Dining in Iceland

We have a lot of great local seafood in Iceland and enjoy every meal.  The day before our cruise, we dine at Tides restaurant in our hotel (next to the Harpo Concert Hall), starting with 1000 Day Aged Feykir Cheese Salad (with endives, pickled pears, walnut dressing, brioche croutons) and Nordic Seed Salmon Tataki (with angelica, wasabi pickled salad, rye bread, horseradish-dill cream), followed by Lobster Ravioli (lemon and feykir ravioli with north american lobster, bisque), Grilled Artic Char (with creamy beetroot, pickled rasberries, endives, and radicchio), and Cod from the Westfjords (with green pea puree, grilled baby carrots, clams, and white wine velouté).

And, appropriately, ending our trip simply with traditional meat soup at the Viking World Museum.

We dine truly well in Iceland, with a main theme of fish, supplemented by a few delicious meat dishes.
