Every year locals gather with family, friends, or coworkers and feast on some delicious Icelandic food. This takes place starting Mid-November and goes through Christmas. The feast includes smoked salmon, duck, various salads, breads, and desserts. I would highly recommend joining one if you are visiting Iceland during this time!
Thank you to Fjörukráin for having us at your beautiful Viking Restaurant!
