Popular Foods and Things To Do in Reykjavik Iceland!

In episode 121, we take you from the country of Iceland to the capital city of Reykjavik. Here we try a few different popular food options as well as a delicious blueberry white russian.
We realize there are the absurd food options like Hákarl (fermented shark) but that's not really our cup of tea if ya know what I mean!

Went to Reykjavík earlier this year. Love the place. Love the people. Great country. Need to go back.

[@MathersOnTheMap]

Agreed Iceland and its people are both amazing!

Great video ! Thank you for another 10-15 mins vlog. Perfect length 🙏

We will be there in a month. Thanks for sharing your video. I did miss the name of the bakery you were ar

[@brynjolfurolafsson7496]

Fun vid! The “mayo” is actually a creamy type of relish. The sausage itself is predominantly lamb meat. And I will fight anyone who compares the Icelandic hot dog to your run-of-the-mill ballpark dog or disparages it without trying the “works”. 😄

[@MathersOnTheMap]

Haha I hear ya! the hot dogs are delicious!

Really great series guys. Looking forward to visiting Norway next! You must shoot a lot of footage so just wanted to let you know I appreciate how good the editing is to distill it all down to bite size chunks. Loving your work!

Nice video we’re going next month, hope we get good weather ☑️

Thanks! Hope you do too, enjoy it!

[@paullucas7053]

Great video, thanks for sharing. We were in Iceland the beginning of May and watching this brought back some great memories......yes those hot dogs were awesome.....we were adventurous enough to try the fermented shark and it was horrible...💥......LOL......but hey, another experience. If you are in for upscale dining, try Sushi Social and a Michelin star restaurant called Dill. 👏🏻👏🏻👍👍🇮🇸💥☀️

[@MathersOnTheMap]

Hey Paul thank you!! man you guys tried the shark!? haha a local told us it's nasty and not to bother haha. We'll have to try those next time!

I commented below, I should probably add that I live in Reykjavík (immigrant- I’m British) I love watching tourist’s videos of visiting here and I really liked how honest you guys were.

[@MathersOnTheMap]

Hey Joanne!! Thanks so much for the support and for watching, we’re happy to hear you are enjoying them! ❤️❤️ Iceland is amazing!

[@614LkyDvls]

Love it! Funny thing is I went to many of the same places a month later in June - wearing shorts and a t-shirt!

[@MathersOnTheMap]

Man that would have been nice!

[@alexandrab5904]

I recommend the basic bakery’s like Kornið, bakarameistarinn too their cinnamon buns with caramel sauce is really good

[@MathersOnTheMap]

Good to know!! We will have to add it on our list when we head back!

[@VancouverIRL]

Also recommend the Vínarbrauð from Brauð & Co! So good!

[@MathersOnTheMap]

I’m starting to believe everything from there is delicious!!!

[@joanne8546]

Reykjavík Roasters provides the beans for OmNom chocolate’s ‘coffee and milk’ bar. I hope you guys tried it, it’s out of this world!

Dang we didn’t have that unfortunately

[@BeersFrontiers]

We're are headed their next week and plan to shoot a few videos. Hopefully all the walking around we'll keep from getting fat 😀 The food looks amazing, can't wait to try the hotdogs. Nice video guys, you've got a new sub

[@doodsanddudes]

Vanilla raspberry croissant. Yes please. Looks like some cool things in rekyvic. I am with you on sweet potato fries. Regular is good but to starchy. Haha

[@fil0sofia]

I'm going to Reykjavik in a few days, thanks for the tips! I'll have to try that café, and the cocktails looked amazing too. :) Definitely trying the hotdogs lol. I've never seen anyone put the toppings underneath the hotdog before, I thought I was the only one in the world to do that. :)

[@rob12235923]

I was just there 2 months ago, do yourself a favor , rent a car, hot dog was amazing , I stayed at Icelandic Nordic, right near city and parking is free

[@MathersOnTheMap]

The cafe is AMAZING!! Def get the raspberry thing, and the yummy White Russians at the bar! The hotdogs are pretty good too!! Enjoy your trip!!!

[@bogami2126]

Can you send me invitation letter

[@rchender]

The hotdogs are amazing. Be sure when they ask you, to order it 'with everything'! The taste is fantastic and I've even ordered the hotdogs here in the U. S. (from Iceland) along with ALL the same Icelandic 'fixings' that they use in the street kiosk. Pretty pricey doing that with the high shipping costs, but each one I eat takes me back right to the street kiosk in Reykjavik. And just so you know, I'm NOT talking about eating them in Iceland recently. That kiosk was there serving the hotdogs the two times I was in Iceland in 1973 and 1974, so it is definitely a longstanding well-known famous institution! Street food at its best!!!

[@sarahhelmer7902]

They have really delicious lamb soup too

[@TylerandMolly]

This made us soooooo hungry friends! 😍 We have always wanted to visit Iceland for the views but now we want to visit for the food!

[@MathersOnTheMap]

Haha I’d argue the views are way better than the food! Fish and chips in Husavik though are top notch!

[@euglendshehu1131]

well really good combination you nou

[@MathersOnTheMap]

Thanks Euglend!

[@leezynel7203]

No "Mather's On The Map" trip would be complete without sampling some local pastries 🍩 and coffee ☕!😂 Ketchup on a hotdog? 👎 Nope... mustard, relish and onions for me please! 👍😂 Lobster bisque soup! A definite 👍 Vanilla milkshake! 👍 LASTING IMPRESSION: The breathtaking waterfalls and landscape. LASTING MEMORY: Your heads up preview about the cold temperatures in Iceland while we were in Baja enjoying the warm sunshine. BEST LINE OF THE TRIP! When you said to Taylor: "No worries, whatever we missed this trip... will we see on our next visit"! 😱😂 Was the trip worth it? ABSOLUTELY IN MY OPINION!!!

[@MathersOnTheMap]

Haha gotta throw in a pastry or two. Iceland was a great trip, a journey for sure! Still plenty to see though so we gotta go back!

[@stuartmiller9648]

Would love to visit but the cold and windy weather puts us off going sadly...

[@bobkatc9368]

Hi, great video. Did you need any cash in Iceland or did everyone take credit card?

Everyone takes card from what we recall!

@@MathersOnTheMap there are so many beautiful spots, but my TWO favorite parts were getting up super close to puffins at the Latrabjarg cliffs in the westfjords and the hike at the top of the steps at Skogafoss…straight out of Lord of the Rings! Did you guys do either of those??

Bottom line, people--Go to Iceland. It's amazing. There are so many different ways to enjoy it. We stayed at a boutique hotel near Reykjavik and rented a car instead of camping. My only advice is 3 days is NOT ENOUGH.

[@travelgreatvacations]

I feel like Iceland has everything you’d want in a country! Thank goodness they tricked us with the name originally to keep from overpopulation 🤣🙌

next time put the camera into wash machine an would be the same effect

[@MathersOnTheMap]

I don't think it works if it gets wet.

[@JoyAngelx3]

I just was there and I loved the Roasters and the cinnamon rolls. But the Hot Dogs were expensive (about 7€) and disgusting. Tasted like the 1€ Ikea Hot Dogs. 2/10 would not recommend. But if you are up for the walk you should go to the isbudin gardabæ

[@Michael-wg1mt]

FYI, Iceland gets its lobster from Nova Scotia Canada. Almost 60 of the world's lobster comes from Canada. Just saying. And you don't put ketchup on hotdogs. Lol. Great Iceland series.

[@einarthorlacius1600]

Nahh both wrong, we fish our own “lobster” its actually langoustine, but we usually just call it lobster. And the traditional hotdog in Iceland has ketchup on it!

[@darbyheavey406]

The beer got better in the last 15years….Vik beer was not as good as Bud

The hotdogs taste fine, but are nothing very special and overpriced :P .

Haha true but ya gotta try it while you there!! 🌭

[@anna-ranja4573]

Next time you have to try the Lamb Burger by Plan B five minutes busride away from the city

[@ericcsaba8779]

These hot dogs are NOT NOT the best. I would not get them again. I did like the French's Original Crispy French Fried Onions on the dog idea. But the best dog ...... Not at all. A crapy hot dog at the ball park is much better. So many better things to eat in Iceland.

[@kevinstfort]

Definitely the best on the world.
