Small-group Reykjavik food tour with Icelandic classics, from harbour shellfish soup and the 1937 lamb hot dog to Hakarl fermented shark.
“Our guide was entertaining and knowledgeable. Food was decent street food. I had better lamb soup at other Icelandic location and bread with the soup was disappointing. At Doss you indicate: "alcoholic drink Icelandic drink of your choosing. We recommend a special beer or maybe Black Death the one and only Icelandic snaps." We were only offered soda, beer or moonshine. Black Death was never offered. We were on a 10-day tour and tried most of these foods. Quite costly given the portions.”
