Farmer’s Soup
So you’re downtown, it’s lunchtime and you
are starving. Subway is too commercial,
McDonalds has left Iceland, and you’ve
already visited all of the other cheap options.
So why not check out the soup van? They’ve
got big portions of traditional Icelandic
kjötsúpa (“meat soup”), you know, the kind
that absolutely fills you up. Check out what
we think of it in the food review section, it
was absolute murder. Late on weekends the
van relocates to Lækjartorg to serve the night
owls and party people.

Gullkistan
One of the oldest established businesses
in the country, these goldsmiths have
transcended nearly 150 years and have seen
three generations of the same family pass
down their coveted tradition. Their works
are truly unique pieces of Icelandic tradition.
Frakkastígur 10
12JÖR
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.
