About

I'm a wife and mum of two, living in the Hlíðar neighbourhood of Reykjavík. I spend an unreasonable amount of time thinking about where to eat next.

I started @rvkfoodie because the restaurant advice out there for visitors was terrible — TripAdvisor top-tens full of tourist traps, bloggers who'd never set foot in a real neighbourhood spot, and Google results that rewarded mediocrity.

These guides are my antidote. Every restaurant, café, and bar in them is a place I go to myself, often with my family. I know the chefs, I know the menus, and I know what to order. Nothing is sponsored. Nothing is paid placement. If it's in the guide, it's because I genuinely think you should eat there.

The guides are updated regularly — places close, menus change, new spots open. When you buy a guide, you're getting recommendations that are current, not a snapshot from two years ago.
