Where can I eat after midnight in Reykjavik?
Late-night eating in Reykjavik essentially means one thing: the hot dog stand. Bæjarins Beztu Pylsur on Tryggvagata, open until around 1 a.m. on weekdays and closer to 4:30 a.m. on weekends, is the reliable anchor. Order one with everything (eina með öllu) and you get ketchup, sweet mustard, remoulade, raw onion, and crispy fried onion. Beyond that, the Laugavegur strip has a handful of bars that serve food until the kitchen closes around midnight or 1 a.m., but they vary by season and night. Hlemmur Mathöll, the food hall near Laugavegur, closes well before midnight, so don't count on it. Your most consistent fallback after 1 a.m. is Domino's on Laugavegur, which runs late on weekends, or the convenience stores (Krónan, 10-11) stocking sandwiches and skyr around the clock. Reykjavik is not a late-night food city; plan accordingly.
