This place is a must! The lobster soup is delicious and the place really gives you the feeling that you can't get more authentic ;-)
Authentic and super fresh fish skewers! Also, the place is much bigger than what it seems in the photos.
I can’t stop thinking about the lobster soup. Delicious, comforting, and full of flavor. The bread is also incredible! Order up a bowl, grab a Gull beer, & enjoy this quaint authentic seafood shack.
Cozy vibes, authentic eats, they don't lie when they say the lamb in Iceland is the best you'll ever have! Get a taste of both seafood and meat soup by opting for appetizer portions.
Authentic food in a really cozy atmosphere. Amazing local flavors. The soup and the cod is a must
The most wonderful cafe on the walking street. The owner is very friendly and makes you feel comfortable.
Authentic Icelandic spot right next to Hallgrímskirkja. Be brave and try the shark sampler and dried fish with butter. (Don't smell the shark before consumption)
good portions, authentic Íslandic, get brennevin in hot chocolate, you won't regret it
If you want to be adventurous, this is the place to go:) They also have lovely rye bread and desserts if you want a nice snack.
Bougie Icelandic dining with authentic fare. Get the fish of the day
If you're open to seafood and have no idea what to eat for lunch, the catch of the day is a great choice. Value for money and really tasty.
try the catch of the day - will not disappoint! great wine selection, fresh seafood, perfect atmosphere
Best coffee in Iceland is in Hafnarfjörður! One bus from downtown Reykjavík!
Fantastic coffee and an lovely owner, who knows what he likes and knows a lot about coffee.
A double espresso in a large cup, i.e. a teacup, is a trip of the senses. Ask Pálmar to make you one if you're up for it.
Authentic local (read cheap) hot dog spot. Must visit in downtown Reykjavik.
A must when in Reykjavík. Get the regular with "everything" - crunchy onions, signature mustard, mayonnaise, and ketchup, I believe. Delicious! Midnight snack or otherwise any time. Only 420 Kr.
be careful eating here if you don't live in Iceland, it only takes one to generate lifelong cravings
Great authentic Icelandic food cooked to perfection! Ordered the sampler appetizer consisting of puffin, horse, whale, char. All were excellent and lamb shank for dinner, meat fell right off the bone.
Great pub with surprisingly good food. Make sure to check out the "secret" downstairs for some fun singing performances.
Everything I tasted was superb. I'm going there again soon!
A simple menu with quality, authentic food
If you’re looking for authentic Japanese ramen this is not it... Vegan options available
First ramen shop in Iceland. So good! 2 vegan ramen options and vegan gyoza available. Small space with ~8 high stool seats. Was the perfect meal on a windy rainy Reykjavik night.
Authentic restaurant/bar. Few choices on the menu but everything is well done. Feel that locals like to come here
Simply the best burger in town. A small local bar with a cozy atmosphere, good steaks and great hamburgers. Very reasonably priced - a real find.
Check out the Forget-me-not bluecheese burger
The burgers are sleazy and delicious! After a hard working day or a difficult night out on the town, then this is the place to go. The burgers are one of the best in Reykjavik. Read more.
Offer of the century - a sure bet
just ask for the offer of the century
What a great dining experience! Delicious three course menu: fish soup, roasted lamb, licorice cheesecake (pic). Friendly services we come back!
Very good food and cocktails as well. A bit pricey but worth the money. Service is excellent
Get the Cheesecake! Wow!
Great simple burgers, get the Bernaise sauce with the fries and you are golden.
Good food specially the French fries
Tiboð Aldarinnar!!
Probably the best naan bread I've ever had:D And try the paneer, delicious!
Best Indian restaurant in Scandinavia.
This place just blew me away again. First impressions can sometimes be misleading. But this restaurant is truly superb.
Newcomer to the craft brew scene. 12 on tap.
My opinion: Best craft bar in town !!!
Good selection of local and imported craft beers, both on draft and by the bottle
Delicious food, beautifully presented. Wonderful service. The cod croquette starter was completely delicious, as were the main courses. Highly recommended
You say "local cuisine", I say stay away. Except for this place. Modern takes on old school Icelandic favorites.
This is the most gorgeous food that I had in #Iceland. Traditional Icelandic recipes cooked by a New York chef it was impeccable. The Virginian bartender made an amazing lemonade and Birch snaps.
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
