 An essential aspect of travelling to a far off country is getting acquainted with its food culture, not least sampling its unfamiliar national dishes. To taste, to experience and enjoy.

The Skagafjordur Food Chest is a programme which began a few years ago with the aim of getting local producers working together to promote the food culture of the region. Restaurants which are participating in the programme use as many locally sourced ingredients as possible and produce the food according to local custom. The dishes on the menu which have the food chest logo are predominantly made using local ingredients.

All year round visitors are able to access a wide range of local produce in restaurants, shops, markets or even direct from the farmer.
