Excellent food, fast wifi , what more can you ask for? I got the vegetarian special. It was fantastic.

Meri Williams

Everything I’ve ever eaten here (on multiple visits now) has been delicious. The shared starter platter is epic. The lamb shank is fall-off-the-bone tender. The goulash is gorgeous. Eat it all!

Ben Mackey

The lamb shanks are truly amazing! Don't think about it and just order it! The Arctic Char was excellent too.

Jaakko Hynynen

Delicious food, generous portions , friendly service and peaceful lamb pasture just outside the window. I recommend the slow cooked lamb shank !

Paulina

Don't be fooled by the crepe under light lunch . It's enough for two and then some. Get it without the Arctic char . The lamb sandwich with garlic sauce is also superb.

Edgar Edgar

The best food in Iceland we have tried by far. The lamb shack is 10/10, to die for. The Skyr is to kill for. An awesome place with a unique view .

Lauren D.

awesome place! if you like lamb and want to try everything, get the 3 course dinner . lamb was perfectly cooked and delicious, as was the arctic char . geysir bread ice cream was great

Jeni Bulcock

It smells a little like cows but don't let that deter you. The Arctic Char and Lamb Shank for dinner are to die for. If you have room (or even if you don't), try some of the cheeses or the ice-cream.

Scy DV

Get the Geysir bread with Arctic char and the Vogafjós Cake with their homemade ice cream

Cedric Walravens

Great burger meat - you can see the cows’ stables from the restaurant ! Not for vegetarians :-)

Nevena

literally the strangest cafe i’ve ever been to. food is really yummy (vegetarian special) but way overpriced - that’s the way how farm to table concept works.

Kappie Farrington

Best meal I had in Iceland . Get the farmer's plate or the raw lamb . The geysir bread is cooked underground with natural heat. And it's delicious!

Lauren Downing

The most literal farm to table lunch we've ever had. Homemade cheese , burgers and lattes--all made from the cows you can pet outside.

Dana Jensen

The portions on the farm plates are huge, the arctic char is delicious, and the myvatn specialty bread was my favorite rye bread of the week. Nicely moist.

Peter van Kampen

Try the amber stinnis kaldi beer with angelika flower in it. This flower shares 8 ingredients with viagra ;-)

Michee Lee

Must try the fresh milk from the Icelandic cattle! So rich! You can also watch them being milked through glass windows in the cafe 

Tze Khang Poh

Food and cakes are good here ! Must try their dairy products here like cheese cream.

Conor O'Sullivan

Smoked lamb - to be honest everything as all food is locally sourced

Rory Parness

End your meal with a slice of vojafjos cake and a tall glass of milk fresh from their cows

Goss Nuzzo-Jones

Portions are very generous for the main courses. Fantastic fresh food !

Himali W

Vegetarian friend loved the crepe . Goulash was a bit more watery in texture than I expected but was still flavorful and warmed me up.

Mara Ba

Extraordinary place. Their raw cake was amazing! I was so happy to find a gluten free sweet treat !

Iris Willow

Beautiful view while you eat - Arctic char was delicious. Plus you can see the dairy cows through a window from the restaurant .

L. Q.

The "Icelandic taste" (small portions of everything) was AMAZING. I never thought raw cured lamb could taste so good! A true trip to Icelandic cuisine and an amazing view and location.

Emilie Futterman

Get the ice cream ! And try to visit the cows if you can

Maria L

Arctic char is delicious! The burger is also super tasty and their own cake :)

Q

Try geysir bread . It's awesome! All other foods are great. Lil bit hard to find.

Alissa Ludanskaa

The lamb was amazing. Very cute idea seeing the cows from the restaurant . Everything is very fresh.

Anne

Best meal I've had in 5 days in Iceland . Get the Arctic Char--it's amazing.

alejandro saucedo

Amazing place!! Really recommend it - try the geyser bread and lava tea :)

Bernardo Braga

Loved the Lamb shank ! A big plate , check for photos and see if you can share with someone

Alyssa Guo

Arctic char is great. Portions are huge so a light plate is enough for lunch

Karen Schipper

We had the lamb shank which was to die for

Karin Gattringer

Good burger , doesn't get any more local than this - the cows can literally watch you while eating.

Evgeny Vasilets

Wonderful lamb . The window that allows you to see cows also impresses.

Dirty D.is.ko

Best food in the area and a really cool etting, try to eat there when the cows get milked !

Michee Lee

Try the home made ice cream - Angelica and geyser bread flavours :)

The burger is from the space! Highly recommend!

Alex Simon

The lamb shanks were good but oh my god the cows

William H

Burger is overrated - too busy, too much sauce and other things. Nice views , though.

Jonathan Scholz

Try the cold courses with ham , cheese and fish from the house. They're great.

Rick van Overbeek

Delicious fresh burger !

Nick Roy

The ice cream is great. The scenery is fantastic.

Carlos Rojas
