Grandi Matholl on Grandagardur is a harbourside Reykjavik food hall near Harpa, its stalls running from Korean and Nepalese to pizza and Icelandic plates.
Tip: Quieter than Hlemmur and good for groups who cannot agree on a cuisine. Right by the Old Harbour.
Posthus Food Hall on the corner of Austurstraeti was voted the Grapevine's best Reykjavik food hall in 2024, with sushi, Indian fusion and pizza stalls.
Tip: The most central of the food halls and the newest. Funky Bhangra's Indian-Nordic fusion is the standout stall.
The Grandi harbour strip on Grandagardur is Reykjavik's open-air food cluster, where Valdis ice cream and the fish-and-chips truck draw a steady crowd.
Tip: Walk the strip from Valdis to the fish truck to graze. Best on a rare sunny Reykjavik afternoon.
Kolaportid fills the old customs house on Tryggvagata each weekend, Reykjavik's flea market where food stalls sell fermented shark, dried fish and rye bread.
Tip: This is the easiest place to try hakarl fermented shark and harkfiskur dried fish. Weekends only, cash helps.
