Hlemmur Food Hall

For decades Hlemmur was Reykjavík’s dingiest, dankest bus station. But after a complete overhaul, it has been reborn as a chic food hall loved by locals and visitors alike. Their motto? All kinds of food for all kinds of people – New Nordic cuisine and another fine dining, vegan options, Reykjavík’s trendy new bakery Brauð & Co., burritos, báhn mi and pho, ice cream, smørrebrød and much more. Diners sit at communal long tables, and the only thing better than the myriad aromas coming from the various kitchens is the snippets of conversations from the other diners.

Location: Laugavegur 107, only about 300 meters from the hotel.
