Við Tjörnina Cookbook



Pamplemousse was dying to see the cookbook that I bought from Við Tjörnina, the best restaurant I ate at in Reykjavik hands down in terms of atmosphere and value for money. They also had an 8 course sampler menu that I was too afraid to try. Icelandic portions really fill you up and it's quality and quantity. With the current exchange rate, restaurants are about London/New York prices for a nice restaurant and much less for a cafe/bistro. If it sounds like a lot, imagine what it would've been last year – so things now are literally half price!

The cookbook makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside, much like how my dinner made me feel. The drawings are too cute! I especially like the one with the gutted flat fish.
