In Iceland the choice of food is as varied as the weather! Because of the lack of sunlight or the location of the island, fishing and hunting possibilities were limited, but also the export and import had their low point so that there were only limited resources many years ago. Nowadays, you can find almost everything your culinary heart desires in Iceland. The most popular dishes, however, have been fish, lamb and Icelandic skyr for hundreds of years. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

A small restaurant which we can recommend is called \u201cIcelandic Street Food\u201d<\/em> and is located about 11 minutes walk from Hillgr\u00edmskirkja<\/em> and only 7 minutes from Harpa Concert Hall<\/em>. As the name suggests, it\u2019s more street food and the choice is manageable. The highlight here is the soup, which can also be served in a large loaf of bread instead of a normal paper plate. Besides the very traditional lamb soup, there is also a vegetarian version or other dishes like mashed potatoes, which not only consists of the obvious, but also pur\u00e9ed fish. There is not much space in the restaurant itself, but the style and the music are traditional and robust. As almost everywhere in Iceland, the water is free. An eye-catcher in \u201cIcelandic Street Food\u201d<\/em> is the Wall of Money; a wall on which banknotes from different countries hang. Well, who can find their homeland? <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Another restaurant to recommend is the Old Iceland Restaurant<\/em>. Here you will also find the typical Icelandic dishes, but also any other speciality. Old Iceland is not far away from Hillgr\u00edmskirkja; it takes about 5 minutes on foot. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\u201cHot dogs?\u201d one wonders. Yes, definitely! If there\u2019s something on your list that\u2019s that should not be missed it\u2019s absolutely the hot dogs from B\u00e6jarin\u2019s Betzu Pylur<\/em> in Reykjav\u00edk. Admittedly, entering the name on Google Maps is a bit of a challenge and the stand doesn\u2019t look like what you\u2019re looking for. But the hot dogs are sensational. Not only tourists line up here, but also locals like to come during lunch break or after work to take the sausage with them on their hand. Traditionally, one orders the hot dog \u201ceina me\u00f0 \u00f6llu\u201d<\/em>, which means with everything. That includes: <\/p>\n
