- Summary of the Vegan and Vegetarian Guide to Reykjavik
What are the best options for vegan and vegetarian food in Reykjavik? Is the selection plentiful or limited? Are there restaurants that offer only plant-based food? How vegan-friendly is Reykjavik in general?
Reykjavik has seen its dining options increase dramatically in the last few years. The availability for fine dining has never been higher, with an array of restaurants offering fresh, traditional Icelandic ingredients prepared with international fusions. The same progression has graciously been happening for vegan and vegetarian options.
Vegan and vegetarian diets are becoming increasingly popular, and today, there is hardly an Icelandic dining establishment that doesn’t offer one or two vegan options on its menu. Now, most grocery stores even offer a pretty decent selection of vegan products.
If your accommodation in Reykjavik offers access to a kitchen, you can use the opportunity to try new and different meals. If you're planning a road trip with a rental car, keep this in mind when you look for accommodation in Iceland, and stock up on some groceries at the start of your trip!

With veganism being widely regarded in a positive light, the focus has shifted more to the food itself, meaning that vegans and vegetarians can finally enjoy the full benefits of fine dining. Now, you can even join a special vegetarian food tour of Reykjavik!
Is this development because the lifestyle is finally respected and applauded due to heightened awareness? Or simply because of increased numbers and noticeable effect on the market? No matter the reasons, the results can’t be argued with.
That is why, when conducting a restaurant guide such as this one, we can afford to be pickier than in the past. For this guide, we have explored the best Reykjavik has to offer in regard to plant-based eating. Read on to discover where to go and what to get in our list of the top vegan and vegetarian spots in Reykjavik.

Where to Buy Vegetarian and Vegan Food in Iceland
The Krónan on Hallveigarstigur street in downtown Reykjavik.
When it comes to vegetarian and vegan food in Iceland, there is one grocery store that stands out for its selection. Krónan offers the best range of vegan and vegetarian groceries in Iceland by far, with vegan meat and dairy alternatives, pastries, ingredients, toiletries, and much more.
Shopping for groceries in Iceland is a great way to make your trip more affordable, as eating out often will be pricey. It therefore helps that Krónan also offers some of the lowest food prices in Iceland and is one of the most popular grocery stores among locals!
Krónan has special sections for vegetarian and vegan products, which are carefully marked with their "V" symbol. As usual, when in doubt, it's always best to double-check the ingredients to ensure they are safe, but it's a very easy and reliable tool for navigating the Krónan stores.
If you're planning to explore the countryside of Iceland with a rental campervan or are staying in accommodation with a kitchen, then we highly recommend buying a lot of groceries before you leave Reykjavik. Vegan options can be hard to come by in the countryside, so stock up in one of the Krónan stores in the Capital Region.
There are also Krónan stores in Akureyri in North Iceland, in Vik along the South Coast, and in Reydarfjordur in the Eastfjords, but Reykjavik stores tend to have the best selection.

These Reykjavik establishments offer only vegetarian or vegan options and are the perfect choices for a completely meat-free lunch and dinner.
Chickpea

The food is popular with vegan, vegetarian, and meat-eating locals alike and pretty affordable by Icelandic standards. The restaurant's laid-back, friendly atmosphere, coupled with its commitment to wholesome, sustainable food, makes it a go-to choice for an affordable vegetarian or vegan meal in Reykjavik.

The staff is very friendly, and I recommend that you ask for their tasty falafel wrap as vegan or try their vegan falafel bowl. Much of their menu is vegetarian as well.
Mandi is a very popular spot to head to after a night on the town since they're open until a whopping 5 AM on Fridays and Saturdays. They have two other locations in Reykjavik and Kopavogur, but their location on Ingolfstorg Square deserves a special highlight because of its opening hours and convenience.

Their drink menu is pretty decent, as they have some exciting Icelandic and Asian beers, along with wines and cocktails.
It's located in the Hafnartorg Gallery food hall in central Reykjavik, which offers different restaurant options under one roof.

Summary of the Vegan and Vegetarian Guide to Reykjavik
Be it food that is fast, healthy, comforting, or lavish, Reykjavik is now finally a city boasting of all of these options when it comes to vegetarian or vegan dining. When it comes to leaving the house to eat, denouncing animals and/or animal products from your diet has never been easier—and perhaps never as appealing.
