Grapevine’s Best Of 2017: Best Brunch

Vox
Hilton Nordica, Suðurlandsbraut 2
If the Hilton tag has you scared about prices, fret not. Vox has been consistently drawing the hordes in with their value-for-money brunch since it began. So much so, it’s even a popular wedding gift in Iceland. Vox offers a large selection of salads, cold cuts, desserts and a live counter with specials spanning global cuisine. It’s perfect for travellers wanting to dine in style, families with children (half price for kids under twelve, and under-fives are free!), and for celebrating a birthday.

Runners Up

Coocoo’s Nest
Grandagarður 23
This family-run restaurant in Grandi offers an Italian style aperitivo hour, and their decadent brunch menu starts on Friday and runs through the weekend. It’s a comfortable, homely joint, and the walk along the old harbour will help with your hangover.

Slippbarinn
Mýrargata 2
Grandi has several good things going for it. The Marina hotel sits pretty by the harbour, and the brunch at Slippbarinn is worth making the pilgrimage on a weekend. Bubbly and chic, Slippbarinn’s spread is large enough without being overwhelming.
