The food scene in Reykjavik

Spent most of our time in port today on a walking food tour with Wake Up Reykjavik.  I had no idea how evolved and tasty the cuisine would be.  Five delicious stops.  The first was a grilled rack of lamb with a mustard herb salsa topping.  Super tender and yummy.

Our next stop included a fish soup and fried oyster mushroom tacos.  Such interesting flavors.

Our third stop was more lamb and fish…the two mainstays of the Icelandic cuisine.  A smoked arctic char on a buckwheat pita and pulled lamb over an egg salad on toast.

The #1 street food of Iceland makes up stop number four…the hot dog.  80% lamb, mustard and horseradish sauce on top and crispy onions underneath.  Odd but delicious combo.

Coming up to the last stop was dessert, a rhubarb crumb cake with ice cream…rhubarb is everywhere.  This was one of the best food tours we have taken.
