Kaffivagninn is one of Iceland's oldest restaurants. Established initially as a food truck in 1935, Kaffivagninn has been at its current location since the 50's. When the Grandi was mainly a fishing industry district, Kaffivagninn was the sailors' main hangout, but throughout the years this casual café has attracted a broader crowd. The emphasis is on fish and other seafood done in a traditional Icelandic manner.

Set in an old, Icelandic-style wooden house from 1845, "Lækjarbrekka" always has some traditional food on its menu. Since the restaurant opened in 1981, the focal point has always been on the classical cuisine. The atmosphere is "fancy," but in an Icelandic, old-school sort of way.
