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.
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.
