Kryddlegin Hjörtu, Reykjavik, Iceland

Kryddlegin Hjörtu (Skúlagata 17, 101 Reykjavík) means 'spicy hearts', but don't let that mislead you. The food here, whilst limited in range, is very good and not spicy in nature. Worthy of note is that online maps tend to get the location of this restaurant wrong, so make sure you make a note of it before you set out to save you wandering around for it.

The restaurant has two main dishes - a vegetable lasagne and homemade spelt bread, or soups and salad and the bread. We tried both. The lasagne was a good size and filling, especially with the bread and the dips that it comes with, which were delicious. There were a number of soups to choose from and a decent salad bar, which provided an enjoyable combination of tastes.You're not limited in how much soup, salad or bread you eat, which is a nice bonus.

The main criticism of this place was that if you wanted to have salad with your lasagne (a perfectly reasonable request), you couldn't have just that, you had to pay to have the soup option too. When you consider both dishes were around Kr2000, that seemed too extravagant just to get a little salad, and you wouldn't feel like eating absolutely everything that they had.

Overall, definitely worth sampling, especially for vegetarians, just be prepared in advance to have limited options and be fine with what's on the menu. Oh, and make sure you know where you're heading to before you set out, otherwise it's easy to miss it.
