Since 1979

Four decades.
Same family.
Same kitchen.

Hornið opened its doors in 1979 as Iceland's first Italian restaurant. The same family has owned it ever since. Today, the children and grandchildren of the founders work here alongside their parents.

The building is old. The recipes are older. The hospitality is the same as it's always been.

Photography by Jakob Halldórsson

Jakob Halldórsson's first solo exhibition hangs in the Gallerý at Hornið. Using multiple exposures, he blends different places and moments into a single frame, creating images that sit somewhere between photography and painting.

Jakob is an Edda Award-winning Icelandic filmmaker who trained at the School of Visual Arts in New York. The works on show were made between 2017 and 2026.

When: 5 September – 4 December 2026 Where: The Gallerý at Hornið, during opening hours Prints: Limited editions, signed and numbered
