Icelandic Cuisine

Iceland's unique cuisine is predominantly meat-based, a legacy of its early settlers' reliance on livestock and fishing due to limited farmland.

Despite its history of a meat-based diet, Iceland now cultivates a wide range of fruits and vegetables, with a significant portion grown in greenhouses.

Don’t think you have to be a fan of gin to enjoy this!

You can order this lovely tasting gin in a cocktail with tonic, strawberry and a marshmallow (which might be hilariously translated into English as “sugar cushion”) at a restaurant called Monkeys in the center of Reykjavik.

Gin: Stuðlaberg

Reindeer Filet

It is possible you’ll see wild reindeer on your visit to Iceland and it’s also possible that you’ll find restaurants that will serve some on your plate!
