Simply Café
About
Simply Café, on Iceland, keeps its doors open every day from 10:00 to 21:00, a schedule that suits travellers working around the island's long summer daylight. The venue sits at Plássið Laugarbrekku in Hellnar, 356 Snæfellsbær, placing it on the western side of the country. First-time visitors should expect a straightforward stop rather than a city-style dining room, with the surrounding countryside setting the pace.
Guests have pushed Simply Café to 4.9 out of 5 across 145 reviews, one of the strongest showings for a restaurant on the island. Full details sit at https://www.simplythewest.is/. Reaching Hellnar means leaving the ring-road towns behind and heading west, and the drive from Reykjavik, Akureyri, Vik, Hofn, Selfoss, Keflavik, Husavik or Isafjordur takes in some of Iceland's most varied country. The setting places Simply Café on the western edge of Iceland rather than in the capital region.
Summers bring near-continuous daylight, and winters are dark, so a meal here fits naturally into a day built around the light. Icelandic is spoken throughout, a North Germanic language close to Old Norse.
Þorrablót, a midwinter feast of traditional food, is celebrated on Icelandic islands in January or February, giving visitors a reason to plan a cold-season trip around local customs.
