We stopped in the restaurant after the Myvatn Baths and before walking through Dimmuborgim and loves it. Family owned and run. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Gave us recommendations for which trail to walk. Trout and geysir bread was excellent.
If you're visiting Dimmuborgir, you can do much worse than stopping at Kaffi Borgir right next door. The soup and bread buffet is a bargain, and definitely nice on a cold day. The toilets are pay toilets unless you purchase food. There's tons of seating,...as well.More
Unfortunately, we didn’t have a great dining experience here. My soup was expensive and basic. The geothermal bread which they were supposedly famous for, tasted like VERY sweet pound cake. It didn’t taste at all like dinner bread. The molasses was sickeningly sweet. (I honestly...think they may have just given us leftover cake). It was also so dry that it crumbled when we tried to pick it up. We’ve had the same type of bread elsewhere and it was DELICIOUS. My husbands horse burger was lacking all flavor and very, very greasy. His potatoes were undercooked and hard to eat. We were so hungry that we ate it all, but our stomachs did not like us afterward. I’m hoping it was just an off day.More
Had lunch at Kaffi Borgir after touring the neighboring Dimmobogir and as a prelude to heading out for a 4-5 hour drive to our next destination. There is the typically Icelandic selection of fish of the day along with sandwiches and pastries from the case....We opted for the all-you-can-eat soup and bread lunch special even though my partner is gluten-free. No accommodation for the food-intolerance was available nor attempted, but the cashier did know that 2 of the three soups on offer were gluten free: lamb soup and vegetable soup. Surprisingly the third soup -- coconut curry -- was really tasty, well done with a hint of spice. Very nice place for lunch, wish they accommodated the gluten allergy better ( GF bread is plentiful in the groceries).More
Excellent good at a good price! Best latte we had in Iceland where it has been tough to find a good strong cup of coffee. Delicious smoked trout sandwich. Yummy Geysir bread made underground in the geothermal steam. Cool to walk among the lava fields...behind the restaurant (the reason we came). Was nice to find a great little lunch spot too!More
We arrived early for dinner. Got the smoked lamb, goat, and trout appetizer followed by the trout special and a burger. The smoked meat dish was fabulous and unique! The trout was amazing. The burger good, not over cooked at all. The setting is gorgeous...- we sat next to the windows. The service was great as well.More
In the "middle of nowhere" of the Icelandic desert these guys have established this great rest+ eat place. No much variety, but all items are just perfect in taste and quality!
We were skeptical of this cafe because it was right by a tourist attraction (Dimmuborgir) but were glad we gave it a chance! The soup, bread, and coffee buffet was a great deal at 1450 ISK per person (unlimited refills of all of the above)....On the day we came, they were serving Icelandic meat soup (like chicken noodle soup but with lamb) and coconut curry soup (vegan!). The geysir bread was super good.More
Tasty soups and cakes - great views and a nice shop for some souvenirs. The right place after a hike at Dimmuborgir.
Lovely staff, delicious food, amazing view and a very friendly gift shop. I couldnt find anything bad i wanted to. Loved it.
I visited Kaffi Borgir with my friend while travelling around Iceland. It's a nice family business with great staff and delicious food. Definitely worth a stop when you're visiting Dimmu Borgir. Try the soup and the trout!
We came here after our hike around Dimmuborgir. The café has a lovely view of the area all around. We had the hamburgers and they tasted amazing! Prices are very reasonable.
As part of our organized bus tour, between the visit to the natural park of Dimmuborgir and the lava formations field, we were offered a snack at this restaurant. It consisted of a local type of bread baked in a geothermal field with butter and...smoked salmon, and a piece of cake with whipped cream. This restaurant is near the lava formations field and has a great souvenirs shop.More
We had lunch before hitting the trails and everyone had the all you can eat soup deal. The traditional Icelandic Soup and the Curry Soup were both quite good. A perfect pairing for a day that was a bit on the cool side.
Our party of seven stopped in for dinner before going to the Myvatn Nature Baths. Nearly all of us thoroughly enjoyed our dinners. The three that ordered the salmon thought it was one of their favorite dinners in Iceland.The lamb tenderloin and the trout also...received high marks. Our waiter was pleasant, accommodating and efficient. The view was beautiful. Everyone thought that the Icelandic skyr dessert was great! We definitely reccomend it. Yes dinner was expensive but it was on par for Iceland. People from the U.S.A. may be shocked at the prices, but this is Iceland. Kaffi Borgir turned out to be a great place for a lovely dinner.More
