Things to do in Siglufjordur
Accommodating about 5 tables inside, this quaint and cozily furnished restaurant is festooned with sailing memorabilia and provides beautiful Icelandic seafood. The salad is the chefâs surprise, and the maître dâ wonât speculate about its content. Delicious prawn cocktails, baked cod and arctic char, with many tasty sounding options. A perfect venue in a remote fishing village, and a delightful experience that was reasonably priced (for Iceland).
Im not a fish and chips expert, but this fish and chips in Siglufjordur was great - and the best I have ever had.Big portions and fair price.They really hit the spot with the batter around the fish - great sweet and sour balance!

About 75 minutes drive North of Akureyri is Siglufjordur, a small attractive town set in a dramatic landscape of snowy mountains and water. And down by the wharf is a cafe with a faded sign out the front. If you are in town for the evening, make a point of finding it, because it serves food of exceptional quality. In our walking around the town, we hadn't seen this restaurant. Only when an enquiry was made during the day about where we might have our evening meal, were we alerted to this small eatery. It's wonderful. We were greeted warmly, and directed to a table overlooking the harbour. The menu is quite small - always a good sign, in my view - and is very much oriented to local fish. We chose to have the Seafood Soup. It comprised salmon, Arctic char and cod, together with a superb tomato-based broth. Although soup is generally seen as a precursor to other dishes in many Western societies, in Iceland, as in Vietnam, it can be a meal in itself. That was very much the case here, because there was as much fish served as in any main course, and it was truly delicious: absolutely fresh, veriy tender and succulent, and beautifully offset by the broth. The accompaniment was brown bread of exceptional quality and taste.Although dessert is offered, we felt well satisfied with our soup offering.Staff are courteous and well informed about the food on offer.This is a restaurant worth searching out. Indeed, it is another good reason to visit this town and it's fabulous setting.

We enjoyed a lovely breakfast at the Sunna. Unfortunately, we were travelling from one place to the next and never had time to enjoy dinner. The breakfast was elegant and really well maintained by the staff.Only suggestions to the hotel staff - change the music selection! Ave Marie and On Eagles Wings are a bit depressing for meal period. Too formal and too reminiscent of funeral mass. Safe Travels, Colin

Hannes Boy is a unique but homey restaurant that offers a cosy and romantic environment at Siglo's marina village. It is located in the bright yellow house by the marina in Siglufjordur. The restaurant Hannes Boy is named after a local legend and fisherma
This was the other great restaurant we experienced in Iceland, a country not renowned for its food options. The interior is charming and cozy. I ordered the "Smaelki with Chicken" which was an unusual choice for me as I almost never order chicken at restaurants, but the ingredients used were too enticing to ignore (local potatoes and chicken dish with pine nuts, feta cheese, roasted tomatoes and chili mayo). It was delicious, and brought to mind Canadian poutine except fine-dining style. Not cheap by any stretch, but totally worth it!The town it's located in is gorgeous, and worth going well out of one's way to visit. For a future trip to Iceland we plan to stay here rather than just a quick stop.

Surrounded by towering mountains at the heart of Siglufjörður, youâll find a Moroccan master chef doing things in a different way. He works magic in the kitchen by creating the most wonderful mélanges of fresh Icelandic ingredients with Moroccan tradition
Enter the dark and gloomy guesthouse and move into the spacious dining area full of mismatched but charming dining tables and chairs. And then enjoy perfectly cooked, although minimally spiced, tagines! If you are a guest, the breakfast here is unfortunately not Moroccan, and is the typical Icelandic cold cuts, sliced cheese, cucumbers and bread for toast or dry cereal display. But, dinners are lovely!
