Strýtan

About Strýtan

Small plates and drinks set the format at Strýtan in Akureyri — a bar and café in the largest town in the north, where beers, wine and cocktails carry the list and the food stays snack-sized rather than three-course.

Akureyri rewards a slower evening, and this is the address for one that stops short of a full sit-down meal — somewhere to trade the day's driving stories over a drink and something to pick at. Wanderers who have spent the afternoon on the fjord or in the botanical garden can wind down here before deciding whether dinner proper is even needed.
