8. Mylla Restaurant
Reviewed By Mei-Mei K
Of course we expected to pay a lot for meals in Iceland, the most expensive country to visit. Most entrees were easily twice what you'd pay at home. But we mostly accepted that, and had some very nice meals.The Mylla restaurant at Icelandair Hotel Myvatin was ridiculous. We had a lobster soup ($17), goose ($40) and tofu ($26). All the soups we had in Iceland were in generous portions. This soup came in two parts. In a small bowl was one yummy shrimp, several tiny scallops and 3-4 pearl mushrooms. Then they poured a broth atop it. So it was basically hint of lobster and essence of seafood. The tofu was fairy bland and obviously overpriced.The goose was delicious. But the portions were shocking, and insulting: 3-4 tiny pieces not much bigger than the popcorn they put on the plate for decoration. For $40?! This was the only meal over 10 days that was this stingy, leaving us with a very sour taste for Icelandair Hotel Myvatin, where we stayed for two nights.

Huge buffet selection with loads of hot and cold options. Staff were attentive to the food and replenished quickly to keep the diners satisfied. 2 in our group said that the herring was the best that they had ever enjoyed. Big windows in our dining area facilitated a nice view as we enjoyed our meal. So convenient when you are visiting the Lake area to see the avian treasures.

This hotel is a little pricey but the whole thing is really nice. And although itâs a little sterile looking from the outside, inside itâs got that old B&B feel to it and the room was beautiful, spacious and clean. Bathroom was roomy too, great shower, nice soft towels. We were up on the top floor (thereâs no elevator) and the view of the lake was perfect.The free breakfast was excellent with lots of choices and great coffee. Service was wonderful. We highly recommend this place.

Eldey Restaurant opened during the Summer of 2014 along with Hotel Laxá, since then our Chef has been creating a menu around Iceland and Myvatn region's uniqueness, putting an emphasis on regional ingredients and carefully selecting high quality products.

It was ok. Not stunning. Not amazing. But ok sustenance. The doughnut pastry was dry and chewy. The sandwiches were weak as far as content. Had some coffee and water. The people working were nice. And they had some nice art for sale. Bathrooms were clean. Have fun. Follow us @nickellfamilytravel

At Fosshotel Mývatn Restaurant, we offer Icelandic cuisine at its best. Fosshotel Mývatn's restaurant is truly one of North Iceland hidden gems offering spectacular views over lake Mývatn.

A pleasant meal of tomato soup followed by cod with new potatoes, cauliflower, mushrooms and peppers with puréed sweet potato. Both courses were lovely and the staff were as attentive as one would hope but not intrusive

We came there as group of 12 and were âwelcomedâ by rude staff telling us that the kitchen was closed. Something they do not mention on the web. So be prepared for rude and bad service and perhaps a closed kitchen. A big disappointment.

Decided to eat here after seeing the menu displayed at the start of the marked trails as it seemed to offer something different. We all had the Icelandic smoked lamb sausages with sweet potatoes and salad and it was all very tasty and would recommend. The apple pie for desert was just as good too. Very friendly staff and great views of Lake Myvatn. Would recommend this restaurant.

This cool looking restaurant is part of the inn and backs up to the milking shed. There are windows for those who want to watch the cows. But, it's the food that is really worth a mention. It is well prepared, well presented. The service is good and discreet. It should not be missed if you are in the area.
