I will be in Iceland with my son next week and would like to do this. My son would not eat anything other than the pancakes (very picky eater). Would there be enough pancakes for him? Or is it limited? He would pass on any other food but I know he would love the pancakes. Thank you for any information you can give me.

Answer

HI! We have as many pancakes as you can eat, both of you! :) But for kids - and eating, if they don´t like the Icelandic lamb-soup, then the Day-event at 13:00 is perhaps more to eat for them, it is a buffet of bread and... More

I would like to book this trip one evening when I am in Reykjavik at the end of July. I would like to bring my 2 children age 8 and 11 who are very seasoned travellers and appreciate good food. Are children welcome in the evening? I ask because England is not a very child friendly place and thought I had better check!

Answer

Hahaaa, that's funny about what you said re children in England. I was raised there and know what you mean. I'm sure your children would be welcome. There is some learning about the culture and language. Which I loved! If... More

Nice way to start your trip in Iceland

When we arrived on day 1 tours were all gone due to timing of arrival. After browsing the offering I found this cooking / culture / language class. We did not regret - on the contrary, the class is run by a husband and wife...More

Great experience

We very much enjoyed the lesson about islandic culture and food. Egill and Gigja did a fantastic job at sharing the history, traditions, language, and food of Iceland with us! We highly recommend this to everyone who is going to Iceland.

What a wonderful way to spend an evening! We have been to Reykjavik several times, but this evening was probably about the best outing we've experienced there. Our hosts were warm and generous; the food is simple but amazingly flavorful and filling. We learned a...More
