Eating in Iceland

Posted by (Seattle, WA) on

Well this is my first post to the forum after years of following along! Hopefully there are some Iceland travelers out there...

My husband and I are visiting Reykjavík in the beginning of May, and we'll be staying at the CenterHotel Thingholt at Thingholtsstraeti 3-5, apparently right in the center of town.

While I eat some seafood and normally don't have an aversion to it, my husband doesn't eat any. Does anyone have any recommendations for great restaurants (price not really a factor, though it would be great not to break the bank) that offers some non-seafood dishes? We have Lonely Planet's Iceland book, but we'd rather have personal recommendations as to what's good and what's not.

Any thoughts would be much appreciated!

Reykjavik has a feel of a small town. We liked particularly 2 restaurants. Unfortunately I don't remember their names or names of streets they were on. Icelandic is a very difficult language. Pakistani restaurant - it is close to Visitor Center. They would know. The other is on the street leading from downtown to the biggest Lutheran Cathedral there (at least I think so). It is somewhat upscale Icelandic restaurant and I had a very good lamb meat there. I think people in Visitor Center would be able to navigate you to that one, too. I am sure they can advise you about other restaurants, too. By the way Iceland is in Europe.
