North Iceland - Iceland - page 544

Fosshótel is a growing hotel chain, and it plans to expand and renovate this hotel in 2015.
The dated standard rooms will undoubtedly benefit from a makeover, as will the restaurant
area. Stay tuned: Fosshótel renovations elsewhere in Iceland have had great results (prices
may increase as a result). The plan is to continue the decor's subtle whale theme.
Húsavík Cape Hotel HOTEL
( MAP GOOGLE MAP ; 463 3399; www.husavikhotel.com ; Laugarbrekka 16;s/d incl breakfast
Ikr28,500/31,350; )
A new boutique-y option in a former fish factory above the harbour, with plans for further
expansion. Fresh, modern rooms are a good size (some with bunks, for families), but sum-
mer prices are steep.
Eating
Fish & Chips FAST FOOD
( MAP GOOGLE MAP ; Hafnarstétt 19;fish & chips Ikr1500; 11.30am-8pm Jun-Aug)
Doing exactly what it says on the label, this small window-front place on the harbour doles
out good-value fish (usually cod) and chips, with a few picnic tables out front and a simple
seating area upstairs. To find it, walk down the stairs opposite the church, and turn left.
Heimabakarí Konditori BAKERY, CAFE
( MAP GOOGLE MAP ; Garðarsbraut 15; 7am-6pm Mon-Fri, to 4pm Sat & Sun)
Sells fresh bread, sandwiches and sugary cakes.
Naustið SEAFOOD
( MAP GOOGLE MAP ; Naustagarði 4;mains Ikr1700-3500; noon-10pm)
Quietly going about its business at the end of the harbour, sweetly rustic Naustið wins
praise for its super-fresh fish and a fun, simple concept: skewers of fish and vegetables,
grilled to order. There's also fish soup (natch), salmon and langoustine, plus homebaked
pie for dessert.
