Food Style? Traditional Icelandic
I tried coming here a few days ago, but this small cosy restaurant was fully booked and had no space even for single diner me. I made a reservation and here I am, back again, hoping for a solid Icelandic meal experience.
Entree
Cured Salmon - picked cucumber, dill mayo, dulse and microgreens
Deliciously fresh, well seasoned and has that lovely acidity and sweetness from the cucumber pickle. The greens balance out the creamy sauce perfectly. Great starter!
Mains
Fillet of Lamb and Slow Cooked Shoulder - artichokes, carrots, beetroot, potatoes and demi-glace
Lots of well seasoned root vegetables and rich sauce with a swirl of cream, this is a classic winter dish. Very hearty and comforting given today's awful weather. The lamb is nicely cooked, pink in the middle, and is succulent and tender, but the fat could be rendered a bit more.
Dessert
Brownie - caramel sauce, roasted oats, vanilla ice cream and strawberries
Again, great comfort food, very homely. Decadent chocolate brownie with lots of fresh fruit to cut through that richness and oats for that added crunch. What looks like a slice of capsicum is actually a large strawberry. In hindsight, I should've ordered a dessert wine with this but I'm satisfied nevertheless.
The meal cost me 7990 ISK, or "$79.90", which is on par with how expensive everything is in Iceland, but I am quite full and happy to have had an enjoyable last meal here in Reykjavik.
