LYST
Coffee shop
👍👍 Nice little cafe nestled in the botanical gardens. The decor is really nice with plants decorating the edge as well. I tried the avocado toast and it was delicious, I little too salted at some points but I liked it. They have coffee and baked goods as well that I didn’t have a chance to try.

Eyja
Restaurant
👍👍 Fantastic dinner experience with the wonderful folks at Eyja. Solo diner. I was looking for something different and the Eyja wine list peaked my interest. They have a good selection and excellent menu to pair well with their wines. I chose the mussel stew (I am calling it stew, but not su...

Highly recommended !

Centrum Kitchen & Bar
Restaurant
👍👍 Really AMAZING food (I recommend the lamb, lobster pasta and lava cake). It might be fully booked so call them for a table, even in a few minutes. They’re really busy so you might wait a bit but if you’re not in a huge hurry and you want to enjoy exceptional food - go here :)

Götubarinn
Bar
😠 This is where the local 18 year old (I swear there were 12yos in there) farm boys go to flirt with each other. Unless you can speak icelantic, have a justin beiner haircut, and are no older than 18, this is not a cool or welcoming place to be. They'll also charge you more than the locals.

Ölstofa Akureyrar - Local Beer
Pub
👍👍 The thing I like the best is their tap beers but especially that they have some of the Eldgós Flamingo cocktail by Viking on tap, and it is discounted during happy hour so if you're a tourist looking for some affordable drinks, ask for that. They also have a really neat set-up upstairs with footbal...

Einstök Brewer's Lounge
Bar
👍👍 Located on the upper level of the Ölstofa Akureyrar bar, this cozy lounge has enough room for a few small groups or a couple of big ones.
Downstairs at the Ölstofa bar, you can order an Einstök sampler of four beers: the white ale, pale ale, porter, and your choice of one of their seasonal beers. N...
