Best Of Reykjavík 2018: Best Brunch

Café Paris

Austurstræti 14

Cafe Paris’s European style brunch with a few American classics thrown in, make for a must-do weekend activity. Near perfect eggs florentine, top-notch fried chicken with waffles, and a hulking stack of pancakes with a generous jug of maple syrup, some bubbly to pair it with, and the quintessential brunch experience is complete. We advise you to take your time at brunch here, why not round things off with steak and eggs? We for one can barely wait for the summer to sit outdoors on the café patio and sip our Bellinis.
