Guidebook for Reykjavík
Food Scene
'Bakarameistarinn' at Suðurver. This bakery opens 6:30 every morning except sundays at 7:00. Besides a good variety of fresh baked bread and cakes, they make superb coffee and there is plenty of space to sit down and read the morning papers.

Arts & Culture
This is one of my favourite spaces in Reykjavik named after Jóhannes S. Kjarval painter were his works are permanently exhibited. Go there to experience architecture, modern art and icelandic heritage in painting + the soup in the cafeteria.
