Bryggjuhúsið

About Bryggjuhúsið

Bryggjuhúsið covers more ground than most Reykjavík restaurants: its own categories span wine bar, pizzeria and fine dining, with Icelandic local cuisine — fish and lamb among the listed specialities — plus fondue and raclette on the books. It describes itself as cosy, charming and romantic in one breath and trendy in the next, with outside seating and a private room for groups, all in downtown Reykjavík.

Because doors stay shut until mid-afternoon, this reads as a dinner destination rather than a lunch one — a downtown choice for couples or groups closing out a day of city sights. The kitchen's wide range gives an undecided table plenty of room, and later weekend hours leave space for a lingering Friday or Saturday meal.
