What about dining in the countryside and the city? . It is our first trip there. Thank you. Sun Oct 22 17:32:50 -0700 2006 22620 DaisyM 1 1965792 I've never had a bad hot dog in Iceland. PULSAR! is the word to look for . . . Get it with everything - the mustardymayo and crispy onions. You can buy hot dogs (and frozen leg of lamb) at the airport to take home --they are a legal declarable import to the USA. The hot dog stand at the bus station is legendary, but really, the truck outside the regional swimming pool, or the tiny one tucked in one of those shopping streets leading down to the main plaza are all fab. I would avoid Asian cuisine in Iceland at all costs, unless something has changed in the past year. We were looking for something a little different after a long trip in Europe and the Thai food we tried was practically inedible. I love Iceland -- been several times over the years. Have a great time!

The best restaurant in Reykjavik at the moment is called Seafood Cellar in English http://www.sjavarkjallarinn.is/english.htm It's Asian-influenced using many local ingredients. For more traditional Icelandic seafood and lamb, try Siggi Hall, Tveir Fiskar, Thrir Frakkar or Humarhusid (Lobster House) Wed Oct 25 08:12:38 -0700 2006 1964154 12194 AgnesGooch
