Svarta Kaffid

A tiny, family owned soup restaurant in the heart of Reykjavik. We are proud to be the first and the original "soup in bread" restaurant in Iceland. We've been serving soups in bread for over 20 years amd we love it. Please note: We do not take Reservations, ever - but swing by and we will do our best to fit you in with smiles on our faces! :)

We didn't know anything about this place, but decided to give it a try because we were cold and tired from walking. We hoped that they had soup, but didn't realize that it's a SOUP restaurant. There's no menu... the waiter shows up and says "today, we have soup X and soup Y... what would you like?"
They only had two soups: a meat soup and a vegetarian... luckily, because my wife is vegetarian. I got the meat soup.
Both soups come in a bread bowl. This makes for a pretty heavy meal, but the bread is SO GOOD. The meat soup was slightly thick, had nice onions and carrots, but was pretty light on the meat. This didn't bother me, but for $25/ea...well, that's why I'm only giving 4 stars. They also have beer. I just drank the tap water (which is better than any bottle water you can buy).
We really like the decor of the place... it reminds me of a Portland Maine fish house... old, small, rustic, dark, warm and cozy. Perfect for hot soup. The staff are young, friendly and professional. It's on the 2nd floor, overlooking the main street. It only seats about 30, and there's no waiting area, so it's in or out if you don't have Reservations (not sure if they take reservations). This time of year, at 6:00PM we had no problem getting seated.

Sandholt

Reviewed By Joyceinc - Liverpool, United Kingdom

We had 2 lattes one of which was cold and had to be returned for a hotter one, a scone with cream and a Danish pastry £22. Service while quick was courteous and not over friendly especially when I had to return my coffee. That said it sold lots of gorgeous looking read cakes and sandwiches. It was also very popular with locals and not just tourists so thats always a good sign.

Ostabudin

Food connoisseurs and other gastronomes have ever since the year 2000 slipped into our basement during lunch hour to feast on various delicacies. But of course everyone knows that because ever since the restaurant opened for business it has been the least kept secret in the area. Ostabuðin has truly been an oasis on Skolavorðustigur because we have tried our best to offer a wide varaity of fresh and curious products which have tickled our patrons taste buds and in turn trickled salivating reflexes in the city center. Even though we have taken some pride in the queue that has formed outside our entrance every single day during lunch break for the past 15 years we have finally expanded our premises. Thus we can now welcome our patrons from dawn til dusk and offer them a variety of fish and meat dishes which we have refined with passion. Of course there is also a lot of cheese on the menu and now we can also serve wine with our fare. Our daily specials always include both a fish dish and a soup during lunch hour on weekdays. Do not hesitate to ask what is on offer today. Also, our seafood soup never disappoints. Our guests might have to share tables during the lunch hour rush but who knows – maybe you will make new friends. Bon appetit, Joi.

By far our favorite bakery in Iceland! Everything is yummy and they have a great selection! It's a little off the tourist track which is good in my book! We went back several times...the last time to buy snacks for the plane ride home.

A quaint restaurant offering fabulous food. We wanted the 3 course set menu but tried to substitute the starter for one of us. We had previously done this in other restaurants and they were happy to oblige, here however it was a definite NO! We went for different options in the end and had fantastic meals. The presentation and flavours of all of the courses was first class.

Now, visitors to AALTO Bistro in the Nordic House can sample for themselves the work of this creative chef, in the form of delicious and delightful fresh lunch specials and during the day. When it comes to afternoon coffee, linger awhile, over delicious homemade cakes, all made with the best ingredients available at the time, Over the weekends, a delicately constructed dinner menu. Naturally, the fruits of the sea feature prominently, although meat and vegan options are also on offer. In true New Nordic style, the food at AALTO Bistro draws on fresh, local, healthy produce, ingredients which change with the seasons. Head chef Sveinn stirs in a dash of his trademark magic to create the prettiest of plates. Healthy food for a happy heart!

The Nordic House is one of the finest buildings in Reykjavik, a great homage to the famous Finnish architect Alvar Aalto. The small restaurant has a fine view of the city over a busy duck pond. There were 4 of us and all had excellent food. The crab cakes and the seafood soup were tasty and so was the fish pan, catfish and cod that followed, all perfectly cooked. This is surely some of the best food to be had in Reykjavik. The chef, Sveinn Kjartansson was charming. Ask for a window table.

We stopped as we walked by because they smelled so good...and they were delicious! We went with their recommendation of caramel and cinnamon and sugar for toppings and it was excellent. We got 6, but wanted about a dozen more! Worth a stop for a quick warm treat...and they're open late (in downtown, 1am on the weekdays and about 5am on the weekends - all approximates). Definitely give them a try!
