Fresco
For the last few weeks, we've heard
nothing but high praise for Subway's new
competitor, Fresco. Situated where Ali Baba
used to be on Suðurlandsbraut, Fresco is
perfect for car commuters and the 108 post
code. True to its name's meaning being
'fresh' and 'cool' in Italian and Spanish,
Fresco's meals are all sorts of salads. If you
can dream of a salad and wraps, you can
probably make it a reality here.

Spúútnik
If you have an afternoon to kill to look for
some real gold, head to this trendy second-
hand shop to look through their endless
stock of fashions from decades gone by.
This is where the revolving door of fashion is
truly found in town.
Laugavegur 28b
12Gilbert Úrsmiður
For this team of timepiece aficionados,
making a watch is not simply mechanics
but rather an artistic and meditative craft.
Opened in 2005 by four watch collectors
and designers, their handcrafted collections
have quickly gained popularity at home and
garnered attention abroad.

Gangleri Outfitters
Hverfisgata 82
10
The power duo Vaidas & Óskar started out as
party buddies until they discovered their joint
passion toward outdoor living. This passion
grew to become Gangleri Outfitters. They rent
out and sell everything that an unequipped
traveller might need in Iceland.
