After a long flight we got to Alftanes, a
neighbourhood 15-20 min.(car) far from Reykjavik.
It was late and by our Guesthouse host
recommendation we ended in this small place. I
was skeptical, the first impression I got was: "I've
just entered someone's house by mistake". Simple
yet well decorated but oddly intimistic and family-
run. We waited to be seated (that's a good advice in
most places in Iceland). We asked for the soup of
the day (carrot) and pizza. Until then I was sure that
was a trap.Then some locals appeared to take their
orders (mainly soup and pizza as well). And my
soup arrived...wonderful! Simple, yet wonderful! I
felt immediately humbled by how a simple carrot
soup could taste THAT good. Btw: their pizzas
are very good indeed, it's different...the dough is
lighter and tender, doesn't taste like average pizza
dough. I guess they use the same sourdough they
use for the bread. anyway, worth it! (Visit Des. 2018)
