Íslenski Barinn

About Íslenski Barinn

Icelandic and Scandinavian cooking is the focus at Íslenski Barinn — 'the Icelandic bar' — in downtown Reykjavík. The menu runs from fish and meat dishes to burgers, with a drinks list built on beers and wine, so it covers both a proper local dinner and a more casual one.

A menu that runs from fish and lamb to a familiar burger keeps a mixed group content — the local-food enthusiast and the cautious eater seated together. Central, and serving right through from midday to evening, it stands up as an early-trip taste of Icelandic cooking, a short walk from most downtown rooms.
