Our first amazing Icelandic meal!

After making our way into town we found a fantastic little restaurant called Lækjarbrekka (Lyk-yar-pr-e-hk-a, I think). The sourdough bread was served with creamy skyr butter, tapenade and seaweed salt. I had a Rutabaga (Icelandic yellow swede) soup and lamb in Icelandic flatbread with buttermilk coleslaw, potato strings and bacon.
