Top Rated Restaurants & Cafes in Reykjavík
Uppsalir
Uppsalir makes for the perfect retreat when you want to escape the harsh Icelandic chill. A warm fire glowing among the wooden interiors is the picture you'll take home after a visit to this upscale yet cozy cafe. Cakes, coffee refreshments, cheese and the like are the usual treats on offer. A chic bar can help you with something stronger if coffee alone can't warm you up! Uppsalir is also a popular venue for receptions.
Jómfrúin
This is a traditional Danish restaurant in Reykjavík, specialising in Smorrebrod, which has enjoyed an unbroken tradition as Danish culinary culture for the past 100 years. The Danish are unacknowledged masters of food, and the series of sumptuous open sandwiches offered here combines taste and elegance to perfection. Situated centrally, in one of the modern buildings of Lækjargata, Jómfrúin (meaning the virgin or the young lady) is ideal for cosy lunches, as well as quiet dinners.
A. Hansen
A. Hansen is one of Hafnarfjörður's oldest and most prestigious restaurants, so prestigious in fact, that the place runs white stretch limousines, carefully labelled A. Hansen, for special occasions and services. Situated centrally in Hafnafjörður, in one of the oldest houses of the town, built in 1880, patrons can enjoy their meals in authentic late nineteenth-century decor, in an atmosphere that takes them to the past. The menu offers an exclusive 'plank steak', and seafood, as well as traditional Icelandic cuisine.
Fjörugarðurinn - The Viking Restaurant
An enduring tourist attraction, Fjörukráin is actually two restaurants in one. One is Fjaran, a seafood restaurant with a varied menu that doubles as a favourite Hafnarfjörður bar at nights. Next to Fjaran is Fjörugarðurinn, and for tourist groups they offer Viking banquets, complete with traditional Icelandic food, served in the Viking manner on large wooden trays. The décor is in a mock Viking style, all the way from the crossbeams on the ceiling to weapons and shields on the walls. In addition to this the staff sings, providing live music too. With a view over Hafnarfjörður harbour this is an ever-popular experience for visitors to Iceland.
3 Frakkar
3 Frakkar is a small and cozy restaurant, which specializes in traditional Icelandic cuisine, most notably fish and whale meat. Seating a maximum of 44 diners, 3 Frakkar provides excellent service in an intimate setting. Start with an appetizer of Scallops in Cream or Mild Cream Fish Soup. Move on to an entrée like Whale Pepper Steak, Salted Cod, Grilled Catfish, or Fried Fish-Chins. Don't forget to save room for a dessert of Warm Chocolate Cake or Vanilla Ice Cream. Renowned chef Ulfar Eysteinsson uses classic Icelandic ingredients to add a local style to the seafood dishes. Check website for more information including today's specials. It is unfortunate that whale is on 3 Frakkar's menu. This endangered species has enough problems without it serving as an entrée for fine diners who may have more money than sense.
Tapas Barrin
Throw all caution to the winds and give in to the sheer pleasure of good food and great company. Although this restaurant and bar is open for dinner only, it can be booked in advance for lunch, for 15 people or more. The Tapas Barinn follows the Spanish tradition of making dining a ride to indulge your senses. It's all about letting go. The food here is delicious and served in large portions to satisfy every tummy. Try the Saltfish Catallana Style or the Grilled Marinated Fillet of Lamb and Lobster Tails with Baked Potato, Fresh Salad and Alioli. End the evening with coffee or sumptuous dessert.
