Personal favourite, it's one of the more affordable restaurants in Selfoss (by Iceland standards) and has a wide array of food available. The servings here are huge :-)
It would be an opportunity to walk by the riverside to get to it, operates between 8AM and 8PM.

I've heard wonderful reviews about this place but I'm yet to try it. Guests who've been there say that the food is and I quote "sublime". Make an appointment prior to going there and be sure to include a tour of the farm/ greenhouses.
Try this when you're on your way home from the Golden Circle tour as it's a distance from Selfoss (around half an hour away).

Like Yellow and Tryggvaskáli this is also a walking distance from your home (You can walk by the river bank). It can get quite busy but like all the others on this list the food is fresh.
It's a very cosy restaurant with reasonable prices and the service is quite quick. It operates between 10AM and 10PM
