Minilik Ethiopian Restaurant Sweet-faced Azeb cooks up traditional Ethiopian specialities in this welcoming, unpretentious spot. There are loads of vegetarian options, but also lamb dishes such as awaze tibs or chicken (doro kitfo) . As far as we know, this is the only Ethiopian restaurant in Iceland, and it should beckon all lovers of spice.

Skálholt in Biskupstungur is one of Iceland´s most important historic sites. Christianity was made state religion of Iceland by law in the year 1000 A.D. The country’s first bishop, Ísleifur Gissurarson, ordained in 1056, settled at Skálholt, which was the episcopal see of South Iceland and a center of culture and education for 700 years. Of the bishops residing there in the middle ages, Þorlákur Þórhallsson (bishop 1178-1198), Iceland’s only saint, should be remembered.
