• SÚMAC Grill + Drinks101 ReykjavikThe Michelin Guide-listed sister to ÓX, trading tasting menus for lively Middle Eastern and Mediterranean grilling — one of the most reliably good restaurants in Reykjavik.
• Matur og DrykkurGrandiSet in the Saga Museum building, it revives old Icelandic recipes as proper modern cooking — the place to eat heritage dishes without the tourist gimmicks.
• Kopar RestaurantOld HarbourA Michelin Guide seafood spot right on the Old Harbour, best known for its langoustine — the sort of harbourside dining people picture when they picture Reykjavik.
• MOSS RestaurantBlue Lagoon, GrindavíkThe Michelin Guide fine-dining room at the Blue Lagoon Retreat, worth the drive out of town for modern Icelandic cooking with a view over the lava field.
• Grillmarkaðurinn101 ReykjavikReykjavik's iconic upscale grill, cooking Icelandic ingredients over live fire — a downtown mainstay for both locals and visitors.

• Bæjarins Beztu Pylsur101 ReykjavikThe hot-dog stand going since 1937, voted the best in Europe and a Bill Clinton favourite — order one 'with everything' like the locals do.
• Sægreifinn (Sea Baron)Old HarbourA tiny harbour shack that built its name on one thing: a bowl of lobster soup so good people queue in the cold for it.
• Brauð & Co101 ReykjavikThe colourful sourdough bakery whose cinnamon buns are a Reykjavik institution — join the morning queue and eat one warm on the walk up Skólavörðustígur.
• Reykjavík Roasters101 ReykjavikThe city's leading specialty coffee roaster, with its flagship on Kárastígur — where to start the day before you tackle the rest of the list.
