Restaurants in Iceland

Restaurants in Iceland and in the city center of Reykjavik, fresh Icelandic seafood tops the menu at most fine restaurants in Iceland, but adventurous pallets will be pleased by the range and quality of international cuisine available throughout the country such as in Reykjavik and Akureyri the capital of north Iceland.

The notion of dining in Iceland has changed dramatically in the past few years, with many chefs adopting the influence of foreign cultures and fresh new ingredients into the family of traditional Icelandic foods. The result has been an explosion of culinary inventiveness and worldwide recognition for several Icelandic restaurants.

Those seeking traditional Icelandic food will be pleased as well. While menus have grown to reflect the influence of ingredients from around the world, much pride is taken in offering travellers a taste of a real Viking meal. Traditional seafood dishes are as fresh and hearty as they can possibly be, and Iceland’s free range lamb is some of the finest you will ever have the pleasure of tasting.
