Until recently, Iceland was less known for its culinary scene than for its unparalleled natural beauty and adventure experiences, but visitors are quickly discovering its unique gastronomical traditions. One of the best ways to experience these traditions is The Reykjavik Food Walk.
This highly rated food tour of Iceland’s capital city is a visitor favorite for Nordic culinary favorites. While participants may not find some of the more unusual local dishes such as fermented shark, ram testicles and sheep heads, as they are no longer as common in Iceland’s food scene, the tour does focus on the best Icelandic cuisine available.
The tour features cozy bars featuring ample beer menus where guests can enjoy warm lamb stew, served with sweet potatoes and root vegetables. It features a stop at Ostabudin, a popular delicatessen serving a large selection of local meats and cheeses as well as unique dishes like cured sheep flavored with fennel and hot goose breast served with a raspberry vinaigrette and champagne vinegar. Enjoy the best coffee in town at Reykjavik Roasters and the best baked goods at Braud & Co. Sample the best homemade rye bread ice cream at Café Loki and rich seafood soups and lamb sausages served on a bun at Baejarins Beztu Pylsur.
Nothing completes a day of glacier exploration and geyser sightseeing like some traditional Nordic comfort food. Visit the website to learn more and book a tour.
