The 7th Annual Food and Fun Festival in Reykjavík, Iceland, invites you February 20-25 to come and enjoy all the best food that Iceland has to offer .
The name really says it all... Food and Fun is an event which combines outstanding culinary skills, fresh natural ingredients, Icelandic outdoor adventure and the world-famous Reykjavik nightlife to create the ultimate recipe for fun.
The core element of the festival involves world acclaimed chefs who collaborate with Reykjavik's best restaurants. Each chef is assigned to one of the participating restaurants, where they prepare a special menu, made out of Icelandic ingredients only. The menu is presented at all the restaurants for an entire week. In addition, the chefs themselves are on site for three nights during the festival week.
This looks like an amazing event!
