Stuff You Should Know

The not-really-a-restaurant comes with a side of honesty - they're more "bar snacks and aspirations" than "full culinary commitment." The kitchenette's unstocked status suggests they know their neighborhood's dining credentials better than to compete. Accessibility scores match the building's historic charm (5/10) - think of steps as mandatory Nordic cardio.

Food and drink

Food + Drink On-site surprises

Bar food with ambition, location with purpose

The on-site bar aspires to nourish with a selection of snacks that suggest they've wisely chosen to be a supporting actor in Reykjavik's culinary scene. With a perfect 10/10 for nearby dining options and everything one minute away, they've mastered the art of strategic underachievement. The unstocked half-fridge in your kitchenette stands ready for leftovers from what might be the world's most accessible restaurant scene - assuming you can choose between the approximately 47 options within a 60-second walk.
