Our visit to this farm restaurant in Iceland was unforgettable. The food was exceptional, especially the dishes featuring locally sourced sheep, which were expertly prepared and full of flavor. The opportunity to visit the working farm added a unique and authentic touch to the experience. They also have a great selection of tap beers to complement the meal. Highly recommend reserving a table in advance, as this hidden gem is definitely worth planning for!

We had dinner at the restaurant and it was likely my favorite restaurant experience in Iceland. The staff were very friendly and accommodating the entire time. The food was fresh and well curated. The views outside and into the restaurant were absolutely stunning. They have a cute little shop right outside the restaurant where you can purchase locally made goods as well. We did not have a reservation but arrived around 5pm and were seated right away.

We were looking for a restaurant that offers local cuisine. We picked Farm Resort, and the visit pleasantly surprised us. The waitress said, "Everything on the plate is either local or from our farm," and that says it all. Every dish was perfectly cooked and seasoned. We finally got to try the local bread baked in the ground using geothermal heat. The interior is stylishly decorated, and you can see the cows in the barn right from the restaurant. Thanks for the exceptional experience and the friendly staff!

We went for lunch. A waitress warmly welcomed us and arranged a table with the beautiful view. Here we tasted the special raw smoked lamb, the texture of the meet was so tender and flavorful, an unique taste experience. All the dishes were delicious. Overall, we had a pleasant and satisfying lunch. Highly recommended.

Fantastic fish main course! I would recommend it to everyone although it is not a big portion. My friends ordered the beef burger which they also liked very much and even put them on their top 3 burgers.

Stumbled upon this place while staying at the campground nearby. We explored the entirety of the island and this ranks as one of our top restaurants. Not only because of the food but it’s an experience as well! We enjoyed our dinner so much that we decided to return for their breakfast the next morning as well! Highly recommend.

We came here for an impromptu lunch on our way to Húsavík. We were seated immediately and the food was incredible! The special appetizer allowed us to sample a lot of the offerings. We opted for the roast lamb (which was the special of the day) and the cheeseburger. You can tell all the ingredients were fresh. The views of the farm and lake were beautiful and you can actually go into the barn and pet the cows. Overall it was a great experience. Highly recommend.

We ate here twice during our stay in Myvatn. The staff are very friendly and even remember repeat customers. The food is OUTSTANDING. We had the grilled cheese appetizer, geysir bread and butter (made there!), burger, beef goulash, raw dessert, cake of the day, and hot cocoa. There was no complaints about any of them. They also let you pet the cows who are so sweet and eager for pets!
