3 Best Restaurants in Vík, Reykjanes Peninsula and the South Coast (with the Golden Circle)

This eccentric café—located within an old converted U.S. school bus from the decommissioned Keflavik army base—is dripping with both character and caffeine. Grab a coffee, or, if you're adventurous, one of their custom blended tea infusions or mushroom lattes. They also have a great selection of bagels and sweet snacks. 

After a long day of exploring the south coast, a burger and beer from Vík's Smiðjan Brugghús is just what the doctor ordered. This brewery serves up its own luxurious craft beer brewed on the premises along with a selection of comfort food including wings, chicken and waffles, BBQ ribs, and, of course, loaded burgers.

In an old beautiful house overlooking the mountains, Suður-Vík offers a wide variety of dishes, ranging from wild game to curry bowls. In the basement they have a bar that stays open late.
