Reykjavik Street Food

  Amazing food, great price and incredibly friendly staff! Very pleased to find this place on our first night in Reykjavik!

  My friends and I stopped here for a quick bite because the menu looked interesting and we were all sooo pleased!!! I am a vegetarian and I got the vegetable... read more soup which was extremely flavorful and delicious!!! My friends were also very pleased with what they got (the meat stew and lobster soup), so much so that they wanted to go back the next day!! Additionally, the customer service is phenomenal, they make you feel at home!! This place is definitely a must-go!!

  Awful experience. There are two Icelandic Street Food places: One at the very end of Laugavegur and then to the left - This place was basically a bakery, and had... read more two soups available.

But oh my god, the one in the center of Laugavegur was shocking!
The door was open, so we went in. We had to wait 3-4 minutes before someone appeared.
This Asian man seemed like he had woken up from the longest powernap ever - or he was high.

We asked ‘Do you have a menu? What is the best Icelandic food here?’

He replied, in the body language and enthusiasm of a zombie: We have Mexican burrito. No Icelandic type of food here.

I replied: But... This is Icelandic Street Food, not Mexican Street Food?
To which we got no proper reply, he just shouted something towards the kitchen.

Awful experience, no customer service and we left with a bad feeling. Whoever worked this day should lose his job, no doubt.

  Awesome food and staff. Excellent value for money. All meals are tasty and fresh. I only can recommend it. Staff is super friendly

  We stumbled into this place during a blizzard like ice-ball storm with 50 mph winds. It was so warm and toasty. The food was GREAT and cheaper than every other... read more place we went. The staff was the friendliest ever. They have jars of free chocolate and they give you a chocolate wafer treat if you finish your meal! They give refills on their soup and seem genuinely disappointed if you don't ask for a soup refill!! Definitely a great place to stop for a meal on a budget!

  Very simple menu, but I am certain everything is delicious. My husband and I's soups were both amazing and served quickly! And the included chocolate bars at the end was... read more the perfect little treat to a flavorful meal! My favorite place I ate at in our 5 day trip to Iceland!

  Great soups and really friendly service. Give high prices n Reykjavik, this is a good stop. my wife had the seafood soup and I had the meat soup. Full of... read more meat.

  I was walking past and stopped to read the menu. A lovely gentleman came out and gave me a wafer chocolate bar ‘to go with my coffee’ that I was... read more carrying. I decided then and there to eat an early dinner there. I was warmly welcomed, given the option to sit upstairs or down. I chose downstairs near the gorgeous heater set up in the middle of the floor. I had fish & chips which was really lovely, perfectly cooked, and a very generous serving. A wide range of condiments was also offered. The food was also reasonably priced. Would recommend to anyone wanting a no-fuss meal that is filling and delicious, and wanting a more casual dining experience rather than the more high end places.

  The fish & chips here were so fresh and delicious! They had a few different sauces for the fish and made a good "quick" lunch stop. They were so welcoming... read more and friendly.

  I spent a week in Iceland including many days in Reykjavik just one street down from this restaurant. The days were short and weather cold, but this place was so... read more warm. The staff were extremely friendly, talkative, and appeared happy to be there. The food was amazing, especially for the price. I can't say 1590 ISK for soup is cheap, but it's a good value considering the cost of other restaurants. I had the lobster soup my first visit. I wanted it to as take away, and they gave me a candy wafer if I promised to finish the soup first. I did and couldn't wait to try something else on a return trip! I ended up eating there 3 times including an Asian-inspired chicken noodle soup and delicate, delicious fish and chips. The chips were nothing to write home about, but the fish was tasty with a breading that was crisp yet not greasy. The chicken noodle soup easily could have fed 2 people. I would absolutely recommend coming here. Don't expect décor to rave over, and you probably won't find a seat many times during the day. However, come here wanting delicious food, and you'll be happy.
