About Simbahöllin

Simbahöllin was unanimously agreed to be the best café in the Westfjords. Or, as one panellist argued, it is “the only real café in all the Westfjords.” It is located in a big, beautiful, bright green Norwegian timber-house with a terrace and a matching green bus converted into café seating. Serving Belgian waffles and housemade rhubarb jam, they also boast top-notch baked goods, snob-quality coffee, and dishes exotic to the Westfjords, like Moroccan-style chicken served in a tajine. The panel is prepared to fight you on this one.
