Matarlist in Hellissandur is a hidden gem serving up unexpectedly good food. With just a few menu choices (can vary), including fish soup, lamb shank, fish of the day (like delicious cod), and a vegan option, this spot impresses with complex flavours and beautiful presentation. Run by a mother-and-son team, Matarlist offers a top-notch dining experience that's perfect after a day of exploring the Snæfellsnes peninsula.

QUICK NOTES:

• What it is: A fun little restaurant in the small town of Hellissandur, Snæfellsnes peninsula.

• Best season: Any.

• Opening hours: To my knowledge they're usually open every day from 10 am to 5 pm.

• Nice to know: The restaurants in Snæfellsnes sometimes close during the winter months but in the bigger towns you'll always find some place to eat.
