Salt Café & Bistro

Opened in 2013 in the centre of Egilsstaðir, Salt Café & Bistro is one of the most budget-friendly and approachable places to eat in East Iceland’s main service town. The kitchen turns out wood-fired pizzas, stacked burgers, fish and chips, salads and a daily selection of cakes and coffee, with vegetarian and vegan options on the menu.

The emphasis is on a light, family-friendly atmosphere and a varied menu where most travellers will find something they like. Its central location and long daily hours make it a reliable lunch or dinner stop when crossing the region.
