A Reykjavik Primer
There’s nothing quite like Iceland—a comfortably cosmopolitan Reykjavik (replete with a thriving artistic community and nightlife) butts up against some of the most beguiling natural wonders the world has to offer. It’s a study in contrasts, but manages to have the best of both. Accessible enough for a long weekend, but magical enough that two weeks wouldn’t be a stretch. Here are the makings of a perfect visit:

Icelandic Fish and Chips
Tryggvagata 8
This quaint organic bistro serves some of the best fish and chips
around. The fish (from Blue Lang to Spotted Catfish) is as fresh as you
would expect from a restaurant that neighbors the ocean and the
better-for-you batter made from spelt and barley is deliciously light
and crispy. Of particular note are the “Skyronnaise” sauces made from
Iceland’s famous skyr, rather than mayo, and available in far too many
delicious flavors to try in one sitting.
