Eating
Drinking
The absolute basics
1 Lobster Soup Truck
By Ægisgarður
Sometimes you need piping hot soup in the
middle of the night. Downing a half pint of
cream at three in the morning is always a good
idea—especially salty, fishy cream. It can also
keep your hands warm while you wait for a cab.
2 Apótek
Austurstræti 16
Apótek is a beautifully decorated res-
taurant in the heart of downtown. The
restaurant is famous for its exquisite
menu, wide selection of wine and beau-
tifully crafted desserts. However, their
cocktails are also otherworldly.
3 Brauð & Co.
Frakkastígur 16
Brauð & Co. has burst onto the bakery scene in
downtown Reykjavík, looking to give Sandholt
a run for its money. It regularly sells out, and
looks poised to become a mainstay in downtown
Reykjavík food c lture. This could be the begin-
ning of an all-out gluten-powered war.
4 Snaps
Þórsgata 1
Snaps has eggs Benedict, Bloody Marys and a
gin and tonic menu. It also has cava for under
1000 ISK. When someone from Chicago or
Toronto says, “Let’s go for brunch,” this is the
kind of place they mean—a comfortable Sunday
recovery spot.
5 Jómfrúin
Lækjargata 4
Jómfrúin makes classic Danish and Scandinavian
dishes. You eat your open faced sandwiches
while taking sips of aquavit. The shrimp pyramid
has become a popular dish, but, recently after
the Euro Cup, so has the salty “Portuguese” dish.
you’re in a time machine, while your parents will
think they’re having flashbacks. That, my friend,
is a bargain.

6 Gaukurinn
Tryggvagata 22
This music venue is reinvented itself many times
over the years, but still bears the hallmarks of
its rock scene roots. It has a big sound system,
good stage lighting, and just the right kind of
dinginess for live music of all flavours.
7 Kaffi Vinyl
Hverfisgata 76
This recent arrival fills a welcome spot in the
Reykjavík bar scene, offering a selection of good
vegan food and a chilled-out atmosphere. It’s a
nice spot for a quiet beer, a vegan cup of coffee
and some laptopping.
8 Tívolí
Hafnarstræti 4
This downtown bar fills the hole left by Dolly,
one of Reykjavík’s grittier establishments. It’s
quickly become a favourite among some locals
for its nice decor, and there are rumours of rea-
sonably priced (and reasonably good!) cocktails.
9 Frederiksen Ale House
Hafnarstræti 5
Frederiksen has nine beers on draft. Their happy
hour is from 16:00 to 19:00 and they offer a two
for one deal so you can actually get a beer for
only 450 ISK. It’s the perfect place to catch a
drink and a good meal after work.
