Perched atop a series of high-seat pillars in the midst of a remote lava field where Mount Hengill and Thingvellir National Park converge, this restaurant with its double-height floor to ceiling windows, offers unobstructed views of breathtaking Lake Thingvallavatn and, when conditions are just right, the intensely vivid dancing lights of the north.
Natural and recycled materials and sustainable practices have been used extensively throughout the comfortable lounge. Chairs and couches are built from recycled wood. Tables from reclaimed pallets. While hanging lights created from recycled corrugated cardboard illuminate the bar and lounge area.
The modest de?cor of this bar and lounge, with its use of natural light and panoramic views, creates a sense of harmony with the world outside. Here there are no boundaries between the modern adventurer and the many wonders of this mystical place we call Iceland.
