Þrír Frakkar ICELANDIC, SEAFOOD
( MAP GOOGLE MAP ; 552 3939; www.3frakkar.com ;Baldursgata 14;mains Ikr3200-5300;
11.30am-2.30pm & 6-11.30pm Mon-Fri, 6-11.30pm Sat & Sun)
Owner-chef Úlfar Eysteinsson has built up a consistently excellent reputation at this snug
little restaurant - apparently a favourite of Jamie Oliver. Specialities range throughout the
aquatic world from salt cod and halibut to plokkfiskur (fish stew) with black bread. Non-
fish items run toward guillemot, horse, lamb and whale.
Kolabrautin ITALIAN
( MAP GOOGLE MAP ; 519 9700; www.kolabrautin.is ; Austurbakki 2, Harpa;mains Ikr3400-5900;
11.30am-2pm & 5.30-10.30pm Mon-Fri, 5.30-10.30pm Sat & Sun)
Creatively using Icelandic ingredients with Mediterranean techniques high up on the top of
the Harpa concert hall. You can start with a splashy cocktail before digging in to spaghetti
with local langoustine, or wood-roasted catfish with parmesan and chilli.
Vegamót INTERNATIONAL
( MAP GOOGLE MAP ; 511 3040; www.vegamot.is ; Vegamótastígur 4;mains Ikr2400-4000;
11.30am-1am Mon-Thu, 11am-4am Fri & Sat, noon-1am Sun; )
A long-running bistro-bar-club, with a name that means 'crossroads,' this is still a trendy
place to eat, drink, see and be seen at night (it's favoured by families during the day). The
'global' menu ranges all over: from Mexican salad to Louisiana chicken. Weekend
brunches (Ikr2000 to Ikr2500) are a hit, too.
Ban Thai ASIAN
( MAP GOOGLE MAP ; www.banthai.is ;Laugavegur 130;mains Ikr1890-2500; 6-10pm Sun-Thu,
to 11.30pm Fri & Sat)
Ban Thai is by far the local favourite for Thai food. Find it just east of the Hlemmur bus
terminal; it also has a cheaper takeaway outlet, Yummi Yummi ( MAP GOOGLE MAP ;
588 2121;Hverfisgata 123;mains Ikr1190; 11.30am-9pm Mon-Fri, 5-9pm Sat & Sun) across the
street.
