Video: Slippurinn Head to Tail Cod Tasting Menu in Iceland

Head chef Gísli Matthías Auðunsson opened Slippurinn in his hometown on the Westman Islands in 2012. The name refers to the restaurant’s location, in an old boat slip, where boats were repaired and restored. Slippurinn started as a simpler restaurant, but today it is easily one of the top restaurants in Iceland, proudly serving food of the island, as local as they can source it. Gísli is a firm believer that pure luxury is getting something you can’t get anywhere else and wants people to really feel like they’re on the Westman Islands through his food. But this is not a fine dining restaurant; it’s a casual, family-friendly place. You can go à la carte, you can pick the three-course menu of the day, or, if you’re a super-interested foodie, you can go for the eight-course menu. No matter what you choose, your meal will likely include lots of fresh seafood, seaweed, locally foraged herbs, seabirds, and Icelandic lamb. Slippurinn is only open seasonally, for four months a year in the summer.
