Iceland preserves food so well. Because at one point in time, locals needed to keep food supplies up to last through the long, and dark winter (pre-refrigeration era).
The most popular forms of food preservation methods are drying and smoking meats, and fermenting fish in whey or brine because Iceland doesn’t actually have much salt available to preserve.
When you know, you know.
Besides fermented foods, they have geometrical greenhouses to grow fresh produce year-round. So expect to see some greens on the menu.
Anyway, let’s get into WHERE TO EAT!
If you love to try new food, take a food tour so you can cover more ground.
That is, besides meeting new people, expect to find the best restaurants, local secret hangouts, and family-run institutions in Reykjavík as well.

And if you are looking for a guide to plan your trip to this perfect destination.
We’ll ta-da here it is.
Pretty much we’re lovers of this place and want to share our perfect itinerary, crafted around planning your stay in Reykjavik, Iceland.
Reykjavik is the capital of this Nordic island. The city is just so cozy, with brightly painted houses, and boutique shops, and it’s walking friendly (bundle up though).
The best time to visit depends on what you want to do.
Summers have more daylight hours and tons of great festivals. Winters are the best time to visit to view the Northern Lights and you’ll experience longer dark nights.
We cover geothermal pools, where to book to see glaciers, towering waterfalls, the world-famous black sand beach, geysers, and restaurants.
Let’s get down to the details.
Inspired to visit and have not yet booked your trip? *BOOK through Crewfare to lock in your hotel and pay over time.
Our experience was fab. We spent the afternoon in this geothermal pool with a swim-up bar (the best spot to order a Prosecco Rosé ever!). The pool looks over a clifftop with breathtaking views of the North Atlantic. And if you’re looking for a true spa experience, do what we did and go for their seven-step cleansing ritual.
Book yourself in here
The Blue Lagoon has been around longer than the Sky Lagoon and is a tourist staple. It’s the best for great views of Iceland’s countryside while soaking in crystal-clear, mineral-rich waters, putting on a mineral-dense face mask, and sipping a crisp drink from the swim-up bar.
