Old Harbour Area Old Harbour Depart for whale and puffin watching tours from the old harbour, a lively area, offering an assortment of restaurants and activity centres Future Concert Hall City Pond Hljómskáli Park Taxi Taxi Places We Like Kaffi Hljómalind Café HaitiKisanDeli The only true activist-friendly, community servicing co-op in town, Kaffi Hljómalind lends a breath of fresh air and a welcome alternative to Reykjavík’s beer-stained, decadent cafés. Offering up a fare of vegetarian- to vegan friendly courses, some pretty good coffee and an awesome selection of tea. As well as a free, anarchist library. What else do you need? SKK The first time I entered this exotic little joint, meaning to buy myself a take- away espresso, I ended up with two kilos of fresh and roasted coffee beans due to some language complications and way too much politeness. Since then I have enjoyed probably way-too- many wonderful cups of Haitian coffee, but they’re always as nice, so the two kilos were definitely worth it. SKK This store is incredibly cool. It’s stocked with really unique and quirky clothes, outerwear, accessories and handbags, plus they have an adorable section of kids clothes, kitschy vintage toys and books and even interior design items. Wicked place; definitely worth a visit. CF Getting a good slice of pizza on the go can be an utter ordeal. If you’re not careful, you’ll frequently wind up paying good money for a cardboardy wafer that has been sitting in a heater box for a week. Not at Deli, however. Their slices are consistently awesome and fresh, the topping selection is intriguing and tasteful and, best of all, they’re really cheap. HSM Laugavegi 23 Tryggvagötu 16Laugavegur 7Bankastræti 14 1 98 Babalú Jacobsen Á Næstu Grösum Kaffitár Ban Thai Located on the second-floor of a quirky little building on Skólavörðustígur, Babalú is an inviting, quaint and cosy café serving up a selection of tea, coffee and hot chocolate along with delicious baked goods and light meals. Food and drink aside, Babalú boasts colourfully decorated and super-comfortable surroundings and a genuinely friendly and likeable staff. CF A fairly new venue in town, Jacobsen is owned by some nouveau riche Swedes, and has been providing a non-stop party over the last few months. Besides its importing foreign big-shot DJs and other niceties, it is probably most appreciated for its loooong hours; it doesn’t matter if you stop partying at 2AM or way-too-much AM, Jacobsen is always forking out shots and cocktails. SKK Á Næstu Grösum is an all vegetarian restaurant right in the city centre that features a friendly atmosphere and fair prices. There is always at least one vegan soup on offer and the daily special portions are big and always satisfying. There is even some organic wine on offer. HSM Kaffitár on Bankastræti is a comfortable little café with a great selection of coffee, tea and baked goods on offer. Since Kaffitár is also a big-name Icelandic roasterie the caffeinated beverages on the menu are quality. The wi-fi makes this a nice place to sit and chill with your laptop as well. CF Even though the service at Ban Thai may get a little flaky, the food is always to die for and the place also offers a very pleasant dining atmosphere that puts you right in a comfortable Thai sorta mood. It’s really Reykjavík’s only “fancy” Thai restaurant. Ban Thai has remained a true Reykjavík treasure for the longest time, and is truly one that should be celebrated.
