Fantastic surf and turf in a cosy environment
My partner and I had a fantastic meal here sharing a variety of fish, shellfish and meats. We especially enjoyed the fillet of horse, pork loin and of course the lobster tails! Don't be put off by the tacky signage outside, it's really very good inside.

That one Church on top of the hill
Hallgrimskirkja is a notable church at the highest point ( I think) in Reykjavik. It's a wonderful place to visit, and the elevator ride to the top is worth the money. A lot of history here, and worth slowly wandering the site, and reading about it's significance.

History
The house was built in 1909 and is located at Félagstún. It was initially built for the French consul Jean-Paul Brillouin in Iceland, and was the exclusive residence of poet and businessman Einar Benediktsson (1864-1940) for twelve years (1913-1925).[1] From 1925 to 1937 painter Louisa Matthíasdóttir grew up in the house since her family resided there.[2]
In the 1940s and 1950s, it was home to the British Embassy in Reykjavík.[3] The city of Reykjavík purchased the house in 1958, and restored it. From then on it has been used for formal receptions and festive occasions.
On 25 September 2009, on the building's 100th birthday, Höfði was damaged in a fire.[4] All irreplaceable artifacts were saved.
In 2015, Einar Benediktsson's statue, by Ásmundur Sveinsson, was moved to a spot near Höfði house.
Construction
The house that shows the influence of Jugendstil was prefabricated in Norway, shipped to Iceland and erected in 1909 for the French Consul, before permission for the house had been granted by the city planning department.[5] At the time of construction it was the largest private estate in the city.[5]
