The Old Farmhouse Café

Step into Icelandic history at this charming café, run by local sheep farmers in a beautifully restored farmhouse. Enjoy homemade soup, traditional baked treats, and browse farm-made wool crafts and meat products from the Brjánslækur farm. Don’t miss the geology exhibit downstairs or the guided hike through the nearby protected Surtarbrandsgil canyon. A great stop before or after the ferry to Stykkishólmur—just 500 meters from the harbor.
