Iceland’s Honest Food Review | Must-Try & Skip-Worthy Eats 🇮🇸🍽️
📍 Why This List? As a picky eater with a Chinese palate, I survived Iceland’s limited food scene—here’s my no-filter, no-BS ranking of restaurants tried during my ring-road trip. 🍽️ Restaurant Rankings (Best → Worst) 1️⃣ Vogafjós Farm Resort (Mývatn) 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 ✔ Surprise Hit: Lamb leg (zero gamey taste!) + smoked salmon on rye bread. ✔ Skip: Fresh milk. 2️⃣ The Old Dairy (Selfoss) 🌟🌟🌟🌟🤩 ✔ Taco Triumph: Shrimp taco (better than North America’s). ✔ Pizza Twist: Date-infused pizza (weird but good). 3️⃣ Fish & Chips @ Mývatn 🌟🌟🌟🌟 ✔ Post-Spa Bliss: Crispy cod, tartar sauce (avoid weird “family sauce”). 4️⃣ Restaurant Súður-Vík 🌟🌟🌟 ✔ Lamb Lovers Only: Juicy but gamey. ✔ Arctic Char: Pumpkin-seed sauce = forgettable. 5️⃣ Pakkús (Höfn) 🌟🌟 ✔ Overhyped Lobster: Meh texture, imported from Canada/US. 6️⃣ Glacier Lagoon Food Trucks 🌟 ✔ Salty AF: Fish & chips = inedible salt bombs. ✔ Lobster Roll: Bland, $25 for a hot dog bun. 💡 Brutally Honest Tips ✔ Best Meal: Vogafjós lamb (converts non-lamb eaters). ✔ Budget: $30–50/meal ✔ Skip If: You’re from North America (lobster/steak won’t impress). #IcelandEats #NoFilterFood #NoSadFish
