WHAT TO DO<br />
It wouldn’t be traveling without<br />
trying the local cuisine and the best<br />
way to taste the homegrown fare is<br />
on a food tour. We choose Wake Up<br />
Reykjavik food walks as our guide,<br />
so we would discovery the best of<br />
Reykjavik had to offer.<br />
First stop was hidden gem called the<br />
Icelandic Bar or Íslenski Barinn that<br />
featured one of the most traditional<br />
Icelandic foods, the Kjötsúpa or<br />
Meat soup. This is a lamb soup<br />
with root vegetables that has been<br />
keeping Icelanders warm since the<br />
beginning of time.<br />
Then to the Ostabúðin, or the<br />
Cheese shop for a little meat and<br />
cheese. From there we headed to<br />
Loki, one of the most popular cafe´s<br />
in Reykjavík for something that<br />
I have never ordered before, Rye<br />
Bread Ice Cream. This homemade<br />
ice cream with rye bread has<br />
chocolate and rhubarb syrup on top<br />
- it´s so delicious.<br />
You cannot go to Iceland without<br />
trying the amazing Icelandic Hot<br />
dog and that was our next stop,<br />
the famous Hot Dog stand where<br />
Bill Clinton said he had the best<br />
hot dog in the world! Ein með<br />
öllu or one with everything is the<br />
Icelandic tradition, packed with<br />
ketchup, mustard and a mayobased<br />
relish called remúaði with<br />
both raw onions and then crispy<br />
deep-fried onions. This lamb hot<br />
dog is probably the one spot will<br />
remember the most.<br />
We finish the tour off at Apótek,<br />
a high-end restaurant located<br />
in one of the oldest pharmacies<br />
in Reykjavík. They use the little<br />
apothecary bottles for both milk<br />
and sugar, very cute and the perfect<br />
way to finish this amazing culinary<br />
adventure around Reykjavík.<br />
