Von Mathús restaurant

The idea to open VON mathús could be attributed to the enthusiasm and passion of Einar Hjaltason and Kristjana Þura Berþórsdóttir but location and the demand for diverse and local food culture, also played a huge part in their decision to make their dream come true and begin working towards it.
VON mathús emphasises seasonal Icelandic cuisine combined with ingredients that complement each dish perfectly

Einar Hjaltason is an acclaimed and experienced chef having studied at one of the finest dining establishments in Iceland – Grillið, at Hótel Saga. He also took part in the opening of the Sjávargrillið restaurant and in 2012 he set his sights on England where he facilitated in the opening of a new fine dining restaurant by the name of Dabbous, which subsequently received a Michelin star only eight months after opening. After returning to Iceland he became a head chef at KOL restaurant on Skólavörðustígur where he recently resigned to focus on the opening of VON mathús.
Kristjana Þura, managing partner at VON, is born and raised in Hafnafjörður and has extensive knowledge in this particular field of the service industry, as she has spent the last ten years working in both the restaurant- and the hotel sector.
