However, the country's culture is unique and exceptional, which can also be said about the traditional food of Icelanders. Local cuisine reflects the country's limited resources.

There are many places in Iceland where you can enjoy the local and international cuisine. Hot dogs are especially popular in Iceland. Baejarins Beztu Pylsur is a chain of hot dog stands in Reykjavik. There are always crowds of people in front of them - that's how good these hot dogs are. Sweet tooths should definitely visit "Ísbúð Vesturbæjar", a small ice cream shop in the capital. The best ice cream in all of Reykjavik has been sold here for more than a decade. Those who prefer classic restaurants will appreciate Old Iceland, a family restaurant in the heart of the capital, where, among other things, clam cream soup with white wine and wonderful Almond Cake are served. In the port city of Seydisfjörður, you'll find an excellent top-level sushi bar, “Norð Austur” (“Northeast”), using only the freshest fish caught by local fishermen.
