More addresses in Iceland




Here are a few more addresses in Reykjavik and its whereabouts.

 Graenn Kostur - The oldest vegetarian restaurant in Reykjavik.

The place looks unassuming, and also the food. But, the spinach quiche was amazing, and so was the burrito. And very filling too! But, our eyes were still hungry so we tried the no-bake desserts. There were some interesting flavors, and definitely good chocolate, but I would stick to savory in this restaurant.

The three savory dishes were 5300 Icelandic Krona (i.e., 27 pounds). I do not remember what we paid for the dessert. But, this was the most economical dinner we had in Iceland.


Icelandair Hotel Marina - Slipp Bar



We went here for both brunch and dinner. It was a surprise find, that we stumbled on while strolling along the marina. And, on top of it we were not hungry - just wanted to have coffee and cake, but ended up eating an open buffet brunch!!! That is how persuading the food was. The brunch for three people costed around 8900 Icelandic kronas (i.e., 45 pounds) for three.(More info here)


The stop in the Golden circle tour, run by Reykjavik Excursions:
The stop was in the Geysir part. Here, Steve ate the most elegantly presented salmon plate, and I had a tasty soup, which gave me all the nourishment I needed for the rest of the tour.


In summary, Iceland gave us plenty of happiness, and very fresh food. In Iceland, energy is free - so they invested in lots of green houses, which give them fresh produce.
The tomato greenhouse owner said that the tomatoes they pack in the morning are in the grocery stores in the afternoon! :D
