We've compiled the best of the best in Húsavík - browse our top choices for the top things to see or do during your stay.
The quiet enclave of Húsavík found worldwide fame in 2020 with the release of the Netflix film Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga, which told the dramatic tale of two Húsavík musicians who dream of winning the famous contest. Named after a song from the film, this theme café and bar pays homage to the hit in a delightfully cheesy manner.
This attractive old harborside restaurant made mainly of driftwood serves some of the heartiest meals in town, featuring a blend of burgers and pasta with an emphasis on seafood and traditional Icelandic dishes. It can get lively under the low beams of the nautical-inspired tavern, especially when there’s live music playing.
Built in 1883, this appealing old wooden building once housed the town’s first co-op and was the heart and soul of the community. It’s now home to a lovely restaurant, where its historic presence is augmented by a lively crowd of locals and tourists getting their fill. The big menu is packed with popular classics, including tacos, street food, pizzas, burgers, and seafood. The catch of the day is always delicious.
