OUR HAPPY CUSTOMERS:
"Lovely fine dining restaurant"
Lovely fine dining restaurant in a beautiful sea shore location well worth the 30 minute drive from Akureyri! I hugely enjoyed the local specialities such as reindeer fillet, foal, and beer ice cream. The views in the fjord are incredible.
"Beautifully flavoured and inventive vegetarian meal"
Really enjoyed a beautifully flavoured and inventive vegetarian meal. Made with predominantly locally sourced ingredients. I highly recommend multiple courses to try more deliciousness. And lovely Icelandic beers, great selection of wines.
"One of the best in Iceland"
An absolute must on any trip to Iceland if you're into food! This beautiful restaurant is located right by the sea and offers not only a fantastic view, but also delicious local cuisine and excellent service.I can say that the food is definitely one of the best in Iceland!
Hjalteyri is a small village just north of Akureyri. Until the early 20th century, this was one of the main hubs of the herring fishing industry. But when the herring disappeared in 60's the fish factory was closed and what once used to be vibrant community turned into a tiny quiet village.
Today the old herring factory hosts as a venue for art exhibitions, workshops, smaller industries and a diving centre. Hjalteyri boasts some of the most interesting diver areas in the world, as the famous hydrothermal chimneys are right offshore.
During summer whale watching is also offered from Hjalteyri.
