Hverfisgata 12
In an era when everyone is obsessed with
visibility and self-promotion, Hverfisgata
12 attracts its own crowd through word of
mouth and nothing more. It offers the kind of
pizzas you are unlikely to have tried before,
with inventive toppings such as barbecue
sauce, shredded pork, pears, roasted seeds
and horseradish cream.

Places We Like
Nora Magasin
With its hardwood tables, turquoise blue
walls, huge French windows and funk music
playing in the background, Nora Magasin
has all the makings of a classy place. The
food is entirely homemade and designed by
an imaginative team that's always adding fun
novelties to the menu.
Pósthússtræti 9

Sólon Bistro
Don't find your crowd at Prikið? Maybe you'll
fit right in on the other side of the street at
Sólon Bistro. A café in the daytime, restaurant
in the evening and a club at night. A great
location in the middle of Laugavegur and
ideal for people watching.
Bankastræti 7a
8 Kaffibarinn
A popular café on weekdays, on weekends
Kaffibarinn turns into a ticket for a wild
night out, as the space fills up with the
late-night souls oozing energy in every
corner. With DJs playing and the occasional
rock band, the party usually lasts until early
morning, yet often manages to leave you
begging for more.
Bergstaðastræti 1
9Mikkeler & Friends
Mikkeler & Friends offers twenty different
craft beers on draft, and most of them are
from Denmark’s Mikkeller brewery. Even on
a quiet night, this comfortable place is full of
beer enthusiasts thirsty for something a little
different.

Bravó is your regular run-of-the-mill bar
that serves decent drinks and doesn't try to
be anything that it's not. The bar plays good
music at a comfortable volume that allows
for conversation, and provides good seating
options even during late nights, when most
bars have removed their tables to make room
for a dance floor.

Hafnarstræti 1-3
This family-run restaurant has no shortage of
authentic and delicious Italian cuisine, as well
as dishes with an Italian twist—grab the burger
if you can, it is top notch. When the weather
allows it, they also offer outdoor seating.

Laugavegur 22
Bravó
Hraðlestin
Despite being the faster and more afford-
able cousin to one of the top restaurants in
the country, Austurindíafélagið, flavour is
never compromised by promptness. Their
short selection of authentic Indian cuisine is
cooked with the finest ingredients, the spices
are masterfully blended and the experience is
wholly satisfying.

Lækjargata 8
The Coocoo's Nest
Nestled in a refurbished fishing hut in
the newly flourishing area of Grandi, The
Coocoo’s Nest is a cosy and airy cafe, offer-
ing California-casual brunch, lunch, and din-
ner, with an Italian twist. With large windows
and light wood throughout, this is perfect for
a lazy Saturday get-together or an afternoon
"aperitivo" after work. If you are in that part of
town, head over for a warm-up.
