A bold blue paint job announces this quality year-round option, where you can go radical
with pan-fried foal, fancy-pants with lobster tails, or safe with pizza and pasta. The spot-
light is shone on local produce - a good excuse to try Gæðingur, the locally microbrewed
beer.

This cafe has a more understated beige exterior and a crowd-pleasing menu. It's known for
its lobster and shrimp sandwich, filled crepes and warm rhubarb cake. In winter it's the
local pub (with live music), open only on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights.
MicroBar & Bed
BAR
( 467 3133;Aðalgata 19)
Cool mountain-peak graphics and vintage sofas set the scene at this excellent new addition
to Sauðárkrókur's main drag. From the same crowd behind Reykjavík's beloved booze bar
comes this convivial spot where local brews are on tap, plus loads more in bottles. Gæðin-
gur is the local draught pick: Indian Pale Ale, wheat beer or stout. Skál!
