Eating
Drinking
The absolute basics
1 Búllan
Geirsgata 1
Búllan is fast, reliable, and does exactly what it’s
supposed to. In the past year there have been
a lot of burger places popping up, but Búllan
has consistently proved itself to be Reykjavík’s
burger joint—it’s perfect for lunch, on-the-go
dinner, or a late evening pick-me-up.
2 Hverfisgata 12
Hverfisgata 12
Located, conveniently, at Hverfisgata 12, this hip
pizza spot shares 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 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 culture. 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.

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 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 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.
