Icelandic Food

In my opinion, the food and restaurants in Iceland are underrated! Who knew Icelandic food could taste so good. There are so many award winning chefs and cocktail artists in Reykjavik, I never get bored of the food scene around here.

When in doubt, always order the fish or the day or the lamb dish. You can NEVER go wrong with any of those dishes in Iceland. Icelanders really know what they're doing in the kitchen.

Michelin Stars in Iceland:

I became a foodie once I moved to Iceland, and even more so once I started dating a chef. Did you know there are 3 Michelin Stars in Iceland?? If you're a foodie, these are MUST try. These usually have to be booked MONTHS in advance, but they also post cancellations on their stories so make sure to follow them if you really want to them out. In order of my favorites 👇🏼

1. Óx

2. Dill

3. Moss at the Blue Lagoon Retreat

Please note these are not considered affordable options and it is best to book a table in advance.

Bonus:

If you are up for trying several traditional and authentic Icelandic dishes I recommend signing up for the Reykjavik Food Tour. This is truly one of the best experiences you can have in Reykjavik. All the food is DELICIOUS and you will definitely not leave hungry. You'll be in a small group with a local guide who will fill you with stories about Iceland and amazing cuisine as you visit 5-6 different restaurants together. I can't recommend this food tour enough! You can also get a discount using code KYANASUE10
