Iceland is becoming increasingly associated with great dining experiences. Its many restaurants offer internationally inspired dishes and beverages alongside traditional local favourites. Our Iceland food tours for UK travellers help you learn about Icelandic food culture and sample some of the best national and regional cuisine as well as delicious craft beers, snacks and sweet treats.

Icelandic cuisine trips

While Icelandic cuisine has seen an explosion of variety in recent years, staples such as fish and lamb remain key elements. Seafood restaurants abound in Reykjavik and coastal locations, offering traditional cod, haddock and langoustine dishes. Meanwhile, a hearty lamb soup is a great way to revive your strength on one of our fabulous guided Iceland walking tours.

What Iceland lacks in arable land, it makes up for in an abundance of geothermal energy and clean spring water. Visit the Fridheimar greenhouse farm in Reykholt to see and taste how nature and innovation have helped boost the country's culinary range. Or take an excursion to a dairy farm to witness the making of another Icelandic favourite, ice cream, which is eaten all year round!
