Welcome to join us for our breakfast buffet at Skáld Akureyri
Abba-labba-lá is a new restaurant located in the heart of Akureyri. The restaurant takes its name from a poem by one of Iceland’s most beloved poets, Davíð Stefánsson.
Inspired by the freedom and creativity of Icelandic literature, the cuisine places emphasis on curiosity, imagination, and confidence in developing new dishes and flavor experiences.
Each dish evolves like a beautiful poem — expressive, refined, and slightly adventurous, with a touch of mystery — whether it is a signature main course, a smaller sharing plate, or a diverse selection of starters and desserts.
The kitchen works with high-quality seasonal ingredients, combining the unique character of northern Iceland with diverse international influences, always placing flavor and presentation at the forefront.
The culinary philosophy of Abba-labba-lá is colorful, flavorful, and unafraid to explore new directions by bringing together diverse worlds of taste from different cultures and inspirations.
The kitchen serves as a lively stage where guest chefs contribute to the menu, introducing new ideas and flavor experiences while creating a constantly evolving dining concept.
The result is an ever-changing experience that surprises, inspires curiosity, delights guests, and gives them every reason to stay longer than planned — while hopefully creating a genuine desire to return.
