It’s fast, reliable, and does exactly what it’s sup- posed to. In the past year there have been a lot of burger places popping up, but Búllan has con- sistently proved itself to be Reykjavík’s burger joint—it’s perfect for lunch, on-the-go dinner, or a late evening pick-me-up. For a fancier gourmet burger, check out Kex Hostel or Grill Market, but if you want a classic burger and fries, Búllan always has you covered. 2 Hverfisgata 12 Hverfisgata 12 Hverfisgata 12 is not only the best pizza, but has topping combinations that’ll leave you scratch- ing your head at first, but rubbing your belly later. It’s located, conveniently, at Hverfisgata 12, sharing a building with other fancy places like Dill and Mikkeller & Friends. Their comfort food-style potato-topped pizza, as well as the beetroot pizza with walnuts and arugula are crowd-pleasers that manage to be rich, light, sweet and savoury. 3 Austur-Indíafélagið Hverfisgata 56 Austur-Indíafélagið is an institution in Reykjavík. It’s an authentic fine-dining Indian restaurant with all the high-quality spices, recipes and techniques you’d expect to find in a much larger European capital. The menu takes many of the classic recipes of Indian cuisine, and serves them with a creative twist and consistently sky-high quality. Not only is this the best Indian food in Reykjavík, but it’s amongst the very best restau- rants in Iceland—and priced as such. Make sure to call ahead and make a reservation, because it’s very popular. 4 Bergsson Mathús Templarasund 3 Bergsson Mathús makes a great lunch with won- derful accompanying salads. All of their breads are baked fresh and they keep dishes of peanut- butter, jam, and smjör on tempting display for the most gourmet PB&J you've ever had. Jamie Oliver stopped by there when he visited Reyk- javík with his family. With two locations—one downtown and the other in the Grandi harbour area—it’s never too far away. 5 Party Every Night. Cocktails! Bottle Service! Live Music Every Night! 50 different kinds of beer. Live Sports Coverage Kitchen open from 11.00. Ribs - Burgers Chicken Wings! AUSTURSTRAETI 8 • REYKJAVIK The Map 5 Prikið Bankastræti 12 Prikið was voted Grapevine's "Best All-Around Bar" 2016, for (as the award suggests) many reasons. A respected restaraunt by day, Prikið turns up at night and has become a haven for Reykavík's rap and hip-hop scene. 6 Bar Ananas Klapparstígur 38 Melting the country’s often frosty surface, Bar Ananas is a tropically-themed bar filled with deli- cious cocktails, friendly bartenders and sultry tunes. It’s divided into separate spaces so it’s easy to find the perfect spot. 7 Slippbarinn Mýrargata 2 Slippbarinn has for quite a while been the go- to-place for drinking cocktails. The restaurant is stylish and offers a weekly jazz concert as well as regular DJs. They have the classics, something new and something with a twist. 8 Kaffihús Vesturbæjar Melhagi 20 Kaffihús Vesturbæjar, also known as Kaffi Vest, has become a hip spot for Reykjavík’s west-side movers and shakers. A coffeehouse by name and feel, Kaffi Vest also offers a nice selection of craft beers and wines and is open until 23:00.
