otel Ranga is an award winning four-star resort situated on the banks of the River Ranga with panoramic views of the surrounding volcanic landscape. Offering a fine dining experience in an elegant riverside setting The Ranga Restaurant is one of Iceland’s leading gourmet destinations. Head Chef Karl Jóhann Unnarsson creates seasonal dishes that reflect the restaurant’s Modern Nordic philosophy. “Within our a la carte menus we use the freshest seasonal ingredients, yet we prepare these in interesting ways using modern techniques and cooking methods. We like to combine contrasting ingredients that speak for themselves and then present these in simple, yet well executed forms. For example, our menu features cured salmon with trout roe and dill oil, smoked puffin with beer bread and pickled beetroot, cured goose with Icelandic Cheddar cheese and wild lamb with mushroom puree and redcurrant glaze. All of these have classic Icelandic roots yet are prepared and presented
