Vogahraun 4 in Myvatn

This adorable restaurant is set in the most idyllic location on a working farm, with gorgeous views of Lake Mývatn. It’s a must-visit for us whenever we are anywhere near North Iceland.

Tucked inside a cozy converted cowshed (which is exactly as charming as it sounds), the restaurant specializes in fresh, farm-to-table, homemade local food, including smoked lamb, smoked trout, homemade cheese, homemade pastries, Geysir bread (baked underground using geothermal heat), and, of course, meat from their own farm. Over the years, we have tried almost everything on the menu — from hamburgers to soups to desserts — but the lamb is always our favorite. It’s incredibly tender and perfectly seasoned every time.

Our kids absolutely love it here. There’s something magical about enjoying a warm, cozy meal while watching the sun set over the farm and the cows being milked just a few steps away in the shed. We’ve even gotten to visit the cows both inside the shed and outside, which makes the experience even more special.

The restaurant also has a small boutique country store featuring Icelandic handcrafted art and traditional goods. They also offer guesthouses if you want to stay the night and fully enjoy the peaceful farm setting. It’s a place that perfectly captures the warmth, charm, and simple beauty of Icelandic farm life.

After almost 10 years of living nearby went there for the first time with my son. It is very lovely restaurant on the country side with amazing views and cows which were visible through the window. It is also possible to go inside the cows barn and pet them. Altough my son was to affraid to pet them I find this experience super good. The food and service also top class. One of the best lamb I have ever tasted on iceland. Prices are not too big. As a restaurator myself highly recommend! Deffinietley coming back there !

A lovely stay. Big yet cozy room, spacey for iceland standard. The food is very good - very generous breakfast spread. We also had dinner there, everything was terrific - even the arctic char! The smoked Lamb was something special 🥰

Went for some food at the restaurant. Everything came out quickly and was delicious. The menu had enough options for any person eating there. We got the beef burger, thr vogafós Special, and a happy marriage cake. All items for the special was light and delicious. The salad is made with kale. There is a little gift shop there. The wool is really nicely made. And you can go in and see the cows on their farm.

Just by Lake Myvatn, we had dinner here. Everything we ordered was great - the lamb chop, burger, et al.
They have a dairy adjoining the dining area and one can go in to see the cows and calves.

In a smaller place like Lake Myvatn, this place is definitely worth eating at.
