Fun Photo/Food Friday — Reykjavik Area Favorites and Eating at Hótel Skógafoss


Today I’m going to combine a Fun Photo Friday with a Fun Food Friday featuring a lunch review of the restaurant at Hótel Skógafoss in Skógar, just minutes away from on foot from the magnificent Skógafoss waterfall. We’ll start with a glance at the lunch menu at the Hótel Skógafoss Bistro and Bar:

But that menu does not show you the full selection available. There were also sandwiches, French fries, and other popular fair:

Something a bit more local, perhaps?

Yes, this is a bar as well. Don’t forget to see what they have on tap to accompany your lunch:

Jewel of the Seas — Reykjavik; Black Sand of Reynisfjara


Reynisfjara, Dyrhólaey Nature Reserve

There is much to see here at Reynisdrangar. We’ll be spending some time discussing it over the next several articles, starting today with the ink-black sand of this incredible beach and the basalt stacks that rise from its shore and the ocean.

And, yes, here’s you’ll find puffin breeding grounds on the high cliffs and seabirds accumulating on the beaches:

Birds of a Feather Flocking Together

Now let’s enjoy the beach, cliffs, and other vistas. Visually, of course. No way we were going swimming in these temperatures.
