try the catch of the day - will not disappoint! great wine selection, fresh seafood, perfect atmosphere
Closest thing to a pub in Iceland. Hang out with the artists, politicians and what nots. Be sure to order the Bríó beer and act all local.
Very good food and cocktails as well. A bit pricey but worth the money. Service is excellent
Fish soup is really good.Salted cod is too salty for my preference but lamb is a MUST ORDER.Remember to make reservation as this place is very popular. Food is hearty with lots of texture and flavor.
Quite small portions, so make sure you order enough tapas plates. Price is ok...slightly expensive for the amount you get. Good service though. Cozy, warm atmosphere.
One of the best restaurants in the world. In your first visit order the taste menu.
This place just blew me away again. First impressions can sometimes be misleading. But this restaurant is truly superb.
Phenomenal tasting menu made with fresh ingredients from the restaurant's garden! If you're not up for the wine pairing, ask your waiter to choose a few wines by the glass. :)
Look for staff members taking pictures using an iPad. They will email it for free (probably puts you on the mailing list) - a nice memento of the experience
The set menus were excellent, each offering a mixture of seafood and other dishes (lamb and horse were both delicious).
The interior looks like it was decorated by Wes Anderson's set designers. The bar/restaurant has great food and a good selection of Icelandic microbrews.
By far the best coffee in town, really personal, and the baristas love to talk about coffee.
A must visit. This little cafe is friendly, relaxed and looks like a living room. Pop in for a coffee or a hot chocolate.
The wifi password is "iloveyou". Laundry is 500 ISK for a wash and 100 ISK for 15 minutes in the dryer.
One of the best breakfast and brunch spot in Reykjavík. The focus is on delivering tasty and healthy food with fresh ingredients at reasonable prices. Leer más.
Good selection of local and imported craft beers, both on draft and by the bottle
Quite a popular bar with lots of references to the classic film Big Lebowski. The attraction for the locals is the variety of White Russians available (18 different options) and the cool interior. Leer más.
Great atmosphere, free wifi, a bit small but cute, perfect for read something. Just find somewhere to sit and enjoy ;)
When it gets cold out, come here for a hearty soup in bread bowl and a pint of Icelandic Gull beer.
The burgers are sleazy and delicious! After a hard working day or a difficult night out on the town, then this is the place to go. The burgers are one of the best in Reykjavik. Leer más.
Hands down the best Café in Reykjavík. Super nice staff and great atmosphere! I recommend everything on the menu, for example a bagel w/ black pepper&red onion-creamcheese or the vegetable quiche :)
The coffee is great and the staff is so friendly. The atmosphere is relaxed and cozy. This is a perfect place to go when a real good cup of coffee is what you are after. Leer más.
Good for a quick bfast. Supposedly they have free wifi but the password posted didn't work.
Te & kaffi is the biggest coffee chain in Iceland (Read: Starbucks). They still do great coffee and differ from most of the other locations that they also have great selection of tea.
Incredible church shaped like a spaceship, overlooking Reykjavík. A must-see!
Free design exhibits on the ground floor and daily 1,500kr tour of the building. Best deal is the 4th floor bar with a killer happy hour, from 5-7p.
A must when you visit Reykjavik. Located along the waterfront path that will bring you to the old town or the port.
Great place for whale watching. Just be sure to avoid restaurants that serve whale in town - it's not an authentic local dish, just recently adopted to cater to tourists. Leer más.
White fish, shrimp and scallop kebabs are all delicious. Lobster soup is a must! Very reasonably priced.
It has a good pub food and a happy hour on beers between 4pm & 8pm every day. The five-dollar milkshake is one of their trademarks, but ironically it costs around 1590 isk (around 12 USD). Leer más.
Magical place to visit. Check out the water with all the coins from the ages between the continents. Also the main path along the "wall" leads to a waterfall to the right if you're facing it.
Great restaurant in Reykjavik, Iceland. The restaurant turns around and shows at beautiful view over Reykjavik. The food is great!
It's fine. Go once and get some grease in your gullet before drinking like a Viking.
Beautiful waterfall where you can walk behind the waterfall. The climb is not easy so be aware of slippy stones and you will definitely get soaked.
Beautiful beach but be aware - the waves are strong and a big. First thing we saw was a family being too close to the waves and their son got dragged out. Watch the waves!
Definitely my favorite bar in Reykjavik. Love the atmosphere. Knowledgable, courteous bartenders! And while I didn't try the pizza downstairs, it smells delicious.
Touristy, but well located. Grab a window seat for excellent people watching. House red wine is decent. Service is slow - be patient.
