Freysnesi - Skaftafell

What a delight to discover this reasonably priced, very friendly, casual eatery serving delicious local fare at the back of a gas convenience store! The gregarious chef plating his home made creations like Swedish Meatballs behind the food counter changes some menu items daily, and it’s all scrumptious. Very popular, and rightfully so. THE place to stock up on road trip excursion snacks.

1. I asked a worker for the price of the water because the place does not label their products with the price and she looked at me like I was dumb and said you can scan it to find out and rolled her eyeballs at me in a mocking way 2. I was waiting for my food to arrive, and a different lady randomly approached me and ordered me to leave and kick me out, accusing me of “loitering” while I was waiting for my food to come. She was rude, accusatory, and did not apologize. Overall: very rude staff who probably hate their lives do not come here

We had the home cooked lasagne which was amazing. All food cooked fresh to order, wide grill menu with 2 daily home cooked specials. A great place to stop and eat after a day exploring the National Park.

We had two vegan burgers with pommes for about 25€. If you eat, it comes with a soda. Burgers and Pommes were fine. If you are really hungry after a snowy day of hiking and driving, then it is absolutelyley good. They also serve a vegan soup. The station also has a little business and sells some other vegan products, I discovered ores and other vegan cookies, oat milk in the refrigerator.

Beautiful gas station with a cool view of the mountain.
