The city offers a great variety in food culture. Local cousine, as well as Asian and South European cousine are easy to find. As a proud fishing nation, the fish offered on restaurants are fresh and the dishes can be quite creative.

The place is classy and the atmosphere is cozy. Positioned close to the harbour, eating the burger outside on a sunny day around the fresh sea air, could be the perfect way of getting rid of a hangover.

Cool place with a cool crowd. The interior is interesting with the wallpaper from old newspapers. It sometimes offers live music and there is a piano there waiting for the perfect musician to arrive.

Just to be clear - The food is great! I had my doubts when I saw the prices on the menu, as it was very cheap. The fish soup is around 1200 isk (8 euros), which is a very good deal. There was plenty of fish in the soup and the flavor was an overall delight.

This ambitious place offers good food with the price being little on the high end, but it's worth it. The salmon is delightful and the tuna taco is fantastic (with tuna, bacon, ginger and avocado). The 250gr ribeye, topped with bernaise, is also highly recommended.

The smell will lure you in. The service is fast and friendly. It's one of the most authentic Vietnamese noodle soups you will get in Reykjavik. The price is good and the portion is decent. It's simple and amazing. It can be spicy, so be sure to let them know if that's not your thing.

If your passion in life is burger and beer, then this might be what you have been looking for. It's not the most cozy place you will find and the atmosphere isn't the most attractive one. You will, however, forget all about that after you take the first bite.

I wouldn't call this nice dining. Actually there are real tables, just a counter with some chairs on it. Despite these disadvantages it's quite a tasty pizza. It's not trying to hard on the interior, as their main effort goes into creating the perfect pizza.
