Itinerary

When you meet your local food walk guide at Harpa Concert Hall, you can look forward to three hours of the most delicious tastes within Icelandic cuisine, and the best sights to be found in the heart of Reykjavík.

First and foremost, you will experience Reykjavík by sampling the local food. On this unique walking tour, we will visit up to five unique restaurants to try their best Icelandic culinary delicacies. The restaurants have been selected by your specialist local food guide for one reason only – they offer the most delightful local Icelandic food.

Visit the best restaurants in Reykjavík as well as the lesser-known local secrets

Some of these places are famous ‘must-visit Reykjavík restaurants’, and others are little-known but characterful local places which are hidden down the back streets of the city.

This really is a walking tour for foodies, so make sure you wear your comfortable walking shoes and dress for the weather! Along the way, you will see some of the best-known buildings and sights in Reykjavík and learn some fascinating stories about them.

You can rest assured your guide has an eye for the quirky and the less obvious, so you will get to know some amazing tidbits of information as you wander around. Your stream of footsteps will frequently be punctuated by another ´food visit’, and yet more great culinary wonders to try. So, you will never be walking for long without an interesting and delicious food break.

Enjoy the wonderful tastes at the heart of Icelandic cuisine

We want you to enjoy a taste of Icelandic history in more ways than one. You will see the buildings of Reykjavík, learn some of their stories, and taste many delicacies.

Along the way, the tour introduces some of the foods that have shaped Icelandic cuisine over centuries. Lamb and seafood have long played a central role in Iceland’s diet, dating back to the country’s earliest settlement more than 1,100 years ago. As you move through Reykjavík, tastings are paired with short stories about how local ingredients, geography, and history continue to influence what Icelanders eat today!
