Three kilometres west of Eyrarbakki on Rte 34, this seafood restaurant sits on the water's
edge in an ovoid building, with a beautiful arcing-wood interior. Even if you don't get a
table overlooking the ocean, the sweeping estuary views on the opposite side are equally
impressive.

Stokkseyri
pop 460
Stokkseyri can seem like Eyrarbakki's twin to the east, but it's not. Although it, too, is a
small fishing village, it has a fun dose of quirky sites and summer art galleries, that make
it an entertaining high-season stop.
Sights & Activities
The summer art galleries all cluster around the central square and restored warehouse, on
the south side of Rte 33 (called Hásteinsvegur/Eyrarbraut in town).
