Coocoo's Nest has has the best brunch in town!
They also make excellent Sourdough sandwiches during the week! Make sure to ask for the daily special.
Situated in the Harbour's "Fish-packing district," it's a solid place to get a bite during a walk around the Harbour.

Iceland´s oldest restaurant, which used to be a pharmacy (hence for the name Apotek). It never lets your down. My personal favorite: The Arctic Charr on a block of Himalaya Salt.
