The ‘Cowshed’, 2.5km south of ReykjahlÃð, is a memorable restaurant where you can enjoy views of the lush surrounds, or of the dairy shed of this working farm (cows are milked at 7.30am and 5.30pm). The menu is an ode to local produce: smoked lamb, house-made mozzarella, dill-cured Arctic char, geysir bread, home-baked cakes and homemade ice cream. It’s all delicious.
Kitchen closes at 10pm in summer.
