Laugardalur and east, Reykjavik

The greener east side beyond the centre around Sudurlandsbraut, where larger, cheaper Asian kitchens and family restaurants serve residents away from the tourist core.

Laugardalur and the east side spread green beyond Reykjavik's centre, along Sudurlandsbraut. The kitchens here are larger, cheaper and aimed at residents: Asian rooms and family restaurants without the downtown premium. Locals eat east; the prices explain why.

The full Laugardalur and east food guide is still being researched. In the meantime, see the Reykjavik food guide for the places we cover, or the neighbourhood index.
