Hannes Boy Café is a restaurant down by the marina in Siglufjörður,
North Iceland. The restaurant is popular with locals and tourists
alike due to its splendid view of both the surrounding mountains
and the harbor where fishermen routinely haul in the catch of
the day. Open during the summer months, Hannes Boy provides
patrons with a cozy and romantic atmosphere and offers them a
unique glimpse into the herring era of Icelandic history. Guests
dine in an old renovated fishery, while sitting on chairs crafted
out of antique barrels. Eating at Hannes Boy is an authentic and
unforgettable Icelandic experience.

In the heart of Akureyri, North Iceland, lies the unique restaurant
Rub23, owned and operated by one of Iceland’s most renowned
chefs, Einar Geirsson. Specializing in seafood, the menu offers
a wide variety of fish and sushi dishes, as well as juicy steaks
and delicious desserts. What makes the restaurant unique is the
homemade spice mixtures customers can choose from, so-called
rubs, which are either sprinkled on or rubbed into the food. The
customer first chooses a particular ingredient, fish or meat, and
then a rub. The menu also includes the chef ’s favorite combina-
tions. Funky, fresh and full of flavor, make sure to dine at Rub23
the next time you’re in Akureyri.

Located at the historical Hótel Kea in downtown Akureyri, Múlaberg
is a welcome addition to the North Iceland capital’s restaurant
scene; not least for its spacious outdoor seating area and daily happy
hour at the bar. Open 11 am to 10 pm, Múlaberg serves as a bistro,
as well as accommodating fine diners, with a diverse and tempting
menu. Inspired by French, Italian and Danish cuisine, Múlaberg
highlights Icelandic ingredients, offering everything from the fish of
the day and juicy steaks to sandwiches with a special twist, cooked
up by head chef Haukur Gröndal. The idea is to mix luxury and—
whenever possible—local ingredients, with everyday food, such as
the Galloway hamburger with truffle mayonnaise, Tindur cheese
and apple ketchup. The combination is surprising and absolutely
delicious.
