A.Hansen Restaurant - RESTAURANT, Reykjavik, Iceland

This house, Restaurant A.Hansen, is of great historic interest, since it´s one of the oldest houses in the town of Hafnarfjörður.

The oldest house in town, the residence of the noble Bjarni Sívertsen, now the town´s museum, is adjacent to A.Hansen and was built in 1803-05. Only a few steps further is the Icelandic Maritime Museum. A.Hansen was built in 1880 by merchant Knudtzon but his father had taken over the commerce on the site after Sivertsen´s death in the turn of the century.

From 1898 there was frequent change of owners of this house, mostly being Danish merchants. In 1914 Ferdinand Hansen began commerce in this house, continued by his son Hans to the mid sixties. After that this house served many purposes; upholstering workshop, recording studio, mission and exclusive men’s club, to name a few.

A few years ago 1985 Sigurður Óli Sigurðsson decided to convert Hansen´s house into a restaurant and thus restore the building to its original style. We hope you enjoy your visit to Restaurant A.Hansen
