Even though they have spread out quite a bit at this point, this is the original shop of the iconic Icelandic hot dog resturant, Bæjarins Beztu ("the town's best"). Hot dogs are a big part of Icelandic food culture so definitely try these out if you ever see one of their stands! I always get a "Eina með öllu / Eina med ollu" or one with everything. That's basically a hot dog with mustard, ketchup, remolade, fresh onion and roasted onion - so, so good.

QUICK NOTES:

  • What it is: The original shop of the iconic Icelandic hot dog resturant, Bæjarins Beztu.

  • Best season: Any.

  • Nice to know: To get the full experience, ask for "Eina með öllu / Eina med ollu" which means "One with everything". It has been pretty popular with fancy celebrities like former US president Bill Clinton, Metallica frontman James Hetfleid, actor Charlie Sheen, reality star Kim Kardashian to name a few. And if you have the same taste in food as Bill Clinton (no idea how you would know that though) then get a hot dog with nothing but mustard.
