To heighten the visit, Litli Barinn has an interesting menu featuring fantastic small plates and delicious mains, with vegetarian and vegan options. We especially recommend the oven-baked brie topped with honey, pistachio, cranberries, and rosemary.
Their mains are also innovative, with the slow-cooked Icelandic lamb shank being sinfully good. There's also a tasty local club sandwich and a creamy mushroom risotto made with Icelandic mushrooms. Don't miss out on the seared salmon fillet with a bright lemon cream sauce!
