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 Miklatún Park Kjarvalsstaðir National Museum Hljómskáli Park Vesturbæjar Swimming Pool Taxi Taxi Taxi Kringlan Shopping Center Places We Like C is for Cookie Hemmi & ValdiBoston Eymundsson This cosy new café owned by Polish couple Agnieszka and Stanislaw is the latest addition to the Reykjavik café scene and already looks set to become a favourite with the locals. Ideal for an early lunch or spending a lazy afternoon deciding which of Agnieszka's delicious home baked cakes you want to try next. I'd go with the cheescake, its pretty fabulous. EF The “colonial store” Hemmi and Valdi was probably 2008’s most surprising crowd pleaser. The cosy hangout advanced from being a toasty retreat, where you could get cheap beer and have a quiet chat, into being a chock-full concert venue and an all- night party place. And believe me, the new atmosphere is brilliant. SKK Like an older sibling to the fabled (now deceased) Sirkús, Boston is a warm and mellow second-floor bar on Laugavegur that plays host to the arty party crowd. The baroque wall dressings and deep, rich coloured décor make this bar feel pretty swank, but the mood of the place can go from great to legendary within a heartbeat. CF Eymundsson is a chain with several outlets but the one on Skólavörðustígur is the best in town. Housed on the ground floor of what was once a Spron Credit Union, the building has a solid institutional feeling—cosy if that’s your bag. The premises are equipped with a coffee shop, tables and sofas to lounge in and the all-glass exterior lets in a lot of light, which is good for reading real books, not facebooks. This Eymundsson also regularly hosts book readings, signings and other small events such as concerts and art exhibitions, organized in a pleasantly spontaneous and laid back way. AK Týsgata 8 Laugavegur 21Laugavegur 28Skólavörðustígur 11, 1 98 Trúnó Located just below Barbara, Trúnó is the most recent addition to Reykjavík's straight- friendly gay scene and swings between cosy café by day and lively bar by night. Generally relaxed atmospher but given to hosting special events and spinning the drinks wheel. AK Laugavegur 22 3 Habibi This small restaurant offers up a concise menu of delicious Arabic cuisine, from shawarma to kebabs and falafels. The staff is really friendly and accommodating of requests to kick up the spiciness or tone it down if the customer so desires. Habibi seriously hits the spot after hours of partying (or any other time of day) so it’s convenient that the place is allegedly open until 6 a.m. Friday and Saturday (although their advertised opening hours are sometimes not adhered to). CF Hafnarstræti 18 6 Svarta Kaffi If you're looking for a hearty, warming lunch at good value then head down to this cosy café for a bowl of their yummy soup. Doing away with dishes and bowls, the soup comes served in a hollowed out loaf of wholewheat bread, and the best bit is that it’s refillable if you’re still hungry. Sweet! And, when you’re done you can enjoy some people watching on Laugavegur below. EF Laugavegur 54 5 Vitabar Located on the corner of Vitastígur and Bergþórugata, Vitabar (Lighthouse bar) is the place to go when you're in the mood for a slightly soppy yet delicious burger served up with thick French fries and a little of that local pub feeling. In addition to their legendary Gleym-mér-ei (Forget-me-not) blue-cheese burger, they do steaks, egg burgers, beer and schnapps. Good service, fair prices. AK Bergþórugata 21 4 7 Havarí Even before it opened, Havarí was everybody’s favourite new music and design store. Headed by Svavar Pétur and Berglind of Skakkamanage, the shop shills the musical goods of Kimi Records, Borgin Hljómplötur, gogoyoko and Skakkapopp as well as posters, art, design products and clothing.
