Pósthús Mathöll

About Pósthús Mathöll

Pósthús Mathöll is a food hall in downtown Reykjavík — mathöll being the Icelandic word for exactly that — a charming, trendy space covering a wide sweep of options: burgers, sushi, Asian and European cooking, local cuisine, small plates and vegetarian and vegan choices, with a bar side spanning beer, wine and cocktails.

Mixed groups are where a food hall earns its keep: meat-eaters, vegetarians and vegans, and fussy travellers all order separately and still share one table, which keeps it low-stakes for a first evening in the capital or a regrouping lunch mid-sightseeing. Step-free throughout, it stays open to everyone, with barely a detour from a downtown base.
