Route 1

About Route 1

For a meal that does not need a reservation, Route 1 is a street-food spot in Reykjavík, outside the downtown core, serving lunch and dinner. Street food keeps things quick and informal, which suits days when your schedule in the capital keeps shifting.

On a capital-region day that keeps rearranging itself, a quick street-food stop away from the tourist crush is worth having marked down. Families and solo travellers alike can drop in between sights, and since the kitchen winds down in the early evening, treat it as a midday or early-dinner option rather than a late-night one.
