Icelandic Street Food

One of the highest rated Reykjavik restaurants by TripAdvisor is Icelandic Street Food.


It's located on Laekjargata in the center of town. If you take any tours, it's near Stop #3.


Seafood Soup--ISK1390 or ISK 1890, if served in a bread bowl. This was quite rich and had plenty of shrimp and mussel.


Lamb Soup. This was also very tasty. Very different from the Lamb Soup at Restaurant Reykjavik. This didn't have tomatoes.

The owner is very gregarious and engages his customers. It's no wonder he gets such high ratings. It's also very good soup and reasonably priced, especially since you can have as much refill as you want. There is no liquor license, but the owner will write a note for you to get a free beer two doors down at his bar. He also had free coconut macaroons and lemon cake for dessert. When we were there, he had fermented shark for people to taste. It smelled like ammonia and I couldn't bear to put it in my mouth. I did watch others try it and gag.
