Rauðhetta og úlfurinn
Rauðhetta og úlfurinn are an enduring
favourite when it comes to supplying the
good people of Reykjavík with their trendy
haircuts—which is odd because trends keep
changing and fashion is notoriously fickle.
“I can always count on excellent service at
Rauðhetta og úlfurinn, they make me look
good every time,” one reader noted.

Shopping
Red Cross Shop
Our favourite place to find bargains. They’ve
got a nice selection of Icelandic sweaters,
and sell all types of clothes for both men
and women. Pretty nice if you’re low on
cash, especially considering the outrageous
prices you can pay elsewhere in this darn
city.

Brynja
In business for more than 90 years now
(and with good reason), this Laugavegur
hardware store offers everything you need
to fix up your house, and compliments it
with some helpful nd knowledgeable clerks
that can even guide you through simple
repairs. So good, you’ll forget Bauhaus even
exists!

Fish.
Not one, but two Fish restaurants have
opened up, one on Ingólfsstræti, the other
on Skólavörðustigur. Whether it's the catch
of the day or a chicken pesto sandwich
you're ordering, you can't go wrong!
