The place is situated in Kringlan shopping mall, you can dine there or take away. The products used here are also available in many grocery stores under the brand JÖMM and the company offers catering/party service.

Vegan options

Although most restaurants have begun to offer some vegan options, these are some of our favourites!

Matarkjallarinn - The food cellar

This hidden gem sits in a cozy cellar in the heart of Reykjavík. With live piano playing most nights and excellent food choices they always have good, well thought out vegan options in a la carte and set menus.

Kopar

With a view of the Reykjavík pier, this predominantly seafood restaurant has started whipping up the yummiest vegan courses for lunch, brunch and dinner.

Yuzu

A burger joint with Japanese influences set in a spacious and welcoming space downtown. All the burgers can be made vegan with either a vegan “meat” patty or portobello mushrooms, oh and the fries are to die for!

Flóra Garden Bistro

Set in the beautiful Botanical gardens, the cafe/bistro is open in the spring and summer only. They have a range of vegan and vegetarian options from food to coffee.

Sumac

The place for a special occasion! Sumac serves smaller plates to share with middle eastern and west african influences. There is always an array of vegan options in the ever changing seasonal menu.

Ramen Momo

Serving fresh and soul warming ramen for lunch and dinner. The eatery has four seats only but also offers takeaway (to enhance sustainability they even offer a discount if you bring your own container)! They have two delicious types of vegan ramen along with some side dishes.

Matur og Drykkur

The restaurant is set in the Saga Museum building. The aim is to create exceptional dining experiences using traditional icelandic recipes. The vegan options also nod to icelandic cuisine using the freshest ingredients available at any given time.  

Héðinn Kitchen and Bar

This high end restaurant is perfect for a special occasion. Offering local produce fine dining in a beautifully decorated dining room. They offer an all vegan set menu as well as a la carte options.

Café’s

In general cafe’s offer vegan options for food and a selection of plant milks for coffee drinks. There are two main chains Kaffitár and Te&Kaffi, both offer a variety of good vegan food and sweets. Here are some of our other favourites:

Kattakaffihúsið

A few cats live and stroll around the café hence the name which translates to “The Cat Café”. The cats are all up for adoption so if guests find a special connection to one of the fur-friends they can apply to adopt. The menu includes vegan sandwiches and cakes.

Emilie’s

This small cafe also called Emily and the cool kid offers yummy vegan bagels, cakes, cookies and any other sweets you could think of. With everything made fresh each morning this café is so worth the visit.

Lúna Flórens

Café filled with plants and crystals, they offer home-made cocktails, coffees and wines. Here you can also get a taste of cakes from all-vegan cake-maker Baunin. Connected to Lúna Flórens is the small restaurant Coocoo’s Nest, they offer nice vegan options for food.

Shopping

Most, if not all, grocery stores will have a variety of vegan speciality products mixed with fresh veggies, fruits and other basics. You will find vegan brands such as Violife, Anama, Linda McCartney and Gardein in nation-wide grocery stores like Krónan and Bónus. However Iceland also has a new fantastic option for grocery shopping, Veganbúðin, which translates to “The Vegan Store”. Veganbúðin is an all vegan shop that holds grocery, cleaning products, fresh baked goods, cosmetics etc. The store is one of the largest of its kind in all of Europe and we highly recommend taking a visit.

Vonarstræti is an eco shop in the Reykjavík center. They specialise in cosmetics and home-products that are sustainable, made by small producers in an environmental manner. They are guided by the circular economy and fair trade in all purchases.

There are a few second hand clothing stored in Reykjavík, although not all clothing there is vegan, they would be considered environmentally friendly:

Spútnik Laugavegur 28, 101 Reykjavík

Gyllti Kötturinn Austurstræti 8-10, 101 Reykjavík

Fatamarkaðurinn Laugavegur 126, 105 Reykjavík

Hringekjan (Market) Þórunnartún 2, Reykjavík

As apparent it is quite easy to find great vegan options in and around Reykjavík and the list expands regularly.

Oh hey Sara <3 Adventure wedding planning queen! Congratulations on this wonderful review from a happy couple ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "If you want to get married in Iceland choose Pink Iceland to plan your wedding! We worked with the wonderful Sara and could not be happier with our day! She planned our welcome dinner, full wedding day with 25 guests and our Sky Lagoon trip the day after. We didn't meet Sara until the morning of our wedding but after a few minutes it felt like we had known her for years. We had a bad weather forecast for our day and were in contact with Sara for most of the day prior to make "Plan B" arrangements. She understood how important it was for us to get married at our chosen location and was helpful in problem solving and offering her advice. On the day, the rain held out until after our ceremony but our photo tour was quite wet. Sara was always right there waiting with a big puffy warm jacket and towel for me to warm up and dry off. She was always checking in to make sure we were warm enough and offering kind words of encouragement throughout the day. She never complained even though she was probably pretty wet and cold as well. We had never been to either restaurant that we chose for our welcome dinner and reception but took Sara's recommendations and they were fabulous! She also recommended our amazing photographer (Kristin Maria) and videographer (Arnar Tomasson) who were simply wonderful. Our advice to couples would be to be patient and trust the process. It is not easy to trust a complete stranger to plan such a big day and being in another country not able to be hands on with the planning was even harder. Sara had thought of every detail and we had the most amazing day because of it. In addition, our guests had a once in a lifetime experience. Thank you Sara and the entire Pink Iceland team!"
it's that time again! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 Join us for Reykjavík Pride 2025, we have some extra colorful tours happening this year and we'd love to see you! Links to book are on our bio and on our website 💕 #reykjavikpride #icelandpride #lgbtq #pinkiceland #gaytours #gayiceland @reykjavikpride

We love creating unique memories in the days before and after the wedding day!
