Reviewed By jorge007 - Illinois
Our group of three couples stopped in for lunch after going to the secret lagoon. The buffet has plenty of choices of tasty food including soups, salad items, meat and delicious breads. We were all very impressed with the quality and quantity. It was definitely one of the best deals for eating out in Iceland where restaurants are expensive even for modest fare.
2. Menam

Menam Restaurant is located at Eyravegur 8 in Selfoss near the banks of Olfusa river. Menam, which actually means "By the River" is an Thai/International restaurant who places emphasis on delicious food of both Thai and International origin, cooked only with fresh ingredients, served in a soft-spoken manner and surrounded in cozy settings. Our staff is both of Thai and Icelandic origin whose experience in their field guaranties the best quality in our cuisine. We do also offer traditional courses (fish and steak) so everyone should be able to find something they like :-) Please come and visit us - we look forward to be at your service !

This is an Asian/Thai restaurant. I had the garlic ginger chicken and my husband had the garlic ginger beef. The food was seasoned nicely not hot. I could not believe how many vegetables were served!!!! It seems vegetables are in short supply in Iceland. This is the only meal where we had a sufficient amout of vegetables. The service was very good as well.

I'll admit it was the Series 2a Land Rover that caught my eye ,and on closer inspection there was a restaurant as well.
I had the reindeer burger (sorry kiddies if Santa's sleigh is late this Christmas ) and the wife had the veggie option and very nice they were too.

In our trips to Iceland in 2014 and 2016, we ate all of our dinners at Altafoss Cafe while staying at lovely Minna-Mosfell Guesthouse nearby. The dinners were always delicious, moderately priced, with welcoming service. It sometimes took time for the food to be served, or to be told that a dish was not available.
5. KFC

Address: KFC ehf, Haholti 9, 270 Mosfellsbaer, Iceland
Reviewed By Liam_v1 - Leeds, United Kingdom
As a KFC lovers we thought we'd try here on our first night. There was a really helpful guy working there who tried to help translate some of the combo deals. A few tips for you though if you want gravy = it's brown sauce, if you want boneless chicken, there are no combo with it, they only sell chicken strips which is boneless. All in all good service but it just did not taste like the Kfc back home but I assumed they would use the same recipe in all their chains. All food and drink is a minimum of double the UK price if not tripple in places.
6. Hviti Riddarinn
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 188 reviews
Good restaurant and bar in the heart of Mosfellsbaer. Short walk from Hotel Laxnes and next to the largest super-market chain in Iceland. Great quality food, the best place in town to watch the sports and live music on fridays. We have three large HD projectors and 4 televisions so you can enjoy your favorite sports to the fullest. Fully equipped bar with a great icelandic beer selection.

I would not recommend this place to any tourist. Wait staff was very unwelcoming (you can see the eye roll) as you first walk in which was very unprofessional. The wings were salty and the pizza was not good. Saw a couple at the next table over behind us having to get up himself to get his own napkin from behind us as the wait staff was not paying attention.
7. Grimsborgir Restaurant

Excellent food in one of the most beautiful hotels in Iceland. Focusing on local cuisine with a trendy modern touch. Very satisfying effect.
Everything was good, especially the glazed lamb shank was really amazing.
Staff consist of students mainly, so they mixed up a few things, bringing not all the desserts, including double wine on the bill, etc. But they solved it in a very elegant way. Applause.
Enjoy.

Outstanding food from local resources and mostly cooked via the natural hot steam. The fish was one of the best I have had...and I am not a fish lover. Prices match the five star so just close your eyes and enjoy the food. Portions are extremely generous. Breakfast buffet also very nice with fresh options

We approached this pizza house at 10,00 p.m. and couldn't bump into any other than pizza and soup of the day; neither fries were listed too. Kitchen was about to be closed. Even service is slow enough. Only if you are hungry!!!
