Icelandic cuisine with breathtaking glacier views
Frost Restaurant offers the rare opportunity to enjoy fresh Icelandic cuisine while gazing at Vatnajökull Glacier through panoramic windows. Located at Fjallsárlón Glacier Lagoon, this self-service restaurant combines comfort food with one of Iceland's most dramatic backdrops.
Whether you're warming up after a boat tour, refueling before a glacier hike, or simply taking a break on your Ring Road journey, Frost Restaurant provides a welcoming atmosphere with glacier views you won't find anywhere else.
Frost Restaurant operates as a self-service establishment, allowing you to browse options at your own pace and choose exactly what appeals to you. This casual format keeps prices reasonable while maintaining quality.
The restaurant's large windows showcase Vatnajökull Glacier in all its glory. During your meal, you'll watch the ice cliff of Fjallsjökull Glacier and may even spot icebergs floating in the lagoon. It's one of the few places in Iceland where you can dine with such an extraordinary natural backdrop.
After spending time outdoors in Iceland's sometimes harsh climate, Frost Restaurant provides a warm, welcoming space to rest and recharge. The interior is modern and clean, with ample seating for individuals and groups.

"The lamb soup was perfect after our boat tour. The views through the windows are incredible—you're literally eating with a glacier as your backdrop."

"Great place to warm up and refuel. Prices are fair for Iceland, and the self-service makes it quick. The hot chocolate is a must!"

"Less crowded than the restaurants at Jökulsárlón, and the view is just as good. Highly recommend the fish of the day."
