Viking restaurant in iceland with a dirt roof.

At þjóðveldisbær in þjórsárdalur iceland. Fjörugarðurinn easily sits 350 guests. Two rows of high posts supported the roof and ran down the entire length of the building which could be up to 250 feet long. The innhus was for food storage sleeping and living.

Theþjóðveldisbær longhouse located in þjórsárdalur is a re creation of a typical icelandic turf house from the end of the norse era and is based on the house at stöng a shortdistance away that was covered with ash during avolcanic eruption of hekla in 1104. Where wood was scarce as in iceland longhouses were made of turf and sod. The floor of the viking longhouse was pounded earth. The owner of the restaurant is the progeny of viking.

I enjoyed lamb with wine at this viking house in the evening on oct 5. I only had coffee but my husband had a full breakfast which he said was very good. The roofs were covered in dirt to keep the heat inside the house and grass was planted in the dirt on the roof to keep it from eroding away. Here the emphasis is on the viking era and as you enter you step into the world of the past.

Very big restaurant so it is good for group or family or couple. Ingolfsskali viking is the wonderful iceland food restaurant cross to center of reykjavik. These buildings were for farming the rough steep fjords. See 326 unbiased reviews of fjorugardurinn the viking restaurant rated 4 of 5 on tripadvisor and ranked 5 of 36 restaurants in hafnarfjordur.

We are open for lunch for groups. Fjörugarðurinn the viking restaurant is open for dinner guests from 18 00 every day. We total 300 people enjoyed the good dinner together. I usually take photos of the food but i thought the environment was so interesting that i was just walking around the restaurant taking photos with the coffee mug in one hand.

The buildings for farms were split into two parts innhus and uthus.
