Hi All!
I will be visiting Iceland from Canada at the end of May and staying for 2 weeks. I’m so excited to see your beautiful country and will be getting to explore the island via the Ring Road.
Due to a health condition, I have many food intolerances that can make eating while travelling difficult. I have to avoid gluten, dairy, yeast, vinegar, and some other fermented ingredients (condiments, soy sauce). I don’t do well with added sugars. I basically eat extremely clean at home - no processed foods, no added sugars. Lots of fresh vegetables, meat, fruit, and grains (rice, oats).
I know it will be impossible to completely avoid all of the foods mentioned above during my visit - I will need to eat at restaurants at times. I will be bringing lots of snacks with me, shopping at your grocery stores, and cooking when able.
But does anyone have recommendations for restaurants that may have more simple ingredients or that would be okay accommodating? I don’t mind requesting modifications to dishes - for example getting salads and then replacing the dressing with olive oil/lemon. I’m happy if I can get some eggs and veg for breakfast. Or a simple protein and veg side for dinner.
One dish I really am hoping to try is your lamb stew!
Thanks so much for your help.
