LYST

Best place for breakfasts and lunch in city! Friendly staff, simple for understanding menu list, one of the best organic wine list, very tasteful food, big portions, food quality deserves Michelin 🤩 star! As coffeeholic truly say - it's the perfect filter coffee place! And in last but not least, Omnom croissant 🥐 - perfection for starting your best day!

Stopped for lunch. Split half n' half a tuna salad on toast with my husband's smoked char on toast. Both were amazing. The olives were also very good.

Been here a few times when staying in Akureyri. This has to be one of our favourite spots for coffee/hot chocolate and lunch. Beautiful building, cosy and great atmosphere, good music playlist and friendly staff. Will always be somewhere to come.

Specialty coffee shop with Synesso S200 and Mythos grinder. They use Reykjavik Roasters brasilian beans. Great and cozy vibe.

Lovely bright seating area and wonderfully decorated tasty sandwiches within the beautiful botanical garden in Akureyri. Definitely worth a visit for coffee and breakfast or lunch break after a nice long stroll in the lovely garden.

Very rarely does something live up to the hype quite like Lyst and their smoked char on sourdough. The char was rich and smooth. The sourdough bread complemented the char perfectly; it was both fluffy and crispy, providing a satisfying crunch that was easy to bite into. This is a MUST.

I had a delightful experience at Lyst that I had to visit again! The availability of an English menu and the English-speaking staff made the dining experience incredibly comfortable. The stunning building, adorned with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the gardens, created a picturesque setting. The entire vibe of the place is enchanting, especially in the middle of winter, casting a magical atmosphere. We were lucky it snowed while visiting! The use of dark chocolate in drinks added a distinct and delightful flavor, and the presentation of the food was truly impressive. We savored the smoked char and tuna, both impeccably prepared and delicious. Lyst is a must-visit for those seeking a combination of exquisite tastes, beautiful ambiance, and warm hospitality.

Nice little cafe nestled in the botanical gardens. The decor is really nice with plants decorating the edge as well. I tried the avocado toast and it was delicious, I little too salted at some points but I liked it. They have coffee and baked goods as well that I didn’t have a chance to try.
