(Café Cow)
The restaurant is located in the loft area above the cow barn at Garður farm.
You can watch the cows through a glass viewing point from the restaurant. There is also a TV monitor where you can see what is going on, e.g. milking of the cows, which is a 24/7 operation and is done by a milking robot. Guests are allowed to go into the barn, pet the calves and breath in the aroma of the countryside. Exploring the countryside is always rewarding. Come by and enjoy coffee and waffles with whipped cream at our café.
