2 Best Restaurants in Hólmavík, Westfjords

Set in a house so old that the village was actually built around it, calling Café Riis a local institution is putting it mildly. The restaurant is very popular with the locals and specials include langoustine pizza and braised cod cheeks, along with plenty of witchcraft-theme local microbrews. Its cozy interior gives it the feeling of a family holiday cabin, but don't let that fool you, as Café Riis seats up to 80 people in summer and can be booked for events and gatherings. 

Located next to the Museum of Icelandic Witchcraft and Sorcery, Galdur is a counter-style restaurant that serves local dishes like baked cod and lamb stew. You're not exactly spoiled for choice in Hólmavík, but despite the simple menu and a casual setting, it is still a solid eatery.
