Röstin Restaurant - The Old Lighthouse Café

We arrived in Iceland today and are staying nearby. Like others who’ve reviewed we had a brilliant experience at the Röstin tonight. I had fish of the day (which was ling cod) and my wife had the falafel salad. Both were fresh and absolutely delish. It’s warm and cozy upstairs which was a welcome relief from the 40+mph wind outside!

My husband has the lamb chops and I had the fish of the day, which was cuck. It was delicious! The glaze on the fish and salad dressing was amazing. One guy was running the entire place from the tables to the register AND the kitchen! Definitely dont skip this place.

As foodie tourist we visited many places to immerse ourselves in local cuisine. From the second you arrive, the place is beautifully decorated, meet with a smile, and in my opinion the best tasting food that you can taste the passion and love in every bite. 15km from the airport, it is a must visit to start or end your vacation on a high.

On our last day in Iceland, we went for lunch. The restaurant was located on the second floor of a museum, offering beautiful sea views and delicious food. After lunch, we visited the museum, which had a rich collection of exhibits, including engines used in ships and vehicles, the domestic life of Icelanders in the past, and some historical stories of Iceland. We thoroughly enjoyed the lunch and enriched our understanding of Iceland by visiting the museum(free). Highly recommended.

What a find! If you're looking for a very nicely cooked meal with fabulous sea views then look no further than the Röstin Restaurant. It may seem like an odd place to come for excellent food but really it's worth the trip out here. We stopped by for lunch which consisted of Fish Gratin along with the soup of the day. Both of our meals were strikingly excellent being full of flavour and freshly prepared. Just like the food that your Mum used to make were she a whizz in the kitchen.

This restaurant is a gem... The food is fresh and the portions are big... The staff are very friendly and welcoming. 100% recommended

**Röstin Restaurant - The Old Lighthouse Café** Tucked away by the scenic coastline, Röstin Restaurant - The Old Lighthouse Café offers a truly unforgettable dining experience. My recent visit left me both amazed and satisfied, especially with the Ling Fish of the day and their delectable fish soup. The Ling Fish was a standout — perfectly cooked with tender, flaky meat and an incredible balance of spices. Each bite offered something new, with a myriad of flavors dancing on the palate, combining local herbs and exotic seasonings in a way that felt truly unique. The fish soup, meanwhile, was a symphony of deep, rich seafood flavors, comforting yet light, and enhanced by an infusion of aromatic spices. It was the perfect start to an already fantastic meal. Beyond the food, the restaurant’s atmosphere was just as impressive. Set in a beautifully restored lighthouse, Röstin boasts stunning views of the ocean, making it the ideal backdrop for a relaxing meal. The character of the space is both rustic and refined, with maritime décor that adds to the charm without feeling overly themed. The warm, inviting ambiance made it a place where you could easily lose track of time while enjoying both the food and the scenery. Overall, Röstin Restaurant - The Old Lighthouse Café is a hidden gem. Whether you're a seafood lover or simply looking for a unique dining experience with incredible views, this is a place that should be on your list. Highly recommended!

The prawns were delicious. Large portions. Attached free museum, gift shop (Inky and Margaret were fun to chat with), lighthouse on nearby point.
