Grapevine’s Best Of 2017: Best Family Meal

Hamborgarafabrikkan
Höfðatún 2, Kringlan 4-12 & Hótel Kea, 600 Akureyri
It may not always be the first place that springs to mind as being family-friendly, but The Hamburger Factory comes out ahead of the other contenders simply because of the thoughtfulness that goes beyond the children’s menu. There are plenty of distractions for young diners, and orders are taken earlier and the food served in time to keep young temperaments in line, making this a popular choice for those venturing out with the kids. And all this without compromising on service!

Runners Up

KEX Hostel
Skúlagata 28
Kex might not spring to mind as the average family-friendly diner, but this converted former biscuit factory has a lot going for it. While they don’t have a dedicated children’s menu, the small plates easily double up as kiddie snacks and the quirky decor keeps even the most distracted child occupied.

Laundromat
Austurstræti 9
Laundromat continues to enjoy its family-friendly reputation. The spacious play area downstairs keeps them little humans occupied, and if you’re a breastfeeding mama or daddy-on-duty, the view from the main dining space makes for some great people-watching.
