About Birki Restaurant

Höfn í Hornafirði is a common overnight stop for travellers working their way through East Iceland, and Birki Restaurant handles the dinner side of that stay: an Icelandic kitchen with fish and lobster at the centre of the menu.

Most people reach Höfn at the end of a long day among the glaciers — Jökulsárlón, Diamond Beach, the tongues of Vatnajökull — and roll into town ready for dinner rather than more driving. A plate of local fish or lobster is a fitting close to that kind of day, and the harbour town's seafood leaning feels of a piece with where you are.
