Open - from 18h00 to 22h30

Located in the old town, this small, traditional restaurant - engagingly named "Les Trois Français" - prides itself on its specialty of thinly sliced whale steak served with a succulent sauce. The menu also features many local dishes and fresh fish dishes that are sure to please... The pan-seared halibut fillet, served with lobster, is a real treat! The staff are also a real "delight", very pleasant and some even speak French, which is always good to know. Mind you, the budget is still quite substantial!

3.5/5
2 reviews

At Tapas Barinn, you can sample over 70 tapas, salted fish, paella, lobster, puffins and much more. Lamb with licorice sauce and local dates called "beikonvafinn" (everyone has to try them at least once), not to mention the succulent lobster tails cooked in garlic! You can also choose from a selection of main courses. Our tip: for an authentic Hispanic feel, you must try their famous sangria with lots of fruit (fruit from their secret recipe!)

KRUA THAI

World cuisine restaurant

Why not eat Thai food in Iceland? As incongruous as the idea may be, the Krua Thai restaurant has been pleasing locals and tourists alike for years. This small Thai restaurant is located not far from the harbour and right next to the bus station. Seen from the outside, it doesn't look like much, and yet! The portions are copious, to be eaten on the spot or to be taken away and the prices are very soft. As friendly as flexible, the service is unanimous as well as the quality-price ratio of the dishes as good as generous. A delight for the taste buds!

VITABAR

World cuisine restaurant

This is a small café in a typical Reykjavík neighbourhood, ideal for a break with friends in a friendly atmosphere. A few tables, a simple counter, and a clientele that comes in at all hours to have a drink or to taste what makes the reputation of the place: the delicious homemade hamburgers. We strongly recommend the blue cheese burger. When you taste one of the varieties offered, you understand why the Mac Do in the city centre had to close down! The quality-price ratio is excellent, with reasonable prices for Iceland.
