SAGA SHOP - Haust I Fall 2019

Icelandair Stopover 79 FORRÉTTABARINN RESTAURANT-BAR Have you ever looked at a menu and thought all the appetizers sounded so delicious that you’d like to order them all and skip the main? Then Forréttabarinn (literally: “Appetizers Bar”) is the place for you, as it only serves starters of different sizes—and a few desserts. The cocktail of the month is a good place to start while you ponder your choices. The chef’s special langoustine soup, served with homemade bread and tapenade, strikes a balance between savory and creamy. The hot-smoked salmon and duck confit and smoked duck breast offer a different take on Iceland’s tradition of smoking. Many locals would choose horse over beef; if you taste Forréttabarinn’s grilled fillet of horse “Béarna- ise” you’ll discover why. Lamb, another local favorite, is also a fixed feature. For fresh Icelandic seafood, the sautéed cod and smoked onion jam is a delectable choice. As for desserts, the skyr mousse is quite the hit and a constant on the menu. Vegan or veget- arian versions of many dishes are available. On weekends you’ll find Forréttabarinn packed with locals lounging at the bar or catching up with friends over a few small but elaborate courses. Mix and match and order as many of the reasonably-priced appetizers as you have an appetite for—or choose one of the set menus—and tune in to the party vibe. Nýlendugata 14 Open daily: 4–10 pm (kitchen) and 4–11 pm (bar) Happy Hour: 4–7 pm forrettabarinn.is
