6. Lauf Restaurant
Reviewed By W3713CXjamesd
Whilst slightly expensive, we all enjoyed the buffet meal here (there was a discount for those with children under 12). Many choices of meat, fish and veg to keep everyone in our family happy. The desert was also very good with many options.

Dining at The Wilderness Center is a really special experience. The cozy dining rooms are immaculately restored and decorated with historical artifacts, cutlery and crockery. I have dined here many times and the food is always excellent - freshly baked bread, hot mushroom soup, local free range lamb meat, delicious salmon fillets, locally grown potatoes and rhubarb all prepared in a really authentic home-style way. The kitchen is in the same room as one of the dining rooms, and it is always nice to be able to chat with the chef between courses. Five stars, quite unlike anything else in Iceland.

At Nielsen you can either sit inside or when weather permits on the beautiful tree surrounded patio. The main focus of the constantly evolving hearty menu at Nielsen will be local and seasonal ingredients taken at the peak of their flavors, preserved or u

The restaurant is located in a very nice old house, with a small, one page menu (3 starters, main courses and deserts each). The first night we had a three-course menu with the wild salmon as a starter and lamb for main course and ice cream chocolate/caramel dessert. Both the Spanish and French red wine by the glass were also very good. We returned the next evening having the same starter and the fish of the day, a nicely prepared cod. Best to go early or make a reservation as the restaurant filled up every night from 7 PM on.

Our tour bus had stopped for lunch and shopping. We were hungry and the direction we took brought us to the hotel. After reviewing the menu l could not make up my mind so I order 2 small meals. Lobster and Cod. This was the best lobster and cod I have ever had. Yes it was pricey but it was wonderful and the beer was great. I forgot what my wife and niece had so I cannot comment on there selections.

Klausturkaffi is a restaurant in an very scenic farmhouse a short drive from Hengifoss waterfall. The farmhouse is built on a historical site, where a 1600 century monastery stood and where it's ruins have newly been excavated. The restaurant serves local food and cakes, prepared on site. Great food and cakes so if you're driving to see the Hengifoss waterfall or just around the "lake" to look for the famous worm, you really should make a stop there.Yes, and take a look at the monastery ruins!
