Brauð & Co
Bakery
👍 Nice bakery with vegan options, only space for 2 to eat inside. Gets fairly busy but service is efficient.
Staff spoke good English (thanks)
Generally good for fresh baked goodies, the vegan options sell out quickly (please make more of them) and I missed them twice. Vegan croissants only available...

Mia's Country Van - Local Fish & Chips
Fish & chips restaurant
👍👍 This is hands down the best fish and chips I have ever had! The fish is so tender, moist and flaky. The batter is light and crispy and not oily at all! I have had a fair share of fish and chips in my days but this one is the best. The chips are so crispy, you have many choices with the sauces and ot...

Skool Beans micro roaster… and sometimes a cat!
Cafe
👍👍 Skool Beans is exactly what we hoped. We’d put it as one of our things to do on our trip and it paid off. The bus is super cute and cosy and has fantastic views of the outdoors on either side. It’s lovely and warm, and the staff are so welcoming and friendly. You’re made to feel very welcome.

Seafood restaurant
👍👍 This restaurant in the basement of an old home/church has been in the family for the owner for many years. The interior setting is reminiscent of an ale house so learn to be cozy with your neighbor. The owner and servers delighted us with tales of the location and history while the meals were bein...

Goðafoss
Tourist attraction
👍👍 What a wonderful, scenic attraction! So easy to get in and out of. A wide, paved walking path made it a breeze to get to right off the main road. There's a gift shop and bathrooms for all the road warriors out there in need of a quick stop. Multiple viewing points make it so easy to capture that pe...

Arabian Taste
Syrian restaurant
👍👍 My goodness if this isn’t the best Doner Kebab I’ve ever had. I had the chicken Doner, my dad had the mixed Doner (lamb and chicken) and my mum had the falafel.
The meat was cooked and seasoned to perfection. Even the the pita tasted freshly baked.
An excellent treat after a very long day.

Dettifoss (West Side)
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Very powerful great waterfall.
I recommend the east side for two reasons, first it seems you get closer to everything and when we visited it was very cloudy and seemed like if you were on the other side you wouldn’t be able to see it as well.
Secondly it gives good access to Hagrilfoss with good vie...

Hálsanefshellir Cave
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Beautiful basalt columns located on gorgeous black sand beach. You are able to climb the basalt columns however our guide informed us they are very slippy and prone to crumble, so I wouldn’t advise for safety reasons, and of course to preserve the beautiful columns.
Please make sure you are informe...
