🇮🇸 Iceland's Must-Try Restaurants

📍 Reykjavík 🍽️ Apotek Restaurant 🌟Fine dining with stunning plating – their desserts (shared portions!) are art on a plate Starter: 🌟Salmon on apple slices, served in a hollowed salt block (gets saltier over time – eat fast!) 🌟Perfect pairing: Crisp apple + fatty salmon = texture heaven 🌟Main Course Decision: 🌟Debated between: 1️⃣ Chef’s Traditional Icelandic Tasting Menu (featuring legendary local lamb) 🥃 Regular à la carte 🥃Final Choice: Went traditional – zero regrets! Every dish surprised us, but... 💡 Pro Tip: First-timers should try the regular menu to ease into Icelandic flavors. 🌟Book ahead – always packed! ☕ Hygge Coffee & Miro Bakery 🌟Cozy spot for cardamom buns + specialty coffee (grab takeout if crowded) 📍 Snæfellsnes Peninsula 🌊 Bjargarsteinn Mathus 🏠Ocean-view terrace + photogenic dishes (lunch = quieter) 📍 Egilsstaðir 🦞 Kjot & Fiskur (Fresh Fish Shack) 🏠Hidden gem: Buttery lobster + salmon (bring bread for sauce-dipping!) 🏠Local vibe: Eat at outdoor counters (summer only) 📍 Akureyri 🍞 Brauðgerðarhus Akureyrar 🍜Follow your nose to this factory-bakery 🍜Must-buy: Cranberry sourdough loaf (perfect sweet-savory balance) #IcelandEats #FoodieAdventure #ReykjavikDining
