IcelandAir Package
 

I've booked a two-night package to Iceland through IcelandAir obviously, we have tours planned I was just wondering if anyone had any great "budget" dining recommendations. We are going May 10, 2008.

Thank you!

there is nothing remotely budget in Iceland IME

this is perhaps the world's most expensive country at least that i've been in

a beer or glass of wine probably costs $10 or more in a restaurant

budget dining thus means bring your own dinner in - even supermarkets are outrageously expensive

keep topping and sooner or later someone will expertly answer your question

must be a McDonalds there i guess

As you have already been told, Iceland is very expensive.

A budget meal would be a hot dog purchased from a vendor on the sidewalk.

A budget drink is one from a bottle that your purchased at the airport.

I remember the first round of drinks I bought in Iceland and the knot in my stomach when I realized that each beer we were about to drink cost $11.00.

You are going to be there only 2 nights; come up with some extra money and enjoy yourself. In your mind, budget for a 5 day trip to a normal priced location and spend it all during your 3 days.

There is a small restaurant on the Laugavegur called Svarta Kaffid. Its on Laugavegur 54. They are pretty famous for doing soup that comes served IN a crusty bread roll. Very filling and very very nice. Over the last three times ive been to Reykjavik ive never had a bad meal there. Last time they started a special deal of soup with a pint for 1500kr (£12) when considering that the soup is 1100kr on its own is very good value for Reykjavik. Would also recommend Vegamot but more expensive. Have a great time.

Not sure whether you are from Europe or the USA. Im from Middlesbrough in the U.K. and while I agree that Iceland is an expensive destination, it was not as expensive as I thought it was going to be.

Thank you for the suggestions...yes I hear it's expensive but I just wanted to get a feel for "expensive". $10 a beer is a norm in Boston and NYC at the nicer places so I can handle that especially on vacation.

I am travelling from Boston, we live in NH.

Thank you again!
