Tapas Barinn is the go-to spot in Reykjavik for a cosy night of Spanish-style tapas with an Icelandic twist. đŸ· It’s tucked away in the old town and has a warm, candlelit vibe that makes it perfect for a relaxed dinner or a date night.

Their menu is all about sharing plates, with everything from lobster tails in garlic sauce to Icelandic lamb, slow-cooked puffin, and even minke whale (if you’re curious to try something traditional). The best way to do it? Go for the “Icelandic Feast” tasting menu — it’s a mix of local dishes that’ll give you a real taste of Icelandic flavours in small, delicious portions.

Oh, and the sangria is a must! đŸč It’s also a great spot to kick off a night out in Reykjavik — the lively atmosphere and friendly staff make it feel like you’re dining with locals. Definitely worth a visit if you’re up for trying something a bit different and totally tasty.
