The centre has a unique gift shop set into the lava and you feel like you are walking in a canyon. The food is pricey but delicious. The lunch buffet was reasonable, lots of good and fresh food. The homemade bread was so good you had to be careful you didn't fill up on that alone.

The restaurant is in the centre, so while waiting for food I browsed around and read up on the sagas a bit. Their meat of the day was horse and the fish was tusk. Both were... More

There didn't appear to be many restaurants available at Borgarnes, so we decided to visit the Settlement Centre. On first impression, it appeared to be somewhat of a tourist trap. However, the meals themselves were reasonably tasty. The lobster pasta was..ok, the lobster salad wasn't as good, and the beef burger was..ok too. All this was rather expensive for the... More

Focused on the remains of an early Icelandic house from pre 871AD, this exhibition gives a really interesting insight into teh ancient way of life.
