Hello everyone! I’m travelling to Iceland mid November and looking for travel tips, restaurant recommendations and must sees while we’re there.
Thanks in advance!

One of the places I loved eating at: Roadhouse Reykjavik https://roadhouse.is/ Also, head to Jökulsárlón for the icebergs

The tasting menu at Grillmarkaðurinn is really good! I also enjoyed the fresh fish at Sægreifinn (known for the lobster soup).

This place is fantastic! Best lobster soup and generous portions of bread and butter
YUM!!!

Also check sunrise and sunset times in November or you'll run out of daylight!!

Rok near the main church is great. Tapas for dinner

Also pay close attention to the hours of businesses! A lot of them close very early by North American standards, and then possibly re-open later, or not.

Go to Cafe Loki for a beer and traditional Icelandic food, upstairs you can watch the tourists around the church.

and have the ryebread icecream there
its delicious and one of the things not to be missed

Well, if you're friends with
Jeremy Buffett, you'd difinitely like the penis museum - https://phallus.is/

Eating there is expensive.. you may want to pack some pasta or noodle or oatmeal in case you don’t want to eat out every meal.

We took coffee,tea,bars,snacks Go to duty free before leaving the airport.Beautiful country.Enjoy.

did you get the deal that you go to Iceland and then to England?

no we didn’t

Icelandic street food is an extremely cheap place to go for lunch. They do small sandwiches and unlimited soup!
If you’re looking for somewhere a little nicer. Apótek bar and grill does a breakfast buffet, as well as an amazing dinner! Open kitchen, and tasty food!
You have to have an Icelandic hot dog..it’s a right of passage.
I found that the Irish Pub was one of the most friendly, and always packed with a good time!

I arrived at fylgifiskar just as they'd finished serving lunch, but I bought some smoked trout, geyser bread, cod and potato mashed potatoes to have at my airbnb, and it was honestly the bestfood I had in the country. I ate at a very nice very $$$ restaurant, and there was no comparison. http://www.fylgifiskar.is/#umokkur

Are you doing northern Iceland or south Iceland? Or both

Lahiru we’re staying in and around Reykjavík

We went same time of year

I went back in 2015 around the same time. You can view my itinerary and what we did on my travel blog http://boketto.rosannau.com/page/2/?t=europe

We were there literally a year ago and loved it! You must try the soup bread bowl. It was fantastic

There’s a sketchy cliff just up and to the right of Seljalandfoss. Climb it. Views from the top are lit!

The best lobster soup I’ve ever had was at Cafe Bryggjan in Grindavík.

Bæjarins for amazing hot dogs.

And Lebowski Bar is pretty cool.

Blue lagoon

My favourite hot springs, especially in the evening!

Be very careful driving in mid November. Rent the most rugged vehicle you can and take all of the insurance. Be sure to advise rental company where you will be driving especially if you will drive the ring road. Be sure to try Icelandic fish stew if you go north to Akureyri. Lots of great quaint restaurants.

Rent a car. And when flying home the no frills Base Hotel is cheap and close.

going in March

Reyjkadalur Hot Springs are awesome. 1hr drive out of Reykjavik, 1hr long hike to get to a hot spring river you can bathe in.

Visit a geothermal plant if you can, they are very interesting if your into that kind of thing. Blue lagoon is nice, I had trouble getting into "light blue milk". Never went in but I don't like public hot tubs. It was not what I expected but the surroundings were lovely. Now is a great opportunity to see the northern lights so take that in for sure. We traveled to Akureyri and took a flight to Grimsey island, you can go by ferry as well. Really neat, look it up, crossed the Arctic Circle. Driving on the roads is rugged due to the temp changes and weather changes, so be cautious. You will enjoy Iceland very much!

Be careful with car rental roads can be horrendous insurance won’t cover tire damage... $6000.00 damage for a broken oil pan due to unmaintained roads Have a nice trip
