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

The only mushroom farmers in Iceland invite you to feast on pâté, spreads, sauces, and ice cream—all made out of mushrooms. There's an emphasis on slow cooking, and their herbs, meat, and vegetables come from neighboring farms.

Just outside the Secret Lagoon you will find a small shed serving delicious fish-and-chips. You can take them to go, sit out front at a picnic table if the weather is nice, or escape the Icelandic wind and cold and eat standing up in the warm and cozy shed. The shed's opening hours and days can be a bit erratic, so check on their Facebook page before you stop by. 

In an unassuming summer cottage at the town limits of Flúðir, you will find traditional Ethiopian specialties cooked and served by an Ethiopian-Icelandic couple. Eating spicy food with your hands surrounded by Ethiopian art is a real treat after a full day of sightseeing in the intense Icelandic terrain. Reservations are highly recommended.
