Icelandic food in general is based on fish and lamb, as well as owing much to Scandinavian and European influences. Fresh fish can be had all year round – Icelanders eat mostly haddock, cod, plaice, halibut, herring and of course Icelandic salmon and Arctic char that are also very good. The lamb, which is reared locally, is free range, organic and extremely tasty. Make sure you try it at least once during your stay in Iceland. There is also a heavy emphasis on vegetables grown in greenhouses heated by the natural geothermal powers.

Dairy products are very good thanks to the clean air, water and grass. Bars have table and/or counter service, and will serve coffee as well as alcohol. Alcohol is very expensive. If you would like to pick up some tipples, please do so in the Duty Free before you exit custom in the airport.

Tap water is safe to drink in Iceland and it is one of the countries with cleanest water in the world. Coffee is easy to find and is comparable to what is foundthroughout Europe. Juices are generally imported and made from concentrate.
