7 Best Restaurants in Westfjords, Iceland

This spot sources many of its ingredients from the surrounding fjord, offering an authentic taste of local life. This spot is often busy so call to book a table ahead of time.

You never know exactly what the menu will be at the family-owned Tjöruhúsið, and for good reason: it all depends on what the local fishermen catch. You have your pick of two dinner seatings, at 7 pm and 9 pm (so don't be late), and three menu options—soup only, fish only, or fish and soup.

The menu at this casual restaurant favors burgers, pizza, seafood, and salads. The town of Tálknafjörður is a quick trip from Patreksfjörður and offers up stunning scenery—the best kind of side dish for your meal.

Head to Old Town to dine at Husið, which offers a wide variety of menu options from burgers to seafood. They also offer brunch, which is not often found in the more remote areas of Iceland.

Serving locally sourced seafood and lamb dishes, Malarkaffi is also popular for its memorable location with a veranda that overlooks the surrounding fjord. Note that this restaurant is closed during the wintertime.

Located next to the Museum of Icelandic Witchcraft and Sorcery, Galdur is a counter-style restaurant that serves local dishes. It's a tad on the expensive side (even by Icelandic standards), but the dishes remain worth the price tag. You're not exactly spoiled for choice here, but this place would stand out even in Reykjavík.
