No. 5 of Must-Visit Restaurants in Reykjavik

No. 2 of Restaurants for Views & Experiences in Reykjavik

The interior&rsquo;s been redone recently and it&rsquo;s properly cozy. Got a seat by the window with a nice view of the boats. Music was 80s pop, which I wasn&rsquo;t expecting but honestly it worked. Felt a bit like sitting in someone&rsquo;s stylish living room. Wouldn&rsquo;t mind coming back just for that vibe again.

The Swiss mocha was solid&mdash;smooth, no burnt aftertaste. Staff handled the morning rush without making me feel rushed. Good spot if you need a quick coffee and don&rsquo;t want the usual chain experience. Nothing fancy, but it does the job.

The lamb shank was really good, and the staff made sure we were comfortable the whole time. Prices are a bit steep, but that&#39;s pretty normal here.

Came here with a couple of friends after work and honestly the happy hour did not disappoint. We grabbed a table near the window and just chilled for a while. Fish and chips were solid, crispy and not too greasy. Sweet potato fries were the real highlight though. Burgers looked good too but I was too full to try one. Place gets loud later in the evening but it&#39;s the good kind of loud. Would come back for the vibe alone.

Tried the shark and dried fish with a Brennivin shot&mdash;that&#39;s the real deal if you&#39;re into strong stuff. Sunday roast was massive, lamb shoulder, wings, waffle fries on the side. Portion size alone makes it worth the money. Place was busy, took a bit to get served, but I&#39;d go back.

The lamb soup hit the spot&mdash;hot, savory, exactly what I needed after walking around in the cold. Bowl was decent size for the price. Place was a bit cramped but I didn&#39;t really mind. Just a solid, no-fuss meal.

The reindeer burger was solid, smoky and juicy. Smoked trout roe on the side had a nice pop. Presentation was clean, no complaints there.

The lamb pita was fresh, well-seasoned, not greasy at all. Service was quick even though it was busy. Only thing&mdash;the place is a bit cramped, but that&rsquo;s fine for a quick bite. I&rsquo;d go back for that pita again.

Came here with a couple of friends for a catch-up and honestly the space is gorgeous. They were super careful about my food allergies which I really appreciated. Got the fish dish and it was cooked just right. Maybe a bit pricey for what you get but the vibe made up for it. Would come back for a chill dinner. 😊

The pastries and bread were solid, and my cappuccino came out properly made. Nice to find a place open a bit later around here. Seating was comfortable enough that I didn&#39;t feel rushed. Just wish the service had been a touch quicker, but it was fine for a relaxed stop.

Stopped by for breakfast and grabbed a cinnamon roll&mdash;still warm, gooey, not overly sweet. Exactly what I needed. The ham and cheese croissant looked solid too, but I didn&rsquo;t try it. Only downside: barely any seating, so I ended up eating outside. Fine for a quick bite though.

The arctic char was really good&mdash;probably the best fish I&#39;ve had in Iceland. Langoustine bisque was decent too, rich without being heavy. Place was busy even on a weekday, but service kept up fine. Prices are what you&#39;d expect in Reykjav&iacute;k. I&#39;d go back for the char alone.

Staff here actually remembers your order from last time. That kind of attention makes the whole meal feel easy.

The almond croissant here is seriously good&mdash;flaky, not too sweet, and the filling actually tastes like real almonds. I grabbed one before heading to the botanic garden and it hit the spot. Sandwiches looked solid too, though I didn&rsquo;t try one. Service was friendly, nothing fancy. Place is small but fine for a quick stop.

The falafel avocado salad hit the spot. Fresh veggies, creamy avocado, and that yogurt on the side tied it together nicely. Light but filling. Place was a bit quiet for a weekday lunch, but that worked fine for me. I&#39;d come back for that salad again.

The staff really took their time explaining the daily specials in English, which I appreciated as a tourist. Food was solid, nothing mind-blowing but comforting.

The vegan burger was okay but pretty basic&mdash;just cheese, lettuce, and sauce. Fries were the real winner though, super crispy.

Smoked salmon bagel was solid, toasted just right. Good drink selection too. Prices fair for the neighborhood.
