( MAP GOOGLE MAP ; 456 5555;Hrannargata 2;mains Ikr1290-2990; 11am-10pm Sun-Thu, to
1am Fri & Sat; )
Sidle up to the varnished, rough-hewn wood tables inside this tin-clad house, or kick back
on the sunny terrace for scrumptious, relaxed meals or local beer on tap. Groovy tunes
play as hip staff sling soup, sandwiches, burgers, pizza and Icelandic staples such as lamb.
It's a fun hang-out regardless of what you're up to, and there are occasional DJs and live
music.
Tjöruhúsið SEAFOOD
( GOOGLE MAP ; 456 4419;Neðstakaupstaður 1;mains Ikr2500-5000; noon-2pm & 6.30-10pm
Jun-Sep, reduced hours Oct-May)
The warm and rustic restaurant next to the heritage museum offers some of the best sea-
food around. Go for the plokkfiskur (flaked fish, potatoes and onions), or try the catch of
the day, fresh off the boat from the harbour down the street.
Edinborg CAFE
( MAP GOOGLE MAP ; 456 8335;Aðalstræti 7;mains Ikr2000-3500; 11.30am-10pm Jun-Aug,
noon-9pm Sep-May; )
In the same building as the tourist office, this relaxed spot attracts travellers who stop by
for beer or coffee on the sunny patio. The house bread is made with a special recipe that
incorporates beer. The owners also run Núpur Guesthouse , a couple of fjords south.
Thai Koon THAI
( MAP GOOGLE MAP ; Hafnarstræti 9, Neisti Centre;mains Ikr1690-1890; 11.30am-10pm Mon-Fri,
noon-10pm Sat, 5-10pm Sun)
After a stretch of limited food options in remote Iceland, this small Thai canteen seems de-
cidedly exotic. There's no grand ambience but the curries and noodles are reliably tasty
and served up in heaping portions.
