This is the most expensive restaurant I have eaten at in Reykjavik. Four dishes for two people cost more than 1,100 yuan. The tuna omelette was especially delicious. Although it felt a bit expensive, the food was pretty good and I felt much more balanced.

这是我在雷克雅未克吃的最贵的一家餐厅，两个人四道菜居然吃了1100多元，尤其是金枪鱼蛋卷，味道真的是太鲜美了，虽然感觉有些贵，但好在东西还挺不错，心里也平衡许多。

这家餐厅在雷克雅未克非常的有名，而且价格也非常的贵，不过味道真心的不错，每道菜都经过精心的设计，完美的烹饪口味相当的好，羊排，鳕鱼都非常的好吃，绝对物有所值。

This restaurant is very famous in Reykjavik and is very expensive, but the food is really good. Each dish is carefully designed and cooked perfectly, and the taste is quite good. The lamb chops and cod are very delicious and definitely worth the money.

tripadvisor 上雷市排名第五的餐厅,坐落在一座有着160年历史的老宅子里，周五的晚上座无虚席，很大一部分客人都是当地居民。餐馆气氛很好，没有一般北欧国家的清冷，冰岛人民很多都热情豪迈，声如洪钟，喜欢高声谈笑，再加上现场的钢琴弹奏真是无比热闹。点了海鲜套餐。头道海鲜汤底料很足，冰岛的汤类普遍偏咸，当主菜喝多了会齁，做头盘还是可以的。主菜鳕鱼非常鲜美，和配菜也很搭。甜点是草莓和罗勒红绿配的冰沙，配上新鲜草莓和白巧克力，很有创意，个人很喜欢。

The fifth-ranked restaurant in Shanglei City on tripadvisor is located in a 160-year-old old house. It was packed on Friday night, and a large part of the guests were local residents. The atmosphere of the restaurant is very good, not as cold as in other Nordic countries. Many Icelanders are enthusiastic and bold, with loud voices like bells, and like to talk and laugh loudly. Coupled with the live piano playing, it is really lively.
Ordered a seafood set meal. The first seafood soup base is very rich. Icelandic soups are generally salty. If you drink too much as the main course, you will choke. It is still okay as a starter. The main course cod is very delicious and goes well with the side dishes. The dessert is a strawberry and basil red and green smoothie, served with fresh strawberries and white chocolate. It is very creative and I personally like it.

This restaurant is very close to the cathedral and is very famous in Reykjavik. The dishes are a fusion of French and American cuisine, but also have unique Icelandic characteristics. The lobster wheat with a special spring roll is very delicious and worth a try.

When traveling to Iceland, this Sjavargrilled Seafood Grill is worth a visit. Their steaks are of very high quality and absolutely worth the price.

A collection of Icelandic food stores! ||| I tried almost all the restaurants recommended by netizens after my trip to Iceland, so I made a collection.
Most restaurants in the city cost about 1000💰-1500💰 to order four dishes, but you can eat your fill. It&#39;s cheaper to eat burgers or pizza in scenic spots, but it&#39;s still about 300💰 per person
1️⃣Caruso 4⭐️In the city of Leishi. I ordered lobster, lamb chops, and lasagna. The best review was the lobster, which was very fresh and sweet. The sauce of the lasagna was very special, which should be tomato meat sauce with some spices, and the amount of meat sauce was quite large. I think the lamb chops were average, a little dry, in fact, many lamb chops eaten in Iceland were average.
2️⃣ slenski barinn 2⭐️In the city of Leishi. I ordered the whale meat in the upper left corner, lobster hot dogs, and lamb soup. Whale meat is a bit like beef, not very amazing. The lobster hot dogs have more lobster flour, which is not very delicious. The mutton soup is a bit sweet and sour, just average.
3️⃣ Black Beach Service Area There is only one restaurant there that is considered to be quite satisfactory. I ordered Black Beach burgers, lamb chops, lamb soup, and vegetable soup. The vegetable soup is like potato soup, the lamb soup is very bland, the burger is a normal burger, and the lamb chops are still woody.
4️⃣ Golden Waterfall Service Area The requirements for service areas should not be too high. I ordered one beef and one chicken, which are OK, and the French fries are delicious.
5️⃣ Black Crust Pizzeria 3⭐️ Ate in the town of Vic, ordered No. 1 and No. 2 on the menu, lobster and duck, I think the seasoning is a bit salty, but the crust is quite thin.
6️⃣ Messinn 4⭐️ In the city of Lei City. Mainly eat fish, ordered wolffish, salmon, cod, and seafood pasta. The best is salmon, the fish skin is crispy and the seasoning is moderate. The wolffish is very tender, the seasoning is a bit salty but very special. The cod was mixed with cod floss and mashed potatoes, which I didn&#39;t like. The seafood pasta was too lightly seasoned.
7️⃣ Posth&uacute;s Food Hall &amp; Bar 5⭐️ in the city of Leiden. The MVP of this time!!! Everything was delicious! The cod was super tender and well seasoned. The lobster taco and seafood pasta sprinkled with cheese were super good! After trying lamb chops many times, I tried steak for the first time and it was also very good. The mashed potatoes on top were full of milk flavor, and all the dishes were cleaned!
8️⃣ Fish Company 3⭐️ and a half in the city of Leiden. The cream lobster soup was super salty, no! The cod was not as good as the previous one. But the lamb chops were the best I had in Iceland! The daily catch in the lower right corner was also good!
9️⃣ Grillmarkao urinn3⭐️ in the city of Leiden. For the last meal, I thought I would eat something special since I was here. I ordered puffin meat, which was really 🤢. The venison was acceptable but not very tasty, not as good as the ones made in China. The lamb skewers were said to be Sichuan style, but they were just a little spicy. The salmon was quite sweet, but the mashed potatoes were still delicious. I have to say that Icelanders really make the most of potatoes.

Hi~ sisters, I just came back from Iceland with my friends, and I want to share my true feelings!

👉This time I went with Tuan. I saw a lot of posts saying to avoid pitfalls with Tuan, and I was scared to look for guides everywhere. After going there, I finally let go of the worries.
-
🙋🏼&zwj;♀️Let me talk about my feelings first:
I stayed in Iceland for 6 days, and it was so beautiful that I didn&rsquo;t want to come back!
-
⚠️Iceland lightning avoidance &amp; experience sharing:
1⃣️Iceland is windy, bring more windproof and warm equipment
2⃣️Prepare a pair of waterproof sports shoes or hiking shoes, which are essential for black sand beaches and glacier hikes
3⃣️Tie your hair up when soaking in hot springs, otherwise it will look like &quot;dry grass&quot;
4⃣️Remember to bring a raincoat when watching the waterfall, as it is easy to get wet by the mist when approaching
5⃣️Local shops and supermarkets close early, make a list before departure and buy everything at once
6⃣️Souvenirs at the service area are expensive and average, don&#39;t buy them impulsively
-
🗒️Overview of the itinerary:
Arrival in Reykjavik &rarr; Seljalandsfoss &rarr; Skogafoss &rarr; Plane wreckage &rarr; Black sand beach &rarr; Vik Church &rarr; Feather Canyon &rarr; Glacier Lake &rarr; Glacier hike &rarr; Indirect Spring &rarr; Whale watching/Blue Lagoon Hot Spring/Icelandic horse riding
The 6-day arrangement is reasonable, not a special forces-style itinerary, and the experience is great!
-
🚗Transportation:
The whole trip was in a business car, with one seat per person, and the driver drove very steadily (I was prone to motion sickness, but I didn&#39;t get motion sick). After a brief explanation at the scenic spot, we were allowed to move freely.
-
🏨Accommodation:
Hotels in Iceland are generally expensive. The hotels we stayed in were all good, and it was very convenient to travel.
-
📍I don&#39;t know why everyone is prejudiced against traveling with a group. Choosing a small group of less than 8 people is reliable and easy, and the comfort and experience are much better❗️
**Iceland Travel Diary** 
**Date: April 1, 2025** 
**Weather: Sunny to cloudy, the wind is so strong that it seems to blow people away**

### **Day 1: Reykjavik-the end of the world, starting with a bowl of mutton soup** 
Arriving at Keflavik Airport in the early morning, the cold air instantly sobered people up. Rented a four-wheel drive and headed straight to the city of Reykjavik. 

**Hallgrimskirkja** is like a rocket taking off. After climbing to the top, you can overlook the whole city: colorful roofs, snow-capped mountains in the distance, and the lead-gray North Atlantic Ocean, lonely and lively. For lunch, I drank the legendary Icelandic lamb soup at **Old Iceland Restaurant**. The rich aroma warmed the stomach and instantly cured the fatigue of the long-distance flight. 

In the afternoon, I visited **Tornin Lake**. The swans and ducks were not afraid of people at all, and even arrogantly blocked the road to beg for food. In the evening, I went to the **Sun Voyager** sculpture. The metal skeleton glowed coldly in the sunset. I felt like I was standing on the bow of a Viking ship. 

**Tips**: 
- The wind is really strong! Scarves and windproof jackets are life-saving artifacts. 
- Parking fees in the city are expensive, so it is recommended to pay in advance using the App.

### **Day 2: Golden Circle - Volcanoes, waterfalls and cracks** 
Today&#39;s highlight is the three major attractions of the **Golden Circle**: 
1. **Thingvellir National Park**: Standing between the cracks of the Eurasian and American plates, the lake water is so clear that you want to jump in (but the water temperature is only 4℃). 
2. **Geysir Geyser**: Erupts every 5-10 minutes, with a strong smell of sulfur, and the onlookers exclaim collectively every time. 
3. **Golden Waterfall**: Water mist hits your face, rainbows span the canyon, and it&#39;s shocking to the point of being speechless. 

Stay at **H&oacute;tel Geysir** at night, with wasteland and ponies outside the window. After soaking in the hotel&#39;s geothermal hot springs, I looked up and saw the aurora dancing in the night sky - so lucky! 

**Tips**: 
- Be careful of burns when the geyser erupts, and you will get wet if you stand downwind. 
- Use the &quot;Aurora Forecast&quot; App to predict the aurora, and the probability is high when there are few clouds.

### **Day 3: South Coast - The Dark Aesthetics of Black Sand Beach and Glacier** 
Going south, the scenery becomes wilder. 
- **Seljalandsfoss**: You can walk behind the water curtain, like walking through the Water Curtain Cave in &quot;Journey to the West&quot; (remember to wear waterproof clothing). 
- **Skogafoss**: The rainbow hangs there all year round, and it is suspected to be the entrance to the barrier in Norse mythology. 
- **Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach**: The basalt columns are like giant organ pipes, the waves are like ink, and it looks like the end of the world on cloudy days. The tour guide repeatedly warned: &quot;Don&#39;t turn your back to the sea!&quot; (The rip current has swept away tourists.) 

In the evening, watch the sunset at the red-roofed church in **Vik Town**, and the cottage at the foot of the mountain looks like a forgotten building block. 

---

### **Day 4: Glacier Lagoon and Diamond Beach - Tears of the Glacier** 
**J&ouml;kuls&aacute;rl&oacute;n Glacier Lagoon**, the floating ice is shining blue, and seals are poking their heads out among the broken ice. We took a boat to touch the thousand-year-old glacier. The guide broke off a piece of ice for us to taste: &quot;This is the taste of 1200 AD.&quot; (Pure, no bubbles, and crunchy.) 

On the opposite **Diamond Beach**, ice cubes were polished into diamond shapes by the waves, scattered on the black sand, and sparkled in the sun. Nature is the most luxurious jeweler. 

---

### **Last day: Blue Lagoon Hot Spring and Farewell** 
Soaked in **Blue Lagoon** until my fingers wrinkled. A silica mud mask covered my face, and I drank an iced strawberry milkshake while watching the snow-capped mountains - Icelanders know how to enjoy themselves! 

On the return flight, I flipped through the photos: volcanoes, aurora, glaciers, waterfalls... This land seems to be enchanted, and even loneliness has an epic feeling. 

**Next wish list**: 
- Winter ice cave exploration 
- Puffins in the Westfjords 
- Pretend to be in the inland highlands of the moon 

**Iceland, we&#39;ll see you under the aurora. ** 

--- 
**Postscript**: 
- Expenses: about 25,000 per person (air tickets + car rental + mid-range accommodation). 
- Essential items: waterproof shoes, power bank (power runs out quickly in cold weather), motion sickness medicine (some mountain roads are so bumpy that you doubt your life). 
- Summary in one sentence: &quot;This place is like an alien planet, but the food there may not be this delicious.&quot;

The sea baron&#39;s delicious lobster soup with Icelandic skewers is a special experience. The overall taste is salty. The first time I tried whale meat was unforgettable. It felt like I was eating only 60% cooked pork liver, which was not tasty!
