The Reykjavík Grapevine


Best Burger: “Freedom Burger,” KEX Hostel

The Best Burger award has often been a contentious one, with the office arguing back and forth between Vitabarinn and Hamborgarabúlla Tómasar, but this year we have a clear winner and it is KEX Hostel’s spicy “Freedom” burger. Consisting of high quality grass-fed free range beef, Ísbúi cheese, caramelised onion mayonnaise, veggies and fries on the side, it is absolutely, mouthwateringly overkill for a regular burger, with the only complaint imaginable being the slightly steep price of 2,490 ISK. We’ve heard enough local chefs complimenting the burger, though, to convince us to select it as the Best Burger in Reykjavík.
