... but one tip offered to me by a local was that almost every restaurant, even the roadside cafes at petrol stations, does a soup of the day with bread. This is not only slightly cheaper than other meals, but usually is "free refills" too just what you need when wandering about in the winter! The ones I had were also very tasty.
We have had some pretty amazing soups, some almost like stews, in some really out of the way places at these gas station / cafes. Out of the way meaning perched on the edge of an unpaved road halfway through a lave field. All made in house and all really tasty. Probably the most affordable food in Iceland IMHO.
