Kaffihus Grund

A 5 bedroom guesthouse with shared facilities and a restaurant.

Hard to find restaurant...it is actually the restaurant for the Guesthouse Fludir hotel. So use GPS to take you to the Guesthouse Fludir hotel to find this place. Food was fantastic. Salad was very fresh with cucumber, tomatoes, & pine nuts. Mushroom soup was amazing. Penne pasta came with yummy garlic bread and salad. Highly recommend. Fast service. Decent prices for Iceland standards.

I thought this place was a tad cynical and a bit style without substance. Fries in a shiny pretend miniature frying basket irritate me!I still can't get my head around Iceland's economy and the astronomical prices they charge, but because of the clean natural environment you expect food that is somehow an extension of that. Anyhow, we ordered two bowls of meat soup and a small beer. It came to almost the equivalent of €40. It just seemed the soup was formulaic. This place struck me as a place whereby the young staff deep fry or heat certain items up. There doesn't seem to be much cooking going on. At least not when we were there. I get the feeling, that with the exception of fried items everything comes from the fridge to the plate or from the fridge to the microwave to the plate.Our soup was clearly a packet of soup that had more natural items added. In our cases there were 3 or 4 pieces of lamb, a few slivers of carrot and I think turnipy type vegetable. It tasted like packet soup too. It came with one of those pre-baked bread rolls from a packet. My feeling is, if you are going to charge so much for something so modest than, make it great and unforgettable. Make it from scratch and with TLC. It reeks of tourist trap. I can't imagine if locals were dining out they'd go anywhere near this place.

Pleasant casual restaurant with a tasty assortment of food. We saw mixed reviews but decided to check it out, and glad we did. I had the cod fish and chips (excellent) lunch special. The real surprise, for me, was horse on the menu. I sampled some and it was great! The manager was friendly, attentive and spoke very good English. I’d eat here again.

Reviewed By AreWeThereYetMama

Not that there are a lot of choices in town (lol, teeny town) but I’d have driven to come here. Beautiful food, lovely setting and atmosphere, good service, nice location for a walk (and it looked like the Fontana next door would have been wonderful for a dip in the springs). Pricey but that’s standard in Iceland, at least as far as we experienced. Great choice.

Truly a hidden gem in the South Coast. Pictures and videos do not do justice to the magic of this place. We were a big wedding group and Andri made sure our arrangements went smoothly and that we have a wonderful viking experience with hands on instruction on axe and arrows as well as sharing in history. Having axe throwing and archery activities outside during sunset will be a favorite memory here. he even let us toast some marshmallows on fire outside. Upon entering, I felt transported back into time, with the lighting and music hauntingly beautiful. The entire ambiance is unlike any other. Here you can enjoy delicious meals with vegan options available. For the brave, they also offer fermented shark ! A must see in Iceland for travelers, also, HIGHLY recommended for events like weddings and corporate gatherings! **They are active on instagram, be sure to check their page out for current videos and picturesHi Betty,Thank you so much for these incredibly kind and generous words. You guys were absolutely amazing guests and we are truly happy to have met you guys. You will always be welcome here at Ingólfsskáli!Thank you again and until next time...

Lovely restaurant and Cafe in Selfoss.

Reviewed By morganj142

On our tour of Iceland, a friend and I stopped in here for some lunch. We both enjoyed our hamburger and chicken burger with fries. My friend especially enjoyed her cafe latte (served with a tiny square of chocolate). The service was prompt, setting enjoyable. Note for those with mobility limitations: the washroom is up a steep flight of stairs and not easy to navigate.

Tryggvaskali Restaurant

Reviewed By APJ893

We chose this restaurant after reading many good reviews, so perhaps our expectations were too high.It is very nice inside, quite quirky with a warm and cosy feel. The staff were a mixed experience; the first man we spoke to seemed friendly, but our waitress seemed rather distant and uninterested.The main disappointment really though was the food; there was nothing bad about it as such, but it wasn't particularly good, just rather average. All in all it was an expensive meal that didn't live up to expectations.

Skjol

A camping site and a restaurant on the Geysir area between Gullfoss and Geysir that are the most visited places in Iceland and about 2 million visitors every year pass by.

Reviewed By Adam G

I was staying at the nearby Geysir Hestar, and came after recommendations from them. After a long, cold day of hiking and sightseeing this really made my day, in the middle of nowhere in Iceland I certainly wasn't expecting to find a cool little Americana-style bar!Pizzas are amazing, that's all that needs saying. And just a nice place to sink a few cold glasses of Gull. Perfect spot for lunch en route or dinner if you're splitting the Golden Circle over two days.
