🇮🇸 Iceland Food Diary: One Week of Delicious Adventures

📍 Reykjavík (Book Ahead!) 1️⃣ Messinn 🍽 Nordic seafood at its best 🔥 Must-order: ☕️Arctic char (buttery perfection) ☕️Seafood pasta (creamy but distinct from Norwegian salmon soup) ⚠️ Fish soup is salty/briny – not for everyone! 2️⃣ Caruso 🦞 Italian with Icelandic twist ☕️Star dish: Whole lobster (springy texture + rich butter sauce) ☕️Also good: Grilled lamb chops (according to neighbors) 🍪Skip: Seafood risotto & beef carpaccio (just average) 3️⃣ Sjávargrillið 🌟 Lobster tacos stole the show! 🍪Ordered two rounds – that good! 🍪Also loved: Smoked salmon pasta & sashimi 🍞 Bonus: Their bread & butter combo is pack-worthy 🍩 Quick Bites 🥪Brauð & Co: Classic Nordic cinnamon rolls (sweet, buttery – ideal with coffee) 🥪Icelandic Street Food: Lamb soup in bread bowl (decent intro to local flavors) 🚗 Beyond Reykjavík 🌭 Glacier Lagoon Hot Dog 🥪Overhyped! Only the lobster dog was okay. Soup = too salty. 🐟 MAR Seafood (Selfoss) 🥪Adventurous picks: ⭐️Arctic char tartare (fresh!) ⭐️Cod tongues (gelatinous, collagen-rich) ⭐️Avoid: Their seafood soup/pasta (weird aftertaste) #IcelandFood #ReykjavikEats #TravelIceland
