Get the bigger, more detailed version of The Reykjavík Grapevine City Map at your nearest hotel or guesthouse. Dining 1. Le KocK Tryggvagata 14 The craft burger OG has never been better. No one toasts potato buns to crisp perfection l ike they do, or cooks patties to such medium rare goodness. Everything is made from scratch, including the condiments! This is gourmet fast food, with all of the attention to detail and none of the sacrifice on fun and flavour. 2. FLatey Grandagarður 11 Educating a country beyond their diet of pizza-chain pies is no small feat, but that’s exactly what Flatey sought to do when they burst onto the scene, and for that we applaud them. The Margherita continues to be a panel favourite; who can argue with milky mozzarella and tomatoes? 3. Fine Rauðarárstígur 33 A panel favourite, Fine is a no nonsense, no frills, Sichuanese Chinese restaurant that steadfastly opens Reykjavík’s mind’s and palates to the regional cuisine. The Mala Chicken is a tingling explosion of flavour, literally, thanks to the sichuan peppercorn. For something simple yet exciting, we recommend the Hot and Sour Potatoes. 4. Sono matSeLijur Sæmundargata 11 Sono overlooks a wild-flower meadow and a spectacular view of the Reykjavík skyline. Languorous and idyll ic, the menu too is shaped for slow savouring. The chefs look beyond Iceland for inspiration, whi le sti l l showcasing seasonal , local produce in a l l i ts colourful glory. Foraged herbs, berries, fruits, stems, and flowers all feature on the menu, resulting in a fun affair that serves as a reminder that good vegan food goes beyond batter fried cauliflower. 5. Laundromat Austurstræti 9 Laundromat offers a cool ‘50’s-diner- m e e t s - m a x i m a l i s t- l i b r a r y v i b e , decorated with bright furnishings, maps and colour-coded books. It ’s great for families in general, but teens in particular like the fun decor, burgers and milkshakes. We especially love their vocal support for breastfeeding, as well as the fact that you can actually do laundry here! 6. deig WorKShop Tryggvagata 14 Deig’s ‘poor man’s offer’ is as good as it gets on this abnormally expensive island. For 1500 ISK, you can choose from a handmade bagel with a filling of your choice, any doughnut or pastry from their selection, and a simple drink (coffee, juice or kokomjölk, basically). Even better, they open at 7 a.m., and the offer is valid every weekday, for as long as the bakery is open. 7. SuShi SociaL Þingholtsstræti 5 If you are a group of friends looking for a fun night about town, Sushi Social is the place to be. The menu is ideal for sharing—although, who’d want to share something as delectable as langoustine tempura. Order one—or several—of those colourful drinks with names that recall a tropical holiday to make a fun night even more festive. 8. Sumac griLL & drinKS Laugavegur 28 Sumac is one of the few places that cooks lamb with none of that sous-vide nonsense. An unpretentious lamb rib, cooked on the grill, kissed with smoke and licked by flame is pretty hard to top. Sumac serves it with blistered grapes, fried almonds, a splash of thinned down muhammara and lentils. It’s a dish you can’t get enough of, and thankfully the restaurant hasn’t dared to take it off the menu. 9. Borg 29 Borgartún 29 This is one of the more comfortable food halls to be at, with a wide variety of choices to please most anyone. “Almost every place makes small plates, which is excellent for sharing,” observed one panellist. She’s right, one can choose from sushi at Umami, to burgers at Yuzu, to grilled meats at Bál. 10. FiSh company Vesturgata 2a For the definitive seafood experience in Reykjavík, you’d be hard pressed to find a better spot than Fiskfélagið. Their tasting menus are a great way to try the best Icelandic waters have to offer, from Atlantic cod served Japanese style, to harissa wolf-fish. The sushi platter makes for a great lunch while their fish of the day is usually a generous pan-fried dish with a luscious sauce. 11. Þrír FraKKar Baldursgata 14 This cosy, tucked-away restaurant has not let anything sway them from tradition—you’ll spot everything from foal, to blackbird, to cod throats to plokkfiskur on their menu. Opened in 1989, the restaurant has been run by chef Úlfar Eysteinsson and his family ever since. A visit to this place underlines that good old-fashioned Icelandic cooking can be all kinds of memorable. Drinking 12. röntgen Hverfisgata 12 This place has it all. “It’s crazy how it’s continued to dominate the bar scene in Reykjavík,” one panel l ist raved. “But it’s just got so many elements.It works for every vibe, which is so rare for a bar.” Despite only appearing on the downtown scene a few years ago, the place has already cemented itself among the nightlife legends. 13. jungLe cocKtaiL Bar Austurstræti 9 “Jungle’s vibe naturally caters to an early night crowd. It’s stylish and airy, and, of course, they have the most innovative and delicious cocktails in the city,” enthused one panel member. The panel also praised the bar’s diversity- noting how attendees spanned all ages and demographics. 14. KaFFiBarinn Bergstaðastræti 1 Let’s be real: there’s a reason that Kaffibarinn is sti l l here and ful l of dedicated regulars. At night, you’ll find the crowd gets rowdy, the convos get interesting and the dance floor gets sweaty in the most wonderful way. “It’s the obvious choice,” said a panellist. “Who doesn’t have some crazy story from closing time in the smoking area at Kaffibarinn?” 15. gauKurinn Tryggvagata 22 With dim lights, leather sofas, gender- neutral bathrooms and free tampons, this bar/venue is the preferred hangout for the unorthodox Reykvíkingar. So if you’re looking for like-minded alt/ queer peeps, there you go. From heavy metal fests to quieter indie shows, this second floor haunt does it all. 16. Bravó Laugavegur 22 Bravó: a dark room with amber-toned l ig ht , s i m p le fu rn itu re, a n d cosy bohemian pillows. Their happy hour— perhaps the most prolific in the city— starts at 12:00 everyday and lasts until 20:00. Located in the heart of Laugavegur, it’s also a prime people- watching spot. 17. óðinStorg Óðinstorg It ’s decided: Óðinstorg is the best outdoor drinking spot in Reykjavík. The new square was previously a parking area, but is now an open, airy, designed- for-those-lazy-summer-days paradise. You have good sun, good seating, Snaps, and Bodega, and serious mainland European vibes. 18. SeSSion craFt Bar Bankastræti 14 With its minimal appearance, stainless steel bar backed with dozens of taps and fridges full of beers canned and bottled, Session is a place that, while cosy enough, is made for serious craft heads.
