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.

Tveir Fiskar

Discover the true and tempting taste of iclendic seafood by the harbour.

Icelanders are very proud of their precious and unspoiled fishing grounds around the country. Delicious dishes made of fresh fish are the hallmark of the Icelandic cuisine.

One of the most renowned seafood restaurants in Iceland is simply named Tveir Fiskar (Two Fishes). It is situated, appropriately, by the harbour, in a former nursing home for elderly seamen. According to the name the restaurant specializes in catering tempting and delicate fish courses made of topquality ingredients, coming on a daily basis, right from the Atlantic sea.

The menu is filled with a balanced variety of common fish species such as cod, halibut, catfish, monkfish and lobster along with exotic rarities like whale, dolphin, swordfish, Icelandic caviar and fresh oysters which are served the whole year around. The cookery is based on rooted simplicity in the sense of protecting the real fish taste from the use of too many additives and spices. The presentation of the dishes is an art form within itself framed in specially designed plates made by the artist Inga Elín, but her beautiful and diverse works serve as a prominent image for the restaurant.

The head chef of Tveir fiskar is the highly acclaimed Gissur Guðmundsson, the president of the Icelandic and Nordic Chefs Association and European Continental Director of World Association of Cooks Societies.

Tveir fiskar is a non-smoking restaurant with room for up to 70 people. As mentioned before the accommodation served once as a nursing home and for that reason, the accessibility for the disabled is far better than in many other restaurants.
