Viðvík Restaurant - Hellissandur

Such a little gem out in nowhere. From the outside, it does not look like a good place to eat, but inside is a very cosy restaurant with a warm atmosphere. We did wait quite a while to get our food, but it was very good. We had the three starts, two main dishes and a dessert. The scallops was amazing, and the cod so delicious. I am not big on lamb, but I had to try it anyway, and it was very nice.
Definitely check it out if you are in the area.

Great experience!!
Had dinner here during my Iceland road trip, this place surprise me in a lot of different ways. First of all, location is great, interiors are cozy but very stylish, there a great attention to details and design, this is usually a good sign and it was indeed!! Personal is fantastic, very nice, quick, focused on clients and very prepared, they know their plate and they will give you all the information that you can ask for
Food Food was awesome!! Presentation was great, the langoustine soup was presented in a very modern way (I'm not gonna spoiled this one, go and see by yourself!) and was delicious (I thought to order a second one as dessert, seriously!!)
Scallops were perfect and all the plate was at the same time rich and complex but also very easy to eat, you can see how complex this plate is as soon as it gets to the table and I was kinda of perplex since a like my seafood as simple as they can be, but when you taste it all the ingredients match perfectly and it was a truly surprise, probably best scallops I ever had!!
We got also the beef tenderloin and the sole, they were both great and well presented, the only critique that I can do is that the proportion between sole and pumpkin was little off and I would reduce the amount of pumpkin since was a little bit too much, fish itself was beautiful, very tasteful and basted with a lot of different herbs, again, very complex plate, very beautiful result!!

Highly recommend!!!

Others have said it, and it is true, this is 'one of the best places to eat in Iceland'. Beautiful views, gorgeous interior design, extremely sweet and helpful staff. We had the lobster soup, scallops, and seared cod. For desert we had the mousse. All were absolutely fantastic with perfect texture, balance, presentation, and flavour. The white wine we chose paired perfectly and we really appreciated the small bottles given we had many hours of driving ahead of us. The staff was also very accommodating of our needs and food allergies. Go ahead and try this place before it gets a big buzz and becomes expensive, as it is a fantastic value right now.

DELICIOUS. The langoustine soup was amazing, we could've eaten 5 more bowls. The sushi was very fresh and well prepared. We went on the early side so we didn't have to wait, but it did appear to get much busier later in the evening.

We visited Viðvík last year, so we’ve decided to come again, the menu is selective of delicacies and you will not be able to pick. The food was extraordinarily, the staff was welcoming, friendly and helpful, the atmosphere of the whole place is just magnificent and unforgettable. This will definitely become our yearly tradition and “must see” for all people visiting Snaefellsness.

The best fish dishes restaurant in my life. The taste of the beef dish is mediocre, but the dressing together is so delicious that it's worth ordering. The salad has a great fragrance of flavor. Can't hate

제 인생 최고의 생선 요리 식당. 소고기도 그럭저럭 괜찮은데, 함께하는 드레싱이 너무 맛있어서 주문할 가치가 있습니다. 샐러드는 고소향 향이 일품입니다. 싫어할 수 없습니다.

Cozy setting, lovely service and delicious food. If you’re in the area I highly recommend stopping in and trying the chef’s menu. It’s really not that much more expensive than eating a mediocre meal at a nearby hotel. This was by far the best meal, service and drinks we had in Iceland.

We were thrilled to find this little family-owned gem tucked away in the heart of the Snaefellsness. Never would have guessed we'd find this caliber of food out on the road! We had the lobster soup, carpaccio, fish and chips and (even though we were too full for it) the skyr dessert. Every plate was like a work of art and delicious. I should also mention the restaurant itself is gorgeous and the staff are so warm and friendly. Don't miss it. We will definitely be back when we visit again!
