Tryggvaskála's actually worth stopping for. This new restaurant (the brainchild of the Kaffi
Krús guys) fills Selfoss' first house (built for bridge workers in 1890). Lovingly renovated
and on the riverfront with a romantic mood, the intimate dining rooms are filled with an-
tique touches, and the fine-dining Icelandic menu sources local produce.

The 'coffee mug' is a popular cafe in a charming old house along the main road. There's
outdoor space and a large selection of Icelandic and international dishes from nachos to
pasta.
