Traditional Sweet Dishes
Skyr
Skyr is creamy, thick and technically a cultured dairy product rather than true yogurt. Locals in Keflavík enjoy it with wild berries for breakfast, and it has been a staple since Viking times.
Kleinur
Kleinur are twisted, airy fried pastries flavored with cardamom, they were once made to use up leftover dough and became a beloved snack at Kaffihús in Keflavík.

Pönnukökur are paper-thin pancakes served rolled with jam and whipped cream, they are a party favorite in Keflavík where children learn to flip them for festive gatherings.
Traditional Savory Dishes
Hákarl
Hákarl is fermented Greenland shark with a powerful ammonia aroma. Trying it in Keflavík is treated like a local rite of passage and it is often washed down with Brennivín.
Kjötsúpa (lamb soup)
Kjötsúpa is a hearty lamb and vegetable soup that kept fishermen and families warm through harsh Icelandic winters. In Keflavík it is a symbol of home cooking and communal meals.
Harðfiskur (dried fish)
Harðfiskur is wind-dried fish that flakes like paper and was vital as a lightweight, high-protein snack for seafarers. Locals in Keflavík still eat it with a smear of butter.
Traditional Beverages
Brennivín
Brennivín is a caraway-flavored schnapps nicknamed black death, it is the traditional chaser for Hákarl and a bold emblem of Icelandic drinking culture in Keflavík.
Icelandic beer
Icelandic beer enjoyed a renaissance after prohibition ended in 1989, and Keflavík now boasts lively microbreweries that mix global styles with local ingredients like glacier water and Arctic herbs.
Skyr smoothies
Skyr smoothies are a modern Keflavík favorite, blending protein-rich skyr with local berries for a thick, refreshing drink that fuels long walks along the coast.
