Plant Powered Planet
Veg an in Reykjavík
Iceland is without doubt one of the most magical places on the planet. Known as the land of fire and ice, due to the meeting of sub-zero temperatures and explosive volcanoes, it is a country like no other. In recent years, it has emerged as a must-stop location for keen travellers, seeking out the natural wonders on offer, and a chance to see the elusive northern lights.
“If you are trying not to bankrupt yourself, you may want to consider making some food for yourself”
Alas, my trip didn’t bring the magic of the northern lights, but nonetheless, the trip surpassed all expectations. Book your holiday with caution though: Iceland is expensive. If it’s a cheap getaway to escape your day-today life you want, then Iceland probably isn’t the destination for you. Especially, if you are hoping to eat out regularly.
I arrived in Reykjavik with limited expectations about the food on offer. An island renowned for its fish dishes didn’t seem like the best place to find vegan food, and that was true of the rural areas we visited. However, in the capital of Reykjavik, plant based options were aplenty.
