Kol has a lovely, modern Icelandic feel and serves some of the best cocktails and food in Iceland.

The menu is varied and service friendly and attentive. The homemade lemonade […]
Iceland is renowned for fishing so it is a must to savour some of the fresh fish by the old harbour. The Reyjkavik Fish Restaurant is in the Old Harbour area. It’s a nautically themed and the breaded cod and chips are the gem on the menu. The batter was light and crispy and the meal itself […]
After a day exploring Reyjkavik, Café Babulu is a stone throw from the Hallgrimskirkja Church. The quaint establishment is adorned with interesting objects that looked like they were collected from all over the world over numerous years.

The menu is mouthwatering. It’s a tough choice deciding between the decadent desserts. Chocolate fondants are a guilty pleasure but even more so when […]
