Iceland's oldest café and it has been kept exactly like it was! Amazing. I enjoy the mokka cake, their waffles, the ham and cheese sandwich with asparagus and they have very good real hot chocolate.

Possibly my favorite place in the whole city. It's wonderful to have a cup of tea with view of the harbor while listening to old fishermen on their lunch break debating politics. Very old Reykjavík.

Drinks & Nightlife
A bar, breakfast place (a bit sleazy) and a café. I would go there late night on saturdays or fridays to dance to some hip hop. Not recommended for non-hiphop-lovers.
