Apótek Restaurant
Austurstræti 16
This restaurant is cosy and stylish with friendly
staff and a South American-infused menu. The
name joyfully refers to the fact that the building
used to house a pharmacy in days past, and the
cocktail menu reflects this, split up into painkill-
ers, stimulants, tranquilizers and placebos.
2
The Coocoo's Nest
Grandagarður 23
Nestled in a refurbished fishing hut in the newly
flourishing area of Grandi, The Coocoo’s Nest is
a cosy and airy cafe, offering California-casual
brunch, lunch, and dinner, 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.

Kryddlegin Hjörtu
Hverfisgata 33
Kryddlegin Hjörtu is a cosy restaurant that offers
plenty of healthy options, including a salad and
soup buffet. Swing by if you’re starting to feel
guilty for all of those hot dogs and want more
wholesome and nutritious food. Make sure not
to miss out on their on-location baked bread.
4
Hraðlestin
Lækjargata 8
Despite being the faster and more affordable
cousin to one of the top restaurants in the coun-
try, Austurindíafélagið, flavour is never compro-
mised 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.
5
Snaps
Þórsgata 1
This Reykjavík dining establishment has quickly
become a popular spot for folks with a fine
palate and a modest budget, offering a small
menu drawn from local produce and a carefully
selected wine list. It’s also a cool hangout for
artists and musicians, and we’ve selected it as
our “Best Goddamn Restaurant” every year
since 2012. Make sure to get there early—they
take reservations until 18:30, but after that it's a
free-for-all!

Places We Like
6
Bravó
Laugavegur 22
Bravó is your run-of-the-mill bar that serves de-
cent drinks. They play good music at a comfort-
able volume, and provide good seating options
even late, when most bars have removed their
tables to make room for a dance floor.
7
Mikkeller & Friends
Hverfisgata 12
Mikkeller & Friends offers twenty different craft
beers on draft, and most of them are from Den-
mark’s Mikkeller brewery. Even on a quiet night,
this comfortable place is full of beer enthusiasts
thirsty for something a little different.
8
Bar Ananas
Klapparstígur 38
Bar Ananas is Reykjavík’s only beach bar, and it is
truly a breath of fresh air. This is no dive bar, but
a club, with an indoor smoking lounge, stairs, a
spacious bar, a tiny dance floor, and a solid line
of DJs that all aim to make you bust a move.
9
Húrra
Naustin
With numerous beers on tap, the place is ideal
to sit down for a pint in the early evening, see
a live band step on stage around ten or eleven,
and then dance to sweet tunes by talented DJs
until the wee hours of the night.
Open weekdays 07:30 – 18:00
Open weekends 09:30 – 18:00
