We went out for 2 meals in Reykjavik. The first meal was at Thrir Frakkar Hja Ulfari (Address: Baldursgotu 14, Telephone: 552 3939 ). This was a small cozy restaurant in the middle of a residential neighbourhood. Prices were outrageous, but apparently were very reasonable for Iceland. The restaurant featured a lot of local dishes – Ian had puffin as an appetizer, and the most delicious salmon he has ever had as a main course. Wendy had a vegetarian meal which was also excellent.

Our second meal was at One Woman Restaurant (20b Laugavegur 552 8410). This was a self-serve vegetarian restaurant located along the main strip. Prices were a lot more reasonable here. The dishes were flavourful and filling, although they were not fresh. The restaurant is on the second floor and offers good people watching below. Of course, this being Iceland (even in the summer) everyone seemed to be scurrying to get to their destination. The atmosphere is relaxed and open, with interesting vegetable and fruit artwork up on the walls.

Well, we saw a lot in a two day visit. Despite the miserable weather and our exhaustion on the first day, we had a great time. We couldn’t have afforded to stay more than two days, but there also wasn’t too much more to do around the capital.
