Reykjavik (IS)
Perfect final breakfast experience in Iceland – if you’re patient: Restaurant Sandholt (22. August 2024)
Given the dining experience the previous evening, I decided to have one last interesting brunch experience before leaving Iceland and went to Reykjavík before take off to have breakfast at the Sandholt. And upon arrival I was rather surprised that at 8.50am you would have to queue for about 20 minutes until you get a […]
Rather average lunch experience before boarding the Whale Watching tour: Restaurant Höfnin (18. August 2024)
Sometimes when you’re in a hurry, it doesn’t end up in the very best of all food experiences. The Höfnin was close to the place I had to board the expedition for Whale Watching, so, I figured, I’ll give this a try, since it had a relatively good rating on Google. However, I figured, quickly, […]
A Michelin star worth exploring, when you’re in Iceland: Restaurant Dill (17. August 2024)
It wasn’t entirely easy to find a Michelin starred restaurant in Reykjavík on short notice, but luckily, I was able to score the Dill for a 9.30pm booking. I decided to go for the “Tasting Menu” (23’500 ISK) with the “Wine Pairing” (17’500 ISK), which turned out much better than I had expected (since there […]
Mentioned in The World’s 50 Best Bars – I wouldn’t agree: Jungle Cocktail Bar (17. August 2024)
The Jungle Cocktail Bar is mentioned on The World’s 50 Best Bars, and I must say I was about to say, yeah, this is possible after the first drink. But that impression changed once I had gone for more. I started with the “Jungle Club (Gimlet, Citrusy & Fresh; Beefeater Gin, Aperol, Grapefruit, acidified orange […]
A first stab at authentic Icelandic cuisine, but with the touristy touch: Restaurant Apotek (17. August 2024)
The Apotek had been recommended to me by two people individually, so, I decided to give it a try, and it was a good decision to do so. It started with “sourdough bread with truffle butter” and I must admit that the bread was actually quite delicious. And the truffle butter wasn’t too bad either. […]
Decent breakfast experience if you decide to stay at the hotel: Kitchen & Bar @ Courtyard Reykjavik Keflavik Airport (17. August 2024)
The breakfast selection (3’600 ISK) at the Courtyard Reykjavík Keflavik Airport is decent, but definitely far from exciting. You get a little bit of everything, which ranges from cereals, to cold cuts, to yogurts, to cheese, and ultimately some fruit juices – and for the price, that’s actually okay. The place is functional and generally […]
