Tjöruhúsið
A summer restaurant specialised in different fried fish dishes. The menu changes depending on the fishermen’s catch. The butter fried cod cheeks, or ‘gellur’, topped with parsley are divine. This buffet style restaurant is very popular and people travel from far to eat here – it’s worth booking a table in advance.
Heimabyggð
Heimabyggð is an environmentally conscious café in the heart of Ísafjörður. The café has a cheery and colourful charm to it that envelops you in the scent of newly baked bread, other baked goods and quality coffee from the moment you open the doors. The menu offers a variety of vegetarian and also vegan options.
Kaffihús Bakarans
This lovely bakery serves fresh bread and pastries for the people of Ísafjörður. Come for breakfast or have some to take away. We recommend ‘kleinur’, the traditional Icelandic pastries. ‘Kleina’ is like a knot shaped doughnut, without the sugary icing. Delicious! Another good choice is ‘vínarbrauð’, a long Danish pastry topped with jam and almond paste.
