Reykjavik’s Cuisine and Café Culture

The final frontier in the Subarctic is Reykjavik, Iceland’s cosmopolitan capital.  There are winning museums, festivals all year around, and a thriving guild for craftspeople. Local food-finds include veggies, lamb, herbs, and seafood.  At the harbor, stop into the chocolate factory—it is beyond words. But, whatever you do, sample the bohemian cafés downtown.

Coffee is a passion in Iceland, and there is a café on every corner. Pick one with a comfy chair and open a book.  Walk across the street for a mocha.  Sublime. When evening rolls around, these sweet spots often turn into cafes with bars, dinner menus, and rowdy music.  Imagine Ethiopian and Moroccan food.  It’s yours.  Mexican?  Absolutely. Some cafes slow down around 4 a.m.  Because of Reykjavik’s size, there’s an earthy, community vibe.  Let go.  Be part of it.
