A Culinary Adventure In Iceland

Iceland, the land of fire and ice, promises a culinary experience as unique and breathtaking as its views. Being strongly connected to its natural environment, Icelandic culinary heritage is all about  purity, simplicity, and freshness of its local source.

Start your adventure in Reykjavik and then move on to the heartland of the island to discover a cuisine reflecting Iceland's culinary traditions that go back to the Viking’s times. Unveil the country's culinary past with traditional dishes like Hákarl (fermented shark) and Harðfiskur (dried fish). These dishes are an ode to Iceland's abundance and respect for nature.

Seafood plays a staple of Icelandic cuisine, as the clean waters around the island provide a bounty of fish like cod, haddock, and Arctic char. You’ll find an array of simple grilled dishes that highlight natural flavors in Iceland's top restaurants.

Lamb is another distinct feature of Icelandic cuisine, with sheep feeding on wild pastures and consuming organic herbs that give the meat a special delicious flavor. Try it in traditional stews or as hearty grilled chops.

Dairy products like Skyr, a creamy, yogurt-like cheese, are another integral part of the national cuisine. Enjoy on its own, in smoothies, or in desserts.
