Options along Iceland’s Ring Road are limited, but
Matkráin Restaurant in Hveragerði is worth seeking out for its charm, geothermal setting, and green landscapes.
Matkráin is a cozy, stylish space with a modern Scandinavian aesthetic, and its menu reflects a strong commitment to fresh, local ingredients, many of which are sourced from nearby farms and fisheries. Best described as a Danish-inspired bistro, it offers beautifully prepared open-faced sandwiches, fresh seafood, and Icelandic lamb dishes.
The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the staff couldn’t have been more welcoming.
Happy dining,
