Great Food July 2018

On a hiking tip in Iceland with my vegan grandnephew in July 2018, we ate twice in that place. Although a meat-eater, I absolutely loved their food and highly recommend it, for vegans or not.

Pros: Food quality, Atmosphere, Even their beer prices are OK (by Iceland standard

Cons: Can't remember if I had any

Noooooo!

This place was great, now... the one vegan option is awful. So sad! A full vegan menu has been replaced by 1 vegan option which is roasted veg with some thai basil mush, awful! So disappointing. The veg was cooked badly, uninspiring, very expensive and a tiny portion.

Cons: The change, Change, Change

Fun vegan joint with good food

Cute little vegan restaurant combined with record store. Easy to walk if staying downtown Reykjavik. Good selection of food even though pretty basic menu. I got the teriyaki bowl with some local twists and it was tasty. Service was quick. Expensive given the menu and atmosphere, but all of Reykjavik is expensive.

Pros: Good food, Quick service

Lovely ambience, amazing food, great music, fab staff

This was the closest vegan restaurant to where we were staying in Reykjavík. We couldn’t park nearby, but parked in a multi-storey car park, it was well worth the snowy 6 minutes walk down the road. It was 300kr for the parking, equivalent of £1.92.

I ordered a decaf, almond and cinnamon latte which was yummy. I ordered the lasagne which was absolutely delicious - hands down the best vegan lasagne I’ve ever had. It came with garlic bread, pesto and salad. My husband got the portobello burger which came with crisps - he expected ‘chips’ in the English sense of the word. For desserts we shared the ‘fudge with cranberry sauce’ which tasted like peanut butter and jam with caramel on a base, it was really good, and the muesli bar topped with chocolate, also really good! I took home a couple of desserts - the cookie which has chocolate chips, peanut butter and chips (crisps!) this was recommended so I’m looking forward to trying that, and the caramel mousse too.

All in the cost came to £55.50. For Iceland prices I don’t think that’s too bad.

I would definitely recommend it and come here again.

Unexpected gem!

Stumbled on this cafe while walking past it, saw the ‘vegan’ sign and we entered immediately! Loved the vibe and energy here. Very youthful and informal. Food was good. A DJ was spinning on the sidewalk right outside, could see him work through the window. After finishing our meal, there was an impromptu dance party (thanks to the DJ) in the street as we were leaving. We hung out for a bit and enjoyed the ambiance with everyone else.
Loved this place.😄

Pros: Good food , Good atmosphere

Wish this was in the US!

We went here on a wintry Christmas night while visiting Iceland and it was pure heaven. The cocktails to the appetizers to the entrees to the dessert were absolute perfection! Not to mention the acoustic live music just sent it over the top. We regularly talk about our wonderful visit here.

Pros: Great ambiance, Delicious Food, Yummy cocktails

Very Cool Cafe/Vinyl Shop

Definitely a must-visit for vegans; great cafe and Iceland's first (and only?) all-vegan eatery. Popped in for lunch and had an amazing Black Bean & Quinoa Burger and an excellent soy latte. Friendly service and very spacious (and warm!) inside.

N.B. Visited in November 2017.

Pros: Fully vegan, Great food and coffee, Friendly service and nice place to relax

Great vibe, tasty food

We arrived here at 10 on a Saturday morning, but it was closed (opens at 11 on a Saturday and Sunday). After a little mooch about we came back and were very glad we waited.

I had the cashew cheese and avocado on sourdough toast and my partner had the cheese tomato and cucumber on toast. It comes deconstructed, but it made you eat it slower so you are more full. The cashew cheese was homemade and taste AMAZING! My partner loved his meal but personally I would’ve been disappointed with it because it was just cheese tomato and cucumber on a plate.

It was a very nice vibe and we are thinking g of going back for dinner!

Pros: All vegan, Good vibe, Vinyl music

Very good

I really liked the atmosphere, the music was good and the food as well. If you don’t like mushrooms don’t order the portobello burger, the patty is a big mushroom. The peanut butter cups are great! (I’m giving four stars because it was very good but not extraordinary.)

Pros: 100% vegan, yummy, nice atmosphere

Cons: expensive (hey it’s Iceland)

Amazing!

Had a great meal here. They were flexible with modifications and the food ended up being really quite good. There was some weird experimental music playing however but the food was worth the weird noises. Really cute place too, definitely would recommend.

Fabulous Place, Fabulous Food

Both my omni hubby and I really enjoyed this place when we were in Reykjavik. It's a great little cafe with a very friendly staff and ridiculously good food. My sandwich was one of the tastiest I've ever had. I highly recommend a visit here if you're in the city.

A must-visit for vegans

Warm and cosy, with an all-vegan menu. Seems like a fairly local place where everyone knows each other but it’s not intimidating. Great coffee and amazing food. It’s fairly pricey but that’s expected in Reykjavik 😊 Some of the best food I’ve had

Pros: Everything on the menu is great, Everything is vegan, Warm and cosy

Cons: Fairly pricey, but expected here
