My favorite vegan friendly restaurants

If you want to be kind to the animals and the environment (and yourself) while staying in Iceland there´s a ton of restaurants that offer vegan options. If it doesn´t say on the menu what those are, just ask!

Golden Circle Classic: Guided in 10 Languages
Eva Kristín:The most typical touristy thing to do in Iceland is the Golden Circle. Honestly it´s unnecessary to pay for this tour, just google "Gullfoss" and "Geysir".
