Iceland national selection

Located on the edge of the North Atlantic, Iceland boasts a unique culinary identity, shaped by its exceptional natural environment and centuries-old traditions. Through its participation in the Bocuse d’Or, Iceland affirms its ambition to share this richness and take its place within the movement of world-class gastronomy.

From freshly caught fish from some of the purest waters on the planet to free-range lamb, from artisanal dairy products to wild herbs, Icelandic cuisine reflects a deep connection with nature. Rooted in an ancestral culinary heritage, it is now being reinvented by a new generation of chefs who combine respect for local terroirs with contemporary gastronomic techniques.

The Icelandic national selection for the Bocuse d’Or thus becomes a true laboratory of excellence and transmission. Dedicated infrastructures and a shared commitment to elevating Icelandic cuisine allow the candidates to prepare with both rigor and creativity, in the spirit of excellence that defines this competition.
