We stayed at Hofn for one night while travelling around Iceland and were recommended this restaurant by the owners of the guesthouse we were staying at. This was the most expensive place we ate at in Iceland, but all agree that the food was so good it was worth the money. The waiter was friendly. The restaurant was fairly busy... More

The restaurant is located very near the beautiful port of Hofn, the Lobster capital of the north, as they call her in Iceland (if it is the Langoustine, I would imagine they may claim for that title). In any case, the lovely, spacious and very nicely decorated restaurant is with no doubts the best seafood restaurant out of Reykjavik, and... More

This restaurant is directly across the street from Dyngja guesthouse. The restaurant setting and interior is quite nice and reflects the quality of the food. If you're looking to have some lobster, this is a great place to do it. I had the dish which was the full lobster with a few other tails. It was delicious and very fresh.... More

The restaurant is not easy to get to. It about as far as you can get in Iceland from Reykjavik though it close to some of the most impressive sites on the ring road. It is not reasonably priced. It was probably the most expensive meal we had in a country that is not cheap. The atmosphere is fine but... More

We took a day flight east to Hofn to see the Vatnajökull Glacier Lagoon and snowmobiling the Glacier, but on return we found out our flight was delayed over an hour so our guide quickly made a reservation at Humarhofnin for 12. The restaurant is located about 7 minutes from the airport across the street from the ocean. It's an... More

The town of Hofn is apparently well-known for its fresh langoustines, so while we were there, we decided to splurge a bit and see what all the fuss was about at this restaurant. We had the langoustine bisque (roughly 2000 ISK) and a few plates of the mixed whole langoustines and langoustine tails (about 5900 ISK each). As you can... More

Who knew such great restaurant exists in a small fishing town Hofn. I was just thinking of going to ATM and get some stuff in the supermarket where I ran into Humarhofnin. The langoustines were the freshest and cooked perfectly with garlic and herbs. I didn't even use the sauce because it was best the way it came out, sweet... More

Among the most pricy places we ate (and we went for lunch), however it was an incredible meal. The langoustines just cannot be beat. Great atmosphere, adorable cafe.

We had lunch at this cozy little seafood restaurant in Höfn. Since Höfn is rather small, we were afraid that the restaurant, being one of the few ones in Höfn, would be packed. To our surprise all the outdoor tables were available, so we could have lunch outside on a beautiful day. The service was very nice and helpful and... More

Yes, its very expensive and we recommend that one should factor-in the price of a meal here while making preparations for Iceland itself. But please do not miss this place if you travelling a 100 km near this place. The food is awesome - the Langoustines are absolutely fresh along with the fresh herbs that they use to prepare the...
