Signed 'Gísli Eiríkur Helgi' and named after three brothers from a folk tale, this might just
be the perfect small-town cafe: decked out in timber, full of vintage bric-a-brac and mis-
matched china (it's owned by the folks behind the town's retro-chic hostel), and serving de-
licious fish soup and waffles with homemade jams.
The locals love it (understandably), and there's a bar area and small theatre out the back.
