This modern Indian restaurant is tucked away on Rose Street North between Princes and George Street. Not a salubrious location but well worth seeking out. The food is sublime, tasty, imaginative, well presented and unlike any Indian food I have ever been offered. Both food and wine prices very reasonable.

Eating is never cheap in Iceland, but this Reykjavik restaurant offers real value for money. The menu is imaginative and the food beautifully presented.

Another reader recommended hiring a car to see the main sights and I couldn't agree more. However, we did find that even in summer the quality of the road surfaces was very variable. The Icelanders tend to resurface their roads by throwing down a load of hardcore and then working the whole width of the road, which means you have to drive over the top! Our Toyota Corolla sustained quite severe damage from landing on its nose while following a bulldozer... So get a 4x4, even if you would normally never be seen dead near one, it gives you more options and peace of mind.
