Fjallakaffi

Top choice in North Iceland


Folks simply passing through Möðrudalur should stop at Fjallakaffi for coffee and homemade kleina (traditional twisted doughnut) or ástarpungur (love ball), or try the true farm-to-table dishes. Specialities range from fillet of mountain lamb to goose breast, pan-fried Arctic char and reindeer steak. You can also get a simple soup (or Icelandic moss soup!) or toasted sandwich.
