OTTO Food & Drink is a beautiful restaurant in Höfn’s oldest town house by the harbour, which was built by Otto Tulinius of which the restaurant is named after.

The restaurant opened its door in 2018 by a young couple Auður and Andrés and was an instant hit by the locals, especially for their delicious cinnamon buns they used to serve during the day. The recipe is here below.

During the summer of 2020 they decided to change the restaurant´s concept and create an indoor trip around the world for their dining visitors, giving them an opportunity to try different cuisines presented as short pop-up events.

OTTO Food & Drink offers a set menu with drinks, music and decorations from chosen countries, ranging from Italy, Thailand and India to name a few.

OTTO Food & Drink is about great food, cool drinks and the house legacy of family and fellowship.
