Itinerary

  1. We meet up at Ingolfur Square to start our foodie adventure. Please be at the square 5 minutes before the start of your tour. (5 min)
  2. We start off down by the old Reykjavik harbor with a great appetizer: An Icelandic shellfish soup. You really should try out Icelandic seafood while in Iceland. (25 min)
  3. If you are so lucky to be walking with us during the day at weekends we add a fun stroll through the authentic small food market inside the Reykjavik Flea Market. There we discover all kinds of very traditional Icelandic Foods together. Keep in mind the Reykjavik Flea Market is only open Saturday's and Sundays from 11 am to 5 pm. (30 min)
  4. No Reykjavik Food Tour is complete without the Icelandic Lamb hot dog. But you must go to this food stall as it's the original one from 1937. (15 min)
  5. The Icelandic lamb soup is like Iceland in a bowl. Here we get the chance to sample this delicacy along with more traditional foods. (40 min)
  6. We stop at a local delicacy store and check out some unique Icelandic foods, snacks, and candy. (10 min)
