Strikið is one of Akureyri’s best-known restaurants, located on the top floor of Hotel Kea in the town center. It’s especially famous for its panoramic views over Akureyri and Eyjafjörður, making it a popular choice for both special occasions and relaxed but refined dining.

Strikið focuses on modern Nordic cuisine with an emphasis on quality ingredients and clean flavors, often highlighting Icelandic produce and seafood. The menu typically includes well-prepared dishes such as fresh fish, lamb, steaks, and seasonal plates, presented in a contemporary style without being overly formal. The food is approachable yet elevated, appealing to both locals and visitors.

In addition to the food, Strikið is also known for its cocktails, wine selection, and bar atmosphere. Many guests come specifically for drinks, especially in the evening, to enjoy cocktails while taking in the view. This makes it a place that works equally well for dinner, a drink after work, or a more social night out.

The interior is modern and comfortable, with large windows that let the scenery take center stage. The atmosphere is calm and stylish rather than loud, striking a balance between restaurant and bar.
