Fjárhúsið Hella — Restaurant in Iceland

If you find yourself driving between Hella and Vik, make sure to stop at this hidden gem of a restaurant in Hella, Iceland. My husband and I were pleasantly surprised by the experience from the moment we sat down by the river. The atmosphere was authentically Icelandic, creating a cozy, welcoming vibe that perfectly matched the stunning views.

The staff went above and beyond to ensure we had the best possible experience, offering warm, attentive service that made us feel right at home. The food was the real highlight—my husband had the freshest salmon, caught from the very river we were overlooking, and I opted for the melt-in-your-mouth beef tenderloin.
