About Finsen Matur & Vín

Finsen Matur & Vín is a bistro and brasserie in downtown Reykjavík cooking Icelandic and Scandinavian comfort food — fish, seafood and steak feature — with wine and beer to match. The name translates roughly as food and wine, which is an honest summary of the operation.

One quirk shapes the planning: the midweek schedule is uneven, with an early finish one day and a late start the next, so it pays to confirm which day before counting on it for dinner. Step-free access makes it manageable for anyone who would rather avoid stairs, and it reads as a dependable last-night dinner, the settled kind that closes out a trip before the flight home.
