Located next to the famous Bar 11, this warm
and cosy place is the complete opposite of
the exhausting and alcohol-fuelled place next
door. It is the place to go to get an evening
started and enjoy a glass of wine (or even
two) with your friends before deciding to
move onto another party, or a place to enjoy
some smooth jazz. During weekends it serves
as a brunch place, whereas on weekdays they
have a great lunch menu. With homemade
cakes, soups, salads and several other dishes,
it provides a very nice alternative to other
places downtown, especially for people with
disabilities, since it features a ramp for wheel
chairs. Oh, and they have a glass roof, too.

Unlike other design shops in town, this one
goes beyond the local borders to bring some
of the most innovative and stylish creations
from designers around the world. They are
also the official sales point of Lomography
in Iceland, so get yourself a Diana camera
and start snapping.

JÖR
This high-end men’s fashion boutique caters
to those whose bodies only tolerate the
finest fabrics and most delicate of tailoring.
Head designer Guðmundur Jörundsson, who
honed his craft in the exclusive haberdasher
Kormaks & Skjaldar, gives impeccable
attention to each item, leaving the wearer
feeling like a million bucks.

If you are the type to enjoy a warm cuppa
with your new book, then IÐA Zimsen is
definitely the place to go. So comb that
moustache, put on your empty frames, wrap
that scarf inventively around you, and head
on over before it becomes too mainstream.
