The liveliest place in town is this beloved cafe-bar (slammed in summer). Its wide-ranging
menu offers soups, salads, pizzas and burgers - but understandably plays favourites with
local trout and lamb.

The well-stocked tourist office is inside the Skaftárstofa information centre, with good loc-
al info plus coverage and exhibitions on Katla Geopark and Vatnajökull National Park.
There's also a short film on the Laki eruption. Look for the 'farmers market' in the same
building, selling local food and handicrafts.
