We had a veggie burger and fish - with Icelandic beer. Very cozy place with friendly staff. They also sell woolen handcrafts :)

As I write this I am leaving Iceland for the 24th time. I suppose that does make me something of a regular visitor. On all my travels around this magical country there are still places that I would call special. Yes, a lot of the...south has been sacrificed to tourism but if you know where to go, pockets of the real Iceland still exist. Norðurfjörður is one such pocket. I have been to Standir many times. The draw of the mountains, the ocean, the skies and the people is stronger than any gravitational pull. And so it keeps pulling me back. Hypnotically and I unquestioningly I keep coming back. At the core of the gravitational pull is Kaffi Norðurfjörður. If a place and its people can have a collective beating heart, this is it. I can remember the first time I ever visited Kaffi Norðurfjörður. It was busy. Very busy but Lovísa found me a table. Quietly I watched. When a room is full of happy, contented, well fed people it has a distinctive rhythm and this room had that aplenty. I knew then that it was special. The following day I had arranged breakfast (I’m not sure if this is something they still offer) at the Kaffi. That too was magical - the buzz of the night before was replaced by calm tranquility. The view across the harbour and to the fjord beyond is the sort of view that you can lose yourself in. The warmth of Lovísa and Sara’s welcome was and still is magical even by Icelandic standards. They have since become great friends and a piece of my heart will always be there. Countless visits later, it is like visiting old friends who happen always to cook me the most delicious food I cannot fully articulate the excitement I feel as I turn the final corner approaching Norðurfjörður seeing the Kaffi for the first time. My heart beats a little faster each time. Thank you Lovísa and Sara xxMore

While in Nordufjordur we had afternoon tea and, later, dinner at Nordufjordur Kaffi. The view was beautiful, the meringue cake was great and the cod for dinner was fantastic - yet another brilliant meal in Iceland!
