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.

Hereford Steakhouse

Simply the best Juicy steaks, prepared by professionals.

The Hereford is the most renowned steakhouse in Iceland. Its hallmark is a varied selection of carefully chosen parts of beef, lamb and turkey along with delicious seafood. The specially provided raw-material is always high quality, homogenized and prepared in a certain way by ambitious cooks, for demanding customers.

Coming to the Hereford Steakhouse is a curious experience where you can find “democracy in action”. Every customer begins his visit by filling out a special ticket, where he chooses from six different ways of roasting the steak, ranging from “bleu” to “well-done”. Other options on the tickets concern the choice of potato, butter, sauce and vegetables. The Hereford Steakhouse also offers numerous brands of wines for reasonable prices and the “wine-ofthe- month” always offered at a special price. You can get 700 ml decanters for less than 2000 kr.

Another interesting fact about the Hereford Steakhouse is that the kitchen is partly positioned in the restaurant hall. While waiting for the meal you can always follow the preparation of the cookery. All the cooks are very experienced in their field, coming from steakhouses, both in Iceland and abroad and they make high demands for a good quality raw-material.

One might wonder about the origins of the special name of the Hereford Steakhouse. The prototype of the restaurant comes from Copenhagen, Denmark, but its real origins are related to a special kind of beef cattle, developed in the Herefordshire in England.

The Hereford Steakhouse has a room for up to 150 visitors and the bar has seats for 40-50 people. A special VIP room can also be arranged.
