Apotek Kitchen & Bar

Set in the former apothecary from which it takes its name, this buzzy new restaurant right in the heart of Reykjavik pays homage to its history with a cocktail menu divided into categories: painkillers, stimulants, tranquilizers and placebos. The menu features a mix of Nordic cuisine with specialties like small plates of mink whale and ling as well as international standards like dry-aged rib eye and salmon. During the day, there is a wonderful pastry counter in the front of the restaurant serving French pastries including macaroons and eclairs.
