One of Iceland’s oldest coffee houses. It’s really great to have a coffee there in the morning. They also have a full menu. It’s probably the cheapest menu in town. It is a hangout for regulars.

For a good steak I highly recommend Grillmarket (they also have the best burger in town, but only for lunch). They also make an excellent salmon. Make a reservation for this one.

Iceland can be very expensive, so if you’re on a budget, I suggest you take a trip to the supermarket to get practical items for the kitchen. The cheapest place is right around the corner
