2 Best Restaurants in Seyðisfjörður, East Iceland and the Eastfjords

The restaurant of Hotel Aldan is a lively spot for dinner, especially during the summer. The menu features a fusion of Icelandic cuisine with a dash of continental influence and is big on fish fresh from the fjord.

This is a charming place to dine, located in the same building as the Skaftfell Art Center and furnished in the spirit of the late artist Dieter Roth, a one-time Seyðisfjörður resident. The small menu is regularly updated and aims high, with great use of local ingredients. The opening hours can fluctuate so it pays to check their Facebook page, and be aware that the kitchen closes at 9 pm. In summer, it's open for a weekday lunch hour (noon to 1 pm).
