LAVA Restaurant at Blue Lagoon offers a unique dining experience. It is built into the cliff so it features a natural lava wall and the view overlooks the lagoon, adding to its uniqueness.

The chefs take pride in using fresh Icelandic ingredients and the lunch and evening menus range from light dishes to gourmet meals. Try the catch of the day, which is the freshest fish available from the near fishing village Grindavík.

During daytime the atmosphere at LAVA is more relaxed and guests frequently take breaks from bathing and visit LAVA where they can have lunch in their bathrobes.

The restaurant opens at 11:30 and orders are accepted until 21:00 in the summer (Jun-Aug) and until 20:30 in winter.
