Description:
Perched on a fifth floor overlooking the harbor, this buzzing restaurant is better than the casual atmosphere suggests. Familiar dishes come with twists: béarnaise sauce on the beef tenderloin tastes of curry and coconut; lobster soup is flavored with cognac; and chocolate mousse comes with sesame crackers. Loopy combinations include monkfish wrapped in Parma ham with basil risotto and lime sauce, and trout with potato cubes and tangerine sorbet. Pizzas are excellent if you like thin crust, sharp tomato sauce, and lots of parm in the cheese mix. Service can be slow, but you can wait outside on the roof patio under a heat lamp.

Best food in Akureyri

The view, the service, the food and the presentation all fantastic. Wild goose with blueberry sauce, surf and turf sushi & mixed seafood dish were all superb. Well worth a visit.

We were very pleasantly surprised by this place. Delicious food in a casually swanky setting. I suspect views of the fjord are great during daylight hours. On a cold, snowy night,...
