Báran

North Iceland


Behind the N1 is a harbourside restaurant – and it's a cool surprise to find a loungey area, wide-ranging menu, high-quality food and some excellent local beer choices. Pizza, pasta and burgers are well-done standards, but there's also good local lamb and fish. Some may be offended by the minke whale on the menu.

Drop by for a late-night drink with the locals on weekends.
