The story

Food and Fun Reykjavik in Reykjavík

Food and Fun sends visiting international chefs into Reykjavik restaurant kitchens each late winter to build one-off menus around Icelandic ingredients like lamb, seafood, and skyr. Editions typically run from the last week of February into early March, with each participating restaurant running its own guest-chef menu rather than a single central festival venue, closing with a chef competition.

Food and Fun pairs visiting international chefs with Reykjavik restaurants each late winter, with editions typically running in the last week of February into early March.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The format itself is the distinguishing feature: rather than staging one central festival venue, Food and Fun assigns a visiting international chef to a Reykjavik restaurant's own kitchen for the week, so the guest chef cooks alongside, not instead of, the house team, using primarily Icelandic ingredients like lamb, seafood, and skyr

02

The mystery stays covered

This produces menus unique to each participating restaurant and only available during the festival window, rather than a single unified tasting event

03

The city starts moving

The week has historically closed with a chef competition using shared Icelandic ingredients, giving the decentralized format a visible finale
