"Islenski Barinn is a funky little restaurant with really good food. The fish and chips were especially good!"

"Maybe it was the expectation, but it wasn’t as bad as I thought. It’s bad. Just not deathly horrible."

"Like I said, it’s not for everyone – even most Icelanders cringe at the thought. I, however, love it. Some say it tastes like a strong french cheese and I think it’s a perfect snack with your beer, or better still, your shot of Brennivín."

"If you have a taste for something that smells like it came from the cleaning aisle in the supermarket, then this is definitely for you."
