Lobster Hut
Another contributor to the growing wave of
street food, The Lobster Hut brings downtown
Reykjavík the all-too-elusive combination of
fresh seafood and quick service. Garnering an
impressive 4 star review in a previous issue,
The Lobster Hut has proven that it does not
mess around. Try the lobster soup (perfect for
cold, dreary weather), the lobster sandwich
(hits the spot on a sunny day), or get the
combo and taste both if you, like the weather,
can’t make up your mind.

Lucky Records
Boasting a huge location just next to Hlem-
mur, this is hands-down the finest record
store in town. Crate-diggers will marvel and
fawn over their selection while the lay music
listener can easily pop in to pick up the lat-
est from their favourites. Live music and DJs
are regularly scheduled.
Winner: Best Record Store
