Jarlstofa is a great restaurant for your North Iceland tripJarlstofa is a charming restaurant in North Iceland that's unmatched in terms of coziness. It's located in the town of Saudarkrokur and welcomes guests from May to September, the peak travel season in the region.

It's a great place to enjoy a delicious dinner after a day of exploring and getting to know the atmosphere of this lovely town!

Hotel Tindastoll is one of the oldest hotels in Iceland

Jarlstofa is a part of the Hotel Tindastoll & Annex, which is a part of Arctic Hotels, and it's a strong contender for the title of coziest restaurant in Iceland.

It's located in a traditional 19th-century Icelandic house, which is fitting as Hotel Tindastoll happens to be the oldest hotel in Iceland, having originally opened in 1884!

This history is reflected in the atmosphere of the restaurant, with stone walls and dark wooden beams framing the dining space. It's decorated with antique furniture and items, adding to the restaurant's cozy feel.

The interior of Jarlstofa restaurant is very charming

You’ll notice old skis on the walls, an axe by the fireplace, and even a small organ in the corner. These objects reflect the town's long history and provide a glimpse into life in the past, so take in the room and see which items you recognize!

The Jarlstofa menu changes regularly, but you can choose from a two-course or three-course menu or go for small dishes that are perfect for sharing over a beer or glass of wine.

Enjoy the soup of the day at Jarlstofa restaurant

Soup of the day at Jarlstofan is always a good option.

You can expect a soup of the day, classic international main dishes, and local cuisine made with high-quality ingredients like Icelandic lamb and fresh seafood. There’s also a vegetarian menu and a kids menu if you're traveling with children.
