61 Best Restaurants in Iceland

Restaurants in Iceland are small and diverse. You can expect superb seafood and lamb. The fresh fish is not to be missed—likely some of the best you'll ever have. Besides native cuisine, eateries offer everything from Asian to French to Italian. Pizzas, hamburgers, ice cream, and a tasty local version of the hot dog, with fried and raw onions, are widely available. Most restaurants accept major credit cards.

Perhaps the best way to save substantially on meal costs (besides choosing from the specials of the day) is to forgo alcohol, the price of which essentially doubles from liquor store (where it isn't cheap to begin with) to restaurant table.
