Iceland is surely one of the very best places in the world for raw seafood delicacies. But let us turn now to Icelandic lamb, which roams wild and feeds on heather, herbs and grasses throughout the summer. It is exquisite unfailingly delicious, with a taste reminiscent of game. And it is all natural and free of hormones, as are virtually all of Iceland s meat products something, which, alas, is increasingly rare throughout the world. Most, if not all, Icelandic restaurants offer lamb on their menus, prepared in any number of delectable ways.
Game is also a ubiquitous offering on restaurant menus.
Reindeer, ptarmigan, wild duck, and goose a sampling of those is widely available, when in season, as are puffin, guillemot and other sea birds. Charm, style, and fantastic cuisine may be found at Vi tj rnina, r r frakkar, the Pearl, La Primavera, Siggi Hall at insv , and L kjarbrekka. Yet this list, it should be noted, is by no means exhaustive. In the past few years, a number of ethnic restaurants have established themselves in Reykjav k. In addition to vegetarian offerings on the menus of many regular restaurants, two restaurants in downtown Reykjav k specialize in vegetarian cuisine.
