Klausturkaffi — Restaurant in undefined

Without a doubt, our favorite meal we had on the trip. This is a lunch buffet located in the farmstead of a famous Icelandic author that has been turned into a museum with a small dining room for the homemade lunch buffet. The food is entirely homemade and is served family buffet style with a large table right by the kitchen for serving all the food. The "menu" changes daily but they are well known for their soups and homemade cakes which were all absolutely delicious. There was so much food and all of it traditional Icelandic, we had plates of reindeer pie, baked cod, curried lamb, rice, potatoes, vegetables. And then there's the bread.

Well, this was such a glorious spot to stop after a morning of adventure and hiking. It's situated in such an incredible location with stunning views all around.

All in all, a lovely place to visit (it's also a museum) with friendly staff and plenty of space for large groups. We'd definitely come back...

I was very excited when I heard about the cake buffet here and we decided to make a detour from our destination in Seydisfjordur just for that. The cakes were definitely tasty, though some were a bit dry - I think they had been out for a while or from the day before. The date cake was fresh however, and excellent. The various breads were also good, and we enjoyed the grape and cheese spread. The best part, however, was a kind of 'quiche' made from eggs, bacon, and bread, called beikon-baka. Totally delicious.

After enjoying the buffet we explored the remains of the cloister outside. It is very moving to think about the lives that were lived there, surrounded by the peace and beauty of the mountains. Everything is very well signed in both Icelandic and English, making it very...
