Röstin sits on the second floor of the Garðskagi Heritage and Maritime Museum at the very tip of the Reykjanes peninsula, roughly 15 minutes from Keflavík Airport. Floor-to-ceiling windows and a balcony look out over the ocean toward the historic Garðskagi lighthouses, and in summer guests can sometimes watch humpback whales while they eat.
The kitchen focuses on fresh, locally sourced ingredients: morning-caught fish, homemade creamy fish soup, quality hamburgers, grilled chicken, and local lamb, with vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options also available. Classic Icelandic desserts such as apple pie round out the menu.
Consistently rated the best place to eat in Garður, the restaurant pairs straightforward, well-priced food with one of the most scenic settings on the peninsula, making it a natural stop when visiting the lighthouses, museum, and surrounding birdwatching coast.
