Dining in South Iceland


There is a wide variety of restaurants located in the South of Iceland, both small and large restaurants. Many of which offer a famous and highly appreciated caterings, such as the Icelandic, traditional „Þorrablót“, as well as a Venison buffet and a Christmas buffet.

At these restaurants, the guests are pampered by their hosts in regard to both food and drinks.
If you wish to relax, you can find a small and cosy restaurant and can be in a personal contact with your hosts, even at a farm if you like.

Enjoying the countryside dining , means being offered a traditional, Icelandic „flatkökur“, twisted doughnuts, pancakes filled with jam and whipped cream and hot chocolate to drink with all of this delicious pastry.

Apart from all that, the South of Iceland can proudly offer restaurants where a great emphasis is laid on a professional and varied menu.

The hotels as well as the restaurants, often offer a four course menu, at all seasons. They like to use as much as possible of the raw material which is fresh and seasonal in the region at each time. Great emphasis is laid on a fresh material of the best possible quality available at each time.
Both restaurants and hotels are more than willing to handle catering at banquets, parties, meetings, conferences and other gatherings and the customers have a lot to choose from in that aspect.
