COUNTRY TO VISIT IF YOU LOVE FOOD

When I planned my trip to Iceland, it was to see the beautiful nature. I was so surprised to find out that an Iceland is a foodie’s paradise!! I thought I would find basic fish at most restaurants - but NO! They had some of the most unique bakeries, pizzerias, food halls, food stands, and other restaurants I’ve ever seen! They take their food very seriously there. Here were a few of my favorites:

BRAUD & Co - Reykjavik. This one is a MUST visit for a morning pastry! Their cinnamon roll was so different than anything I’ve ever had before - and it was incredible!! They had tons of other incredible pastries and breads too!

Hofnin - Reykjavik. An incredible seafood restaurant right by the Reykjavik harbor. The seafood here was amazing! I had the Langoustine Risotto and I would swim back to Iceland to have this meal again. The Lobster Bisque was also really good!

Bæjarins Beztu Pylsur - Reykjavik. Icelandic hotdogs are a delicacy. So unique and strangely good! There are hot dog stands all over - but this is the oldest one in Reykjavik! Great for a quick lunch (and super cheap!).

DEIG Workshop - Reykjavik. I love this place. Incredible donuts, bagels, and bagel sandwiches. You HAVE to get the Creme Brûlée donut. They carmalize the sugar on top right in front of you - it has a light crunchy top with a warm, soft, and cream filled center.

POSTHAUS Food Hall - Reykjavik. There are food halls all over Iceland - but this one was my favorite! The vibes were immaculate! This was refurbished from an old post office. Tons of fun food vendors with fun things to try!

Sushi Social - Reykjavik. Hands down best sushi in Iceland. Such unique rolls. Amazing. Gordon Ramsey has eaten here!

Black Crust Pizzeria - Vik. This is located right next to Reynisfjara Black Sand beach, which inspired the black crust! Their pizzas were SO unique and fun. The Langoustine pizza was my favorite!

Friðheimar- Reykolt. This restaurant was so unique - it is inside of a tomato greenhouse/farm. Iceland has to grow all of its produce inside green houses, so this was a really unique way to see what that looks like. The food was SO good, tomato soup, bloody mary’s, tomato ice cream, and tons of other amazing dishes with tomato’s.

I have so many more favorites from Iceland, but ran out of room!!! A trip to Iceland is a win-win all around - amazing scenery and amazing food!

... Read moreLike many travelers, my initial thoughts about Icelandic cuisine were probably limited to fish, maybe some lamb. But after experiencing it firsthand, I can confidently say that Iceland is a vibrant and unexpectedly diverse foodie destination, easily earning its spot among the best countries for food tourism. Beyond what you might expect, Icelandic food is a testament to innovation and fresh, local ingredients. It’s not just about traditional dishes; it’s about how they've taken those traditions and infused them with modern culinary creativity. Imagine high-quality, sustainably sourced seafood like the langoustine I devoured, or the tender Icelandic lamb that melts in your mouth. They even bake traditional rúgbrauð (rye bread) in geothermal vents – how cool is that? While my trip highlights many spots in Reykjavik, the capital city truly serves as a fantastic hub for food exploration. You can start your day at a charming bakery like Braud & Co, easily identifiable by its colorful street art exterior, where their cinnamon rolls are an absolute game-changer. For a quick, iconic lunch, the red and white hot dog stand of Bæjarins Beztu Pylsur is a rite of passage, offering a surprisingly gourmet twist on a classic. And when you're looking for something sweet, DEIG Workshop's display case filled with various donuts and pastries, especially their crème brûlée donut, is pure indulgence. Dining in Iceland is also about the experience. Picture enjoying fresh seafood by the harbor at Hofnin, with its picturesque blue buildings, or stepping into the unique ambiance of Friðheimar, a restaurant literally inside a tomato greenhouse! Even discovering places like Sushi Social, with its inviting wooden door framed by lush green plants, adds to the charm. The food halls, like POSTHAUS, are brilliant for sampling a range of world cuisines and local specialties, perfect for a casual evening with friends. So, if you’re wondering, “is Iceland food good?” My answer is a resounding YES! It’s surprisingly good, incredibly diverse, and offers unique culinary adventures you won't find anywhere else. Don't let common misconceptions deter you; Iceland is a must-visit for any food lover looking for their next unforgettable meal.
