I found the Lemmy bar in Reykjavik, Iceland!

I couldn't find a more appropriate place to post this. It's a bar in Reykjavik. Cool place, would recommend.

How is Iceland? Always heard good things!

Great so far! There are a ton of fellow tourists and it's a bit pricey, but it's beautiful and the people are very nice. Plus where else can you eat a puffin?

Why the fuck would you eat a puffin?? 😭 I was about to ask how the food is but that kinda answered it

Eating both of those sounds pretty fucking metal

My friends (one of whom was vegetarian until fairly recently) went to Iceland recently and said that puffin was absolutely delicious

Bit pricey is quite the understatement.

SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 1 pts · 1y (3 replies)

It helps that we're from a high cost of living area. Honestly, we're paying less to eat out here than where we live. The tourism industry is absolutely gouging, though, and I hate what that's doing to the economy for locals.

Bruh where the hell do you live. I live in sweden currently and the next time im going to iceland i will unironically bring food with myself because its so expensive. Its interesting because the plane tickets and hotels arent even that expensive if you book them right. Tho next time i might try camping or going with a house car or what they call it.

Didnt know it was so bad there...

SuperApples@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 1y (2 replies)

a bit pricey

Look on the map for Bónus supermarkets, I found them to be the best value but with a good range of stuff to try. I thought the rye bread (Rúgbrauð) and skyr were particularly delicious in Iceland.

Yeah, if you're there for more than a week, it's probably worth getting accommodation with some sort of cooking facilities. Otherwise you're eating out every day and that gets expensive real fast.

On our trip a few years back we got some simple pastries, sandwich supplies, and snacks from Bonus to save money and I never felt like we were missing out on good food. Even as a discount grocer everything we got from there was super good.

The burgers are always great all over Iceland, although they certainly know how to charge for them...

I always make a trip to Hlöllabátar in the little concrete square down the end of the main street.

I highly recommend the lobster soup from Seabaron if you're into that

SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 2 pts · 1y

I'm totally into that, we'll check it out. Thank you for the recommendation!

Bahnd@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 1y

Well you see, the Vikings discovered Iceland and Greenland and named them accordingly.

My dream is that if the nordic league ever develops a space program and creates a colony on mars, they should name it Blueland just to keep up with the bit.

Make sure you get a hotdog from one of the food trucks downtown and try going to grocery stores if you want to save money

I bet they serve drinks that are ALMOST like the drinks you remember back home, but not quite....

Also.....everyone is doing some linux fuckery on a laptop, so they have no idea how to order milk without wearing a cape.

I'll have the Appelsín. It's like Tango used to be before they took most of the sugar out of it and replaced it with sweeteners.
