Popular Cities in Iceland
Traditional Sweet Dishes
Kleina
Kleina's twisted knot shape comes from old Norse recipes, and this crisp fried pastry was traditionally served with coffee to warm fishermen on long voyages.
Skyr cake
Skyr cake turns ancient Icelandic cultured cheese into a lush, tangy dessert, so creamy it feels indulgent despite being surprisingly low in fat.
Traditional Savory Dishes
Lamb stew
Icelandic lamb stew, or kjötsúpa, showcases meat from free-roaming sheep that graze on wild herbs and lava fields, giving the broth a subtly floral and mineral character.
Plokkfiskur
Plokkfiskur is a thrifty, comforting mash of cod and potatoes that began as a way to rescue fish leftovers, and its creamy texture has made it a beloved staple from home kitchens to restaurants.
Traditional Beverages
Brennivín
Brennivín is a caraway-flavored schnapps known as Black Death by some, and it is the traditional pairing for the famously pungent Icelandic fermented shark.
Skyr smoothie
Skyr smoothies turn centuries-old cultured dairy into a modern high-protein drink, combining velvety thickness and bright tang that keeps you full longer.

Weather is wild, one minute sunny, next sleet, but the landscapes make it worth it; plan extra clothes and patience.
Food is pricey and portions small, but the lamb and seafood are outstanding; budget accordingly or hit grocery stores.
Fill your tank whenever you see gas, especially outside Reykjavik; some stretches have no stations for 100+ km.
Rent a 4x4 in winter, avoid backroad adventures alone, and always check official road updates before driving.
Go to bakeries for cheap hot meals, or grab the lunch menu instead of dinner; avoid main square restaurants for real prices.
