1. Reykjavik Fish

If you’re looking for some comfort food, look no further. Easy to find in the old harbour area, Reykjavik Fish offers certainly the best assortment of fresh seafood coming in daily.

It is set in a very relaxed atmosphere where you order and pay at the counter, grab a table and wait to be served. In addition, the menu changes daily depending on the catch of the day. The batter is always light and crispy, and they have the best seafood soup you can find.

The hamburger factory is a great place for burgers lovers. They offer a wide selection of delicious and creative burgers, all square shaped, with vegan options. And most importantly, made from 100% fresh high quality Icelandic ingredients. The kids have their own menu to choose from.

The restaurant is located near Hofdi House. Place where the US President Reagan and Russian Leader Gorbachev met in 1981 to start negotiating the end to the Cold War.

3. Sægreifinn

If you’re walking around the Old Harbour, make sure to stop in this very kid-friendly restaurant. Not only their traditional seafood dishes are delicious (the lobster soup is a must!) but they provide a baby corner for your little ones.

They can play in before and after your meal whilst you enjoy grown-ups conversations. One of the best family restaurants in Reykjavik.

Address: Geirsgata 8, 101 Reykjavík, Iceland

4. Valdis

That is to say, one of Reykjavik’s most beloved ice cream parlour. Valdis has an impressive selection of flavours and all the ice creams are made daily.

The kids might go for the more traditional options like chocolate or peanut butter whilst you might want to experience bolder ones like salted liquorice or Christmas Cake. Their sorbets selection are just as varied and delicious.

5. Bæjarins Beztu Pylsur

And the winning dish is ??? Hot Dogs!!!!
Situated near the harbour, Bæjarins Beztu Pyslur is an institution that has been open since 1937. The name of the food truck basically means “best in town” and oh boy it is delicious. The hot dogs properly taste of meat as the sausage is mostly made from Icelandic lamb, along with a bit of pork and beef. Be prepared to queue, maybe even twice as you or your little one might want another!

Address: Tryggvagata 1, 101 Reykjavík, Iceland
