Efstidalur Farm
Efstidalur
A family dairy farm on the Golden Circle where you can eat homemade ice cream while watching the cows through glass. The upstairs restaurant serves farm-raised beef burgers.
Efstidalur is a family farm between Laugarvatn and Geysir. Its ice cream shop uses fresh milk from the farm's own pastures, and glass windows let you see straight into the cowshed. The upstairs restaurant serves homegrown beef burgers, cheese and Icelandic yogurt (skyr). The farm also offers accommodation and horseback riding. It lies beside Route 37, very close to Brúarfoss, and is generally open during the day. It makes a good lunch or dessert stop midway along the Golden Circle.
Opening hours
About 11:00–21:00
