Local Icelandic Food North Iceland

The Food Factory - Matarskemman

Matarskemman is a small food factory and takeaway kitchen in Laugar, Þingeyjarsveit.
We work closely with local farmers and producers, buying meat, fish and ingredients from the surrounding region whenever possible.

Our food is homemade, seasonal and prepared with respect for Icelandic traditions and modern cooking.

In winter we mainly cook for locals and students in the area. In summer, travelers also discover us while exploring North Iceland.

Dettfoss Food Truck

In summer you can also find us at our food truck near Dettifoss, one of Europe’s most powerful waterfalls.

There we serve a small menu focused on traditional Icelandic dishes made with local ingredients — food that fits the landscape and the journey.

It is a simple, honest food stop for thoughtful travelers exploring the north.

Dettifoss Food Truck – Local Icelandic Food

In summer, Matarskemman runs a food truck by Dettifoss – one of Iceland’s most powerful natural landmarks.

The Dettifoss food truck focuses on simple, high-quality Icelandic food made from local ingredients. This is not tourist fast food, but honest food prepared by an experienced chef with strong roots in Icelandic traditions.

Summer Food by Dettifoss

The menu at Dettifoss is smaller and more focused than in Laugar. Every dish is designed to be filling, warming, and easy to enjoy outdoors – before or after exploring the canyon and waterfall.

  • Traditional Icelandic meat soup (lamb or beef)
  • Plokkfiskur – Icelandic fish stew
  • Fish soup made with trout from a local lake
  • Icelandic hot dog
  • Rye bread with smoked salmon or smoked lamb
