When we were in Iceland in February – we stayed in Reykjavik the whole time. We had great choice of places to eat – there was a decent amount of good vege food – the restuarant Joi and Sonja recommended – Hornith, was fabulous - so we ate there twice.
We hunted round for fresh fish – and all we could find was lobster or saltfish. We expected loads of good fish – haddock, plaice, sea salmon etc. as Reykjavik is on the coast and has a huge harbour.
This time we are staying near the South Coast near Thorlakshofn, and apparently the best seafood restaurant is nearby. It specialises in lobster which we don’t like and anyway is fearsomely expensive! As for vegetarian food – that may be more of a challenge.
To save money and to make sure we will get food Pen can eat (Pen eats no mammal meat or derivatives) we plan to shop in Hveragerthi as it is a town not far from where we are staying – we will buy plenty of lunch food and snacks. We’ll let you know what food is available in the evenings eating out. We could eat in the hotel we believe.
