The Reykjavík Grapevine


Dining

Reykjavík’s dining scene has never been more vibrant. Breakfast might prove to be too early for Reykjavik, but get down to local bakeries like Deig or if you are feeling fancy to Tides, and see what a difference a spot of warm grub in the wee hours can do. Lunch offers abound and dinner is ripe for experimentation — be it sampling Pueblan tacos at La Poblana, rediscovering Mat Bar, experiencing Nordic fine-dining at Dill, or tucking into tapas inspired plates at weeks old Skreið or blistering pizzas at BakaBaka.

Whatever you fancy, dear gourmands, whatever your proclivities or budgets, our esteemed panel has done the hard work to bring you the best of the best of Reykjavík. Skál!
