Food Scene

Only a 7-minute walk from our home, this coffee shop is a favourite with both the locals and tourists. They serve great snacks and lunches as well, and their beer is relatively inexpensive at Happy Hour.

Harpa is the crown jewel of Icelandic symphony and theatre. It is worth the visit just to enjoy the world-class archtecture.

Essentials

Pétursbúð is one of the original corner stores of Reykjavik. It has been featured in several movies, and has an old-style, comfortable feel to it. It also has a surprisingly large selection of food and supplies.
