About Rauða Húsið Restaurant
Rauða Húsið is a restaurant in the coastal village of Eyrarbakki, about an hour from Reykjavik. It’s located in a restored red building that has stood for more than a century, giving the place a strong sense of history and connection to the area.
The restaurant is best known for its seafood, with langoustine being the standout dish. The shellfish is caught locally and served fresh, often grilled or in a rich soup. The menu also includes other seafood and traditional Icelandic dishes, prepared with a focus on simple flavors and quality ingredients.
Rauða Húsið is well known among locals but often missed by tourists, making it a quieter stop for those exploring the south coast. Its location, food, and history come together to offer a calm and authentic dining experience outside the city.
