About Iceland
Iceland is a refreshingly unconventional travel destination. The Icelandic nature is unspoilt, exotic and mystical with its spouting geysers, active volcanoes, tumbling waterfalls, towering mountains, vast lava plains and magical lakes. Iceland’s fjords, glaciers and highland plains present visitors with some of the most beautiful and enchanting places they will ever see, as well as a rare feeling of utter tranquillity.
For travelers on a quest for action, Iceland’s pristine nature offers great potential for outdoor activities such as snowmobiling, horse riding, cave exploring, hiking, swimming, skiing, river rafting, kayaking and mountain safaris on modified four-wheel drives, to name but a few. Iceland supports a surprisingly diverse Nordic flora and fauna and is an ideal place for ornithology enthusiasts, while also offering some of the world’s best whale watching destinations.
About Reykjavik
Reykjavík sometimes feels like a cosmopolitan capital and a tiny seaside village - all wrapped up in one. But Reykjavík has the best of both worlds; the qualities of a modern, forward-looking society complemented by a close connection to Iceland‚s beautiful and unspoilt nature.
Reykjavík’s legendary nightlife is bolstered by plentiful cultural and social happenings in addition to an abundance of first-class restaurants. The size of Reykjavik city centre is also limited enough to allow for easy navigation by foot. Reykjavík has been described as a young and daring city that is characterized by strong contrasts. Conveniently small, clean and safe, it is more or less free from the major problems that haunt many other capitals. Big city events are frequent, the winter lights festival finished recently with thousands of participants and more tourist at this time of the year than we are used to.

The American Style family restaurants are probably the most popular and beloved in its field in Iceland.
The American Style family restaurants are probably the most popular and beloved in its field in Iceland. The menu characterizes the “all-american” model for any such casual dining, but it truly brings an Icelandic flavour to the tradition.
The menu reflects the typical roadside fastfood joint, putting its pride in the specialty of the house: The American Style char-grilled, juicy hamburgers, available in many different versions and for a very reasonable price. The menu also consists of various selection of sandwiches, pitas, broiling steak, chicken salad and delicious fried fish presented the Icelandic way. High quality requirements have put American Style into a league of their own, far beyond traditional fast food places.
Today American Style restaurants consist of a chain of four branches in Hafnafjörður, Kópavogur and Reykjavík, where actually two restaurants are operated. The American Style branch at Skipholt is very close to Hotel Nordica, Hotel Ísland and the Youth Hostel in Laugardalur. The Hafnafjörður branch is, on the other hand, the ideal place for a quick stop on your way to or from the airport.
A visit to American Style is a guarantee for an enjoyable lunch or dinner in a family-friendly environment, but each branch has a special playroom for children. The atmosphere at American Style is very lively and the restaurants are hardly ever empty despite long opening hours. With pictures of famous rock stars gazing at you from the wall, you can be sure that the service is fast and satisfying for all our hungry guests.
