Kaffi Hornið

About Kaffi Hornið

Kaffi Hornið is a mid-range restaurant in Höfn í Hornafirði, the harbour town where East Iceland begins for anyone driving up from the south coast. Towns are far apart in this corner of the country, so knowing where you can actually get dinner matters more here than in the capital.

Höfn is the natural place to break a journey between the glacier lagoon at Jökulsárlón and the fjords further east, which turns a proper sit-down restaurant in town into a genuine anchor for the evening. In high summer the harbour fills with ring-road traffic, so it helps to know this is here before rolling in tired from a long day at the wheel.
