Daddi's Pizza

Fish & Chips Lake Mývatn

$$

There's only one item on the menu at this unassuming little eatery and it's fresh, flakey, and guaranteed to hit the spot during a long day of sightseeing. Make sure you get your fries with "kokteilsósa"—a beloved Icelandic blend of ketchup, mayo, and secret spices.

Kaffi Sel

$$

The terrific views of Stakhólstjörn pond and the Skútistðagígur pseudocraters are reason enough to visit this no-frills café, but the homemade fare comes in at a close second. Along with their delightful meat soup and cakes, they also offer a cozy selection of souvenirs and beer brewed on-site.
