Þórbergssetur - Cultural Center & Restaurant

This restaurant is one of the very few options that you can choose for a dinner in the Jokursarlon area, considering its opening hours (until 21). The location is very nice, as it’s shared with a museum, and has a nice view on the sea. The food was good, we tried the artic char and the meatballs followed by two desserts. All the dishes were well-executed, and the portions size was not excessive. Service was fast and kind, prices were adequate for the standards of the area.

Lovely place to stay and for foods if you are planning to visit Glacier lagoon. We arrived 8.45pm Thank God they accepted us for dinner, otherwise you won't be able to find any restaurants nearby due to quiet and rural area. Foods are good. service is great, reasonable price. ☆Lamb Schnitzel is good. ☆Mango char is good. ☆Arctic char ~ texture a little soft , normal and salty. ☆Grilled Lamb is normal. Total bill 23,100 ISK There is a museum free to visit.

The exhibition is simple yet hearty free entrance when you are a guest at the restaurant. We dined here twice and the food is very good. We love the lamb soup it's the best. Main course Fish Combo is good, we also had the grilled lamb, very delicious. I also age the meatball, more of a comfort food with jam. The chocolate LAVA is a Must order. Enjoy the pics! And the service is fantastic. Super friendly and welcoming.

Incredible food, ambiance, and staff. This restaurant is located in a local museum and we were able to sit in the library to have our meal. I had the seafood soup, grilled lamb, and lime skyr cheesecake! My husband had the char tartar and lamb schnitzel. Our friend had the lamb pie. All plates were left empty as it was all amazing!

We were headed back to our lodging after hiking glaciers all day, and had been turned away from dinner at a fancy hotel restaurant 45 minutes up the road from here. Without many options we took a chance here and were exceptionally pleased. White linens on the tables, friendly staff, warm setting and the food!! The special that evening was essentially a lamb shepherds pie and it was so savory with delicious herbs. The fresh bread was perfect to clean the plate with.

Ordered the lamb. I don’t like it too dry so I request medium and then I tell them. Unfortunately, is dry. I was very disappointed! And I can not imagine, I ordered the main course but haven’t bread. I told the receptionist the lamb was dry. His face tells me he is very arrogant! The coffee is good! The price is not good for me. I never went to this restaurant!

This cultural center is dedicated to the Icelandic author, complete with a museum and restaurant. It came up as a place that I wanted to visit because of the very cool building with a set of books built into one wall that faces the road. We had a very tssty lunch in the restaurant; I had the Icelandic lamb soup served with bread and butter. It was a very comforting meal for a colder day. After lunch, we walked through the exhibit and learned about the man this center was named for. Overall, a great stop for our road trip.

So glad to have found this place to have coffee and lunch. It was a calm place to chill and warm up on my cross country bike tour. Thank you!
