If all-you-can-eat soup and bread is your idea of the perfect lunch, get yourself to Geirabakari Kaffihus. You can also enjoy pastries, baked goods, coffee, or soup, all with a great view of the mountains.
The mood at Grillhúsið is very casual, and the open layout—it almost feels like a diner—is great for containing children with some energy to burn. You'll find burgers, wraps, sandwiches, and the random Tex-Mex item on the menu. Grillhúsið is about as far from traditional Icelandic cuisine as you'll get in this part of the country.
Wood-fired pizza is the main appeal here, and there are plenty of options to choose from. Don't sleep on the homemade garlic oil the restaurant offers on the side—it will take your pizza to a whole new level. Its location near a golf course makes it the perfect pre- or post-round snack.
The menu at Snorri’s Kitchen & Bar is a true trip around the world—think German-inspired schnitzel, classic American chicken nuggets, and fish and chips featuring the local catch, to just name a few. All dishes are presented with the artistic attention to detail Icelandic restaurants are known for. The decor is clean and simple, and you won't feel out of place bringing the kids here.
