Sjávarpakkhúsið
With an old charm still swooming from the past, dining at Sjávarpakkhúsið (the old fish-packing house) is truly an amazing experience. Located right by the harbour of Stykkishólmur since 1918, Sjávarpakkhúsið offers guests beautiful harbourfront outdoor seating in one of Iceland’s most magical places.
Delicious fish soup enjoyed while overlooking the ocean, freshly caught fish or blue-shell mussels from the surrounding seas, meals prepared from wonderfully flavourful, exceptionally lean lamb meat – perhaps with a glass of wine and some music – what could be more enjoyable on a mild summer night on an isolated island located in the North Atlantic Ocean?
As one guest put it:
“The almighty Icelandic god of awesome food has to be the owner of this restaurant.”

Plássið
Known for high-quality food, the chefs of restaurant Plássið make special efforts to find regional quality ingredients both in food and drink. Mussels and scallops are particularly popular, fresh right from Breiðafjörður bay.
While suitable for every family member, with various seating options inside and out on the veranda, larger groups are also welcome as the main room accommodates up to 50 guests.
Located right in the heart of Stykkishólmur, Plássið is named after the old downtown area, which was commonly known as “The Place” (Plássið) – but the current owners did a complete renovation between 2012-2013.
Offering excellent service, Plássið is open from May to November, but further information on opening hours and catering can be found on their website or Facebook page.
