🇮🇸 Iceland Travel Guide (Foodie-Approved Edition)
✈️ Flights & Transport From NYC: <5h direct flight (perfect summer getaway!) Icelandair Business Class: Good food/service, but seats don’t lie flat Car Rental: 4x4 recommended (full insurance a must). Lotus is cheaper but requires a shuttle. 🏨 Hotels 1️⃣ The Edition Reykjavík Highlights: Luxe spa, mind-blowing shrimp tempura at the lobby bar (better cocktails than the rooftop!) Pro Tip: Use points for a value stay 2️⃣ Umi Hotel (South Coast) Mountain-view rooms with pastures + snowy peaks, private black sand beach Food: Breakfast buffet stars homemade rye bread (moist heaven!), but bathrooms are tiny 🍽️ Reykjavik Must-Eats 1️⃣ SKÁL! ❗️= Next-level delicious. Lunch blew us away—dinner walk-in possible but book ahead. Standouts: Hyper-fresh ingredients, artistic plating 2️⃣ Messinn "Fish Pot" = massive seafood feast (skip lunch to finish it!) Budget-friendly, easy walk-in 3️⃣ Issi Fish & Chips (Near Airport) 🥇Best fish & chips we’ve had in years—go for the Mixed plate (multiple fish textures) #Reykjavík#Messinn#Travel Guide#food#hotel#Island
