Kaffi Duus
Duusgata 10
Locally owned and established in 1997, this sit-down restaurant has served many visitors traditional Icelandic cuisine.
If you plan to have a larger group eat together, we advise calling ahead for a reservation.
Grill 66 at the Olís station
This gas station/diner combo is just down the road from the church on Fitjabakki 2-4.
For breakfast, this newer restaurant carries bacon, eggs, toast, and coffee.
They also serve delicious hamburger meals and traditional Icelandic hotdogs.
Sigurjóns Bakari
This bakery carries traditional Icelandic pastries, breads, and sandwiches. Because it opens at 7:00 on weekdays, it's a great place for breakfast.
Dining in
We will have hot coffee each morning by 8:00 for anyone who wants to come early. The coffee will be "heitt a könnunni," hot and ready all day long.
Our FBC church family will provide lunch on the grounds during the conference. Feel free to eat that or sample some of our local shops and restaurants.
The reception hall will be open during the week of the homecoming. Feel free to shop at local places and bring the food back to the church to enjoy fellowship before or after services.
For those who will not be touring during the off hours, feel free to play games, fellowship, sing, and reminisce in the building!
