Overview
The land of volcanoes and geyers will surprise you with its wide variety of delicious dishes!
The first thing that comes to mind when you think of Iceland is probably not food. But then again, why not? Even in this land of hot springs and lava fields, everybody has to eat. Long, dark winters have given Icelanders plenty of time to perfect their culinary skills and they are anxious to tantalize your taste buds with their best recipes.
This tour runs the gamut, from markets to food stalls to fine dining. With 15 different foods to sample, you might want to skip breakfast!
Local farms provide milk for Skyr, a delightful mild yogurt for which Iceland is known. The meat is local too and talented chefs have each created their own version of the dish perhaps most associated with Iceland, lamb soup. Your knowledgeable guide will steer you to the best place in town to partake of this classic comfort food.
With ice-cold waters surrounding Iceland, fresh, delicate seafood is always in season. Savor the lobster soup. It is not to be missed and will warm you from your head to your toes. The culinary adventurous in your group might decide to sample these Icelandic delicacies: lava bread, smoked puffin, dried fish and fermented shark.
