Tælgesen

Tærgesen sits in the heart of Reyðarfjörður in a characterful timber house dating to 1870, close to the harbour. The family-run restaurant and guesthouse serves generous portions of comfort food, from burgers and its well-known pizzas to grill specialities and à la carte meat and fish dishes, with breakfast and a daily lunch special also on offer.

Fans of British television may recognise the building, which doubled as the Midnight Sun Hotel in the thriller Fortitude. Open year-round with all-day service, it is a reliable, casual stop in this fjord town.
