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.

Hverfisgata 12
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. Their bacon and egg pizza is
to die for, don’t miss it.
3
Icelandic Fish & Chips
Tryggvagata 11
Not your average fish 'n’ chips joint, this healthy
restaurant uses only organic vegetables and
quality fish products to serve up a fancy take
on a fast food classic. The spiced ‘Skyronnaise’
sauce is a special treat, and their location in the
Volcano House by the harbour is full of charm.
4
Mandi
Veltusund 3b
Here you’ll find the perfect lunch for a sunny
day, the perfect meal after a night out and the
best bite for your hangover. Whatever it is you
crave, the friendly staff of Mandi understands.
They prepare the freshest hummus and tastiest
shawarmas — just remember to ask for extra
spice. They’ll know what you mean.
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!

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
Reykjavík Roasters
Kárastígur 1
Reykjavík Roasters make the best coffee you will
drink in Reykjavík. They roast their beans on-site
and employ folks who know just how to churn
out a good cup of whatever type coffee it is you
thirst for.
9
Loft Hostel
Bankastræti 7
With a brilliant location right in the centre of
the action, the views from the upstairs bar and
rooftop patio at the Loft Hostel can't be more
entertaining. This hostel is also a hotspot for live
music and hobnobbing.
