Cafe Flora

Grab a seat in the outdoor garden at Cafe Flora, a quaint cafe in Reykjavik that offers classic coffees, cheese plates, sandwiches, and soups at a modest price.

Matur og Drykkur

Matur og Drykkur translates to “food and drink” in Icelandic, and here you’ll find traditional Icelandic dishes in abundance. The restaurant is housed in a restored salt fishery and is open Wednesday through Sunday. Reservations are recommended.

Fish Company

Don’t let the unassuming name of Fish Company fool you⁠—Reykavik knows how to do upscale dining. If you’ve got an adventurous palate, try the three-course menu, or stick with the a-la-carte options of local fried cod dishes, stews, and more.

Frú Lauga

This Reykjavik farmer’s market is an area institution where many residents purchase their local yogurts, fish, meats, and vegetables for the week. There’s even an olive oil bar and a kombucha bar at this trendy market.
