About Gamli Bærinn

Icelandic food for lunch and dinner is the offer at Gamli Bærinn in the Mývatn area of North Iceland. Mývatn draws a steady stream of travellers through the north, and places serving proper meals in the area are limited, which makes a straightforward Icelandic kitchen here genuinely useful.

Anyone circling Lake Mývatn — Dimmuborgir, the Námafjall steam fields, the nature baths — spends a full day on their feet, and a warm plate close to the sights saves a long detour. This is the meal you build a Mývatn day around rather than one you stumble upon, and it earns its place by being where the driving already takes you.
