Icelandic Food Produce
There are many ways to enjoy Icelandic food, such as dining at the restaurants, visiting the producers to taste and learn about the produce, and enjoy it as an imported good in other countries. The Icelandic restaurant scene has been booming for the last years and many Icelandic chefs hold international awards. There is a great variety of high quality restaurants in Iceland, many of them specialize in using Icelandic raw ingredients. Some choose a traditional cuisine while others choose to explore new ways of preparing the food. The Icelandic chefs, many of who hold distinguished international awards, intertwine the fresh, quality ingredients, their family´s food traditions, innovative way of thinking and their professional skills to offer memorable and delicious meals. The international awards include a bronze medal in the Bocuse d´Or, that chef Viktor Orn Andresson won in January 2017 and Iceland´s first Michelin star, achieved by chef Ragnar Eiríksson and his team at DILL restaurant in Reykjavík."
