The confit blue ling starter was outstanding - best bite of fish I think we have ever had. Great balance of flavours on the ceviche too. We had a lovely meal, highly recommend!

The composition and flavor of the wolffish dish were excellent. The halibut, however, was less convincing – the sauce was overly sour and the dish felt poorly balanced. Both fish preparations were somewhat dry. The side potatoes, heavily coated in thyme, were not enjoyable. Charging nearly 1000 kr for simple bread and butter feels excessive; I would have expected it to be offered complimentary. The interior is tastefully designed and decorated, but guests seated upstairs will find themselves leaving with a strong smell of fat and food, as kitchen odors travel heavily to the upper floor. Overall, this leaves me with an ambivalent impression of the restaurant. Considering its fine dining aspirations, there remains considerable room for improvement. A final note: the menu is strictly fish-based, with no meat or vegetarian options. During our visit, we saw guests leave upon realizing it was a fish-only restaurant. Reservations are required, you may simply use the form on their website.

Wonderfull location on the town port with plenty of dishes with fresh fish and shells, we tried the mussels, the fish balls and the muscles, all of them simply fantastic, fresh fish, balanced flavours, nice presentation truly researched and well studied. Every plate has a reasonable price, good portions of the main dishes and very nice ambient. Service is superb, kind, smiling and super fast!

Excellent first dinner in Iceland. We failed to make a booking (highly recommend doing that!) and they fit us in. The atmosphere is welcoming and cozy. The food and cocktail divine!

Sjavarpakkhusid is a gem and one of the best we dined during our week-long visit in the country . Our dishes are amazingly fresh and well-flavored —Very Creative pairings of incidents! (Tbh,Icelandic seafood and lamb dishes, never disappoint!!!) also, Like most of restaurants in Iceland, service is great, and don’t feel forced. Servers always provide a bottle of water upon your arrival. Unlike some other European or U.S. restaurants, they don’t try to “sell” you other beverage, alcoholic drinks, or desert!

This restaurant is simply amazing! Beautifully located in a stunning building right by the harbor in Stykkishólmur, it offers a truly memorable dining experience. The cuisine is outstanding — every dish we had was cooked to perfection, with great attention to detail and flavor. I highly recommend making this a stop if you're in the area, and I’ll definitely be coming back next time I'm in the region. Tip: Be sure to book a table in advance — it’s popular for a reason!

The food was amazing. The presentation was beautiful and creative, making you feel as if you’re in a fine dining establishment. However, the portions for the price were fabulous, and the best seafood I had in Iceland. I recommend the wolffish and mussels. Around 4,500 krona for each big dish.

Small place with a nice climate. We ordered the tasting menu with pairing, it was the best choice here. Most of the dishes were fresh fish or seafood, everything was tasty, fresh and beautiful. The place is nice and cozy, service was great.
