Don’t Faint When You Get the Bill!
Eating, drinking, shopping and pretty much everything in Iceland is more expensive – hardly surprising when you realise that most fresh produce has to be imported.
However, unless you choose to dine at the most expensive restaurants in the capital, you can expect to pay slightly more than New York prices – around $80 meal for a three course with wine would be typical.
Pubs too are slightly more expensive with beer coming in at around $8 a pint – not far off the typical $6-7 we’re getting used to paying in the US.
Nightclubs are a different story – you could easily pay around $20 for a beer but it’s common for Icelanders to do their drinking at home before heading out.
