Mat Bar
This corner pub with black-and-white-tile floors and a marble bar sided by leather stools seems to be every local’s favorite eatery. Mat Bar has one of Reykjavík’s most creative menus, serving dishes like rabbit-filled dumplings and reindeer steak with an arctic berry glaze—but it's all tied closely to the seasons, so nothing stays on the menu too long. Plates are small, so order two to three per person.
