What to expect on a food tour

Tours typically run two to three hours with four to six stops, mixing traditional dishes with more modern Icelandic cooking.

Most tastings are small portions rather than full meals, so come hungry but not starving.

Let us know about allergies or dietary restrictions when booking, most tours can adapt with notice.

Food tours run year-round since they are entirely indoors and outdoors on foot in the city, making them a reliable option in bad weather.
