Sker Restaurant viewsSker Restaurant is located in the fishing village of Olafsvik on the Snaefellsnes Peninsula. It’s a relaxed, friendly spot where you can expect simple, well-made Icelandic food and a laid-back atmosphere.

Thanks to its location right by the harbor, Sker Restaurant is known for its strong connection to the sea, with much of the menu inspired by fresh, locally sourced Icelandic ingredients. It’s a great place to sit down for a warm meal after exploring Olafsvik.

Sker Restaurant is also one of the recommended locations included in Guide to Iceland’s VIP Club, where visitors can enjoy exclusive discounts and perks as a Guide to Iceland customer.

Deep-fried mozzarellaKick things off with one of their delicious appetizers. The deep-fried Camembert cheese is a crowd favorite, crispy on the outside and irresistibly gooey inside, a total treat for cheese lovers.

If you want something fresh, go for the Icelandic burrata, beautifully plated and full of flavor. On chillier days, the wild mushroom soup is comforting like a warm hug.

Being in a fishing village means the seafood here is next-level fresh. Their fish and chips is a classic, with crispy batter and perfectly flaky cod that’s hard to beat.

Sker RestaurantIf you’re up for something more refined, the pan-seared cod fillet is served with seasonal veggies and a sauce that ties everything together beautifully. 

If you’re in the mood for meat, the beef tenderloin is a succulent choice, cooked to perfection and served with seasonal vegetables.

Sker RestaurantThe menu also features fantastic pizzas, like one topped with lobster, shrimp, arugula, parmesan, garlic sauce, pickled onion, and kale, or another with burrata, Parma ham, arugula, and garlic.

Vegetarians will love the vegetarian pizza or the veggie burger, both packed with flavor and fresh ingredients.

End your meal on a sweet note with the warm date cake, served with berries, caramel and vanilla ice cream. Other delightful options are the Nutella pizza or the Toblerone mousse, both totally worth trying. 

Sker RestaurantBeyond the delectable dishes, Sker Restaurant is known for its friendly staff and inviting atmosphere. The team is dedicated to providing exceptional service, ensuring that each guest feels welcomed and well cared for.

The cozy interior, combined with the picturesque surroundings of Olafsvik, makes it an ideal spot for both casual meals and special occasions.
