TheOneToGo
Reykjavik's food makes more sense with someone to explain it, because half the menu, from fermented shark to a lamb hot dog with everything, is hard to order blind.
Our pick
This three-hour walk covers the city's most interesting eating, feeding you plokkfiskur on dark rye, kjotsupa lamb soup, the famous pylsur done the local way, skyr, and a square of salty liquorice. There are enough stops to leave you full and enough range to grasp why Icelandic food developed the way it did on this rock. Tasting alongside locals who know each dish's backstory turns what could be a dare into something you remember long after the hot springs.
If our pick doesn't fit
Covers the same Icelandic food stops as the main pick but reserved entirely for your party, so the pace is yours to set.
A shorter, more focused experience for those whose main interest is Icelandic craft spirits rather than a broad food walk.
