    As the only place of shelter at Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, this basic café, resembling a series of pitched roofs, offers light refreshments with sandwiches, soups, hot chocolate, and coffee. There is free Wi-Fi, bathrooms, and a modest selection of postcards and souvenirs. It's open year-round. If the weather is good, the food trucks in the car park are a better option for a bite.

  • 4. Þórbergssetur Restaurant

    $$$$

    The large restaurant inside the Þórbergssetur museum and cultural center is often busy, as there are limited food options along this stretch of road in Iceland. Even with that pressure, the dishes are always tasty, with a special emphasis on lamb and arctic char raised on the local farm. It's an all-day affair too: you can stop by for a light meal, soup, or a waffle or a hearty, three-course evening meal.

    478–1073

    Known For

    • Pan-fried arctic char
    • Lamb soup
