If you ever find it cheaper on their own site, tell us and we will match it or explain why we cannot.

About this experience

This is a privately hosted dining experience that invites you into the deliciously weird and wonderful world of Icelandic food—the kind locals grew up with, argue about, brag about, and secretly adore. Designed exclusively for you and your guests, this experience is intimate, relaxed, and deeply personal.

This isn’t stiff white‑tablecloth fine dining. This is Icelandic fine dining our way: cozy, flavorful, story‑soaked, and guided by a born‑and‑raised local who knows exactly why Icelanders eat what we eat—and why we’re proud of it.

Your host will lead you bite‑by‑bite through the foods that shaped Icelandic life for generations. Expect dishes passed down from grandparents, ingredients rooted in survival and tradition, and flavors wrapped in folklore, family secrets, and the occasional mischievous story. In Iceland, every plate has a past—and in this private setting, those stories come alive.

With no crowds and no rushing, the experience unfolds at an unhurried pace, allowing space for conversation, questions, laughter, and connection. By the end, you’ll leave full, happy, and armed with cultural knowledge that turns you into the most interesting person at your next dinner party.

Expect legends, history, humor, and a food journey that’s as authentically Icelandic as it gets—no mass‑tourism nonsense, just the real thing, served with heart.

Perfect for couples, this private dining experience is an intimate way to connect through food, stories, and shared discovery. Whether you’re celebrating a honeymoon, anniversary, or simply carving out meaningful time together while traveling, the relaxed, candle‑lit atmosphere invites conversation and closeness. With no group distractions and a pace set just for you, it’s the kind of evening where laughter flows easily, flavors linger, and memories are made—one unforgettable bite at a time.

Ideal for Couples, Families & Friends

This private dining experience is designed to be shared—whether you’re a couple seeking a memorable evening, a family exploring Icelandic culture together, or friends gathering around great food and good stories. The relaxed, intimate setting makes it easy to connect, laugh, and learn at your own pace, with the experience tailored to your group. Stories are engaging for all ages, the atmosphere is warm and unpretentious, and everyone is welcome at the table. It’s a meaningful way to spend time together while discovering Iceland through its food, traditions, and sense of humor.
