Tryggvaskali pride themselves on using mainly local produce. Everything was beautifully presented from the starters to the tasty desserts. Liquorice cured goose was something I’d never tried before. The restaurant was very keen for us to try a lot of their dishes so brought us much more food than we ordered. This would not normally be the type of restaurant I would take young children to but the private room meant we didn’t cause too much of a disturbance to other diners. Arriving with our energetic boys we were pleasantly surprised to be given a private dining room.
#SELFLOSS RESTAURANTS FULL#
It’s full of charm, old quaint Scandinavian artefacts and each room is set up to host guests in intimate settings. Originally built for workers constructing the bridge it has been carefully restored. We almost missed it as it was snowing so heavily that day.Ī beautiful old wooden house dating back to 1890 and overlooking the town bridge.

It’s also just off a busy round-about and you wouldn’t necessarily spot it if you didn’t know what to look for. Nestled behind an industrial build hosting a supermarket and homeware store. Although for a sleepy town what surprised us the most was the amazing restaurant, Tryggvaskali. Selfoss is in driving distance of local horse farms, hiking trails (when the weather allows) and has a newly refurbished and impressive public swimming pool. SELFOSS HAS MORE TO OFFER THAN MEETS THE EYE Where I wouldn’t suggest this as an ideal hotel when travelling with kids in Iceland I can, however, recommend it as a good basis self-catering apartment hotel ideal for hikers looking for a clean, well-equipped base to explore this area of Iceland. After descending with three boys under 3 in these unusual circumstances they still made us feel very welcomed. Not a traditional family hotel the kind owner and his staff did their best to cater to our needs. After an exhausting drive in blizzardy conditions, we arrived Saturday afternoon to the Arctic Natura Hotel. Yet our unexpected two-night stay there definitely had its highlights. This visit to Selfoss wasn’t part of our original plan. This is therefore the first post from our travels. It has taken me a while to digest was was surely an adventures and exhilarating family holiday.


The art style was inspired by postimpressionism, and the colors of Selfloss were chosen with reference to color theories, particularly Simultaneous Contrast theory.With the weather dramatically affecting our Iceland trip in February it saw us stranded in Selfoss.A unique sea-worshiping world with whale gods, resembling the landscapes of Iceland.You can explore the world of Selfloss on foot or by boat, discovering Slavic and Icelandic myths along the way as you help others overcome their hardships and grief.You control the character and his staff simultaneously and independently: the magic staff levitates around the protagonist, generating spells. The magical staff is central to the game’s mechanics and story.The old man hears the cry of an unknown animal and is eager to find it and help it. Perform a ceremony called "Selfloss" to heal your own wounded soul. Use the light of your staff to defeat mythical creatures and help those in need. Selfloss is a story-driven adventure game about a kind old man, set in a fantasy world based on Slavic and Icelandic myths.
