The local grocery and delicatessen store. Quite small and crowded which is a big part of it's charm. If you're shopping for good meat or fish this is your place.

Popular with the locals, especially during weekends. They don't take reservations so be prepared to wait for a table. The moules frites and confit de canard are excellent.

Our favorite restaurant in Reykjavik, both for the food and the atmo. The menu consists of 9 dishes (3 starters, 3 mains, 3 deserts) and it changes weekly.
Fine dining so expect to pay $50 - $70 for a main.
