About Norðurbakkinn. Book & café.
Hafnarfjörður, the harbour town a short drive south of Reykjavík, is where you'll find Norðurbakkinn — 'Book & café', as its full name puts it. Books are part of the concept, then, and the food side keeps to daytime eating: breakfast, brunch and lunch rather than evening dining.
A slow morning suits Hafnarfjörður, and a café that doubles as a bookshop is well matched to one — somewhere to linger over brunch with something to read rather than rush on. Daytime-only opening rules it out for dinner, so pencil it in as the morning or lunch anchor of a day spent poking around the harbour town and the coast south of Reykjavík.
