Restaurants and Cafés in Seyðisfjörður

Norð Austur sushi & bar is a part of Hótel Aldan , a family-run hotel in the peaceful and remote town of Seyðisfjörður only a few meters from the iconic Rainbowstreet and Blue Church. The resta urant is renowned for its delicious sushi and has been named the best sushi restaurant in the country. The restaurant, Norð Austur, is named after our beloved, unloving wind direction: North East. The restaurant uses only the freshest ingredients available at any given time, with the fish being caught locally by fishermen in the fjords. With respect for the raw materials and Japanese traditions, Norð Austur serves modern sushi alongside tasty beverages. The restaurant only operates during the summertime - which makes booking a table in advance recommended.

Skaftfell Bistró is located on the first floor of the Skaftfell Art Center, at Austurvegur 42, in Seyðisfjörður. The restaurant offers an innovative menu that reinterprets traditional Icelandic fare with an innovative twist. A section of the restaurant pays homage to the Swiss-German artist Dieter Roth, who lived and worked in Seyðsifjörður in the last decade of his life. In addition to original works by Roth, the restaurant also showcases the works of contemporary artists of East Iceland.  In keeping with principles of sustainability and respect for the natural environment, the Bistró's chefs work with locally-sourced fresh ingredients, celebrating the sea and land around us and supporting local farmers and fishermen, producers and procurers.
