🇮🇸 Iceland | Far From a Food Desert

▪️🌟 11-Day Ring Road Adventure 🥬Seafood lover + soup enthusiast (me) + lamb devotee (my partner) = Icelandic food heaven!✨ 🥬Compared to Toronto’s 13% tax + 10-18% tips, Iceland’s dining prices felt reasonable.💜 🥬Pro tip: Not all restaurants accept Amex—bring multiple cards (cash not needed).✨ ▫️🌟 Sjávarpakkhúsið 📍 Hafnargata 2, Stykkishólmur (West Iceland) 🌟🌟 Book ahead! 🍺Scallop Ceviche: Sweet, buttery scallops + caviar = pure magic.✨ 🍺Mussels: Fresh but overly salty (shareable portion!).💜 🍺Wolffish: With celeriac purée (like potato mash but earthier) and horseradish cream (mild and creamy). 🍺Green Salad: Dressing perfection.✨ 🍺Verdict: So good we tried to return! Set in The Secret Life of Walter Mitty’s filming location—snap pics!✨ ▫️🌟 Narfeyrarstofa 📍 Aðalgata 3, Stykkishólmur 🍋Seafood Soup: Packed with mussels, scallops, and shrimp.💗 🍋Market Fish (Halibut): Caught Friday, served weekends—tender and flaky. 🍋Lamb: Skip it—stick to seafood here.💗 🍋Salad of the Day: Fried onions/garlic = crispy umami bomb.💗 ▫️🌟 Kaffi Illmur 📍 Hafnarstræti 107b, Akureyri 🍃Fish Soup: Tomato-based (like borscht) with a light tang—refreshing!💗 🍃Salmon Pasta: Meh. Come for the vintage vibe, stay for the soup.💗 ▫️🌟 Brynja 📍 Aðalstræti 3, Akureyri 🍃Strawberry + Oreo: "Baby Size" = giant portions (enough for two!). No artificial sugar—just real fruit tartness. 🍃Must-try: Topping bar madness!💜 #IcelandTravel #IcelandFood #AkureyriEats
