Dining in Hafnarfjordur
Hafnarfjordur, often called 'the town in the lava', is technically part of the Greater Reykjavik area but has a distinct identity all its own. Built directly on a rugged lava field, the town is steeped in Viking heritage and local folklore about hidden people living in the rocks. Its food scene is growing independently from the capital, with local restaurants increasingly drawing visitors who want to experience Icelandic dining without the Reykjavik tourist markup.
