You probably know that Iceland isn’t the most vegan friendly country ever. With whale meat, puffin meat and skyr a part of their cuisine. Having said that, the northern most capital city, Reykjavik, is surprisingly vegan friendly. Here’s a list of my favourite vegan eats in Reykjavik.
Reykjavik Chips
This place has a simple concept. Chips and beer. I’m a simple gal and this suits me just fine. What’s so special about this place are the dips. They have one vegan dip (two if you include ketchup) that is a cashew based sauce. It tastes just like peanut butter. Weird, yes. Delicious? Definitely.

C is for Cookie
If you’re wandering around Reykjavik with a sweet tooth, I’d recommend C is for Cookie. Here you’ll find vegan cookies, cakes and other treats. Get yourself a coffee or tea to wash it down.

Glo
Probably the most photogenic restaurant in Reykjavik, this place has a huge variety of cooked and raw vegan food (and chicken for some reason). It even has some cakes that I really shouldn’t have eaten after a huge lunch.

Lemon
Fancy a juice? Head over to Lemon for a variety of freshly squeezed smoothies and juices. None of the sandwiches are vegan, but they offer so many juices and smoothies, you’ll still be spoilt for choice.
