from a long day of whale-watching tours, so book ahead if possible. And don’t miss out on the chocolate cake.
