Sunna Restaurant

$$$$

Fine dining enhanced by glorious views over the marina and fjord create a memorable experience at this restaurant that focuses on fresh, local seafood (though offers meat options). Prices are admittedly high, but the quality makes up for it, and there's a good three-course prix-fixe menu.

Teni Restaurant & Café

$$

Located next to a swimming pool, Teni Restaurant & Café is an appealing café where you can fill up on traditional Icelandic dishes or something a little more exotic from Ethiopia, where the owner and chef are from. Portions can be generous here—particularly for Iceland—so arrive hungry. While opting for the Ethiopian fare is highly recommended, their pizzas are also total standouts.
